Hymee, I don't need a Nikon. I choose Canon so my uncle can pass on his unwanted telescopic lenses cheap! :p

Yeah loved it when auzoom was told you could fully turn the DSC off. Hundreds of dollars of rubber later his tyres were all nicely warmed up for heading back down the mountain. :D

There are times when I hate work. Sounds like it was great fun. Next time I'm going to make sure nothing happens that would come close to requiring me to work on an RX-8 meetup.
So, when's the next one going to be and where?

Where were you draco? work ![Frown](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
We were waiting for you in Melton Main Road.....![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Next one will be tricky. coz I think it is hard to top the Lake moutain run with all the twisties and no cars
. No cops and the speed limit is 100 kmh!
Although I went part of the run over 150kmh. ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Any suggestion for say in 2 months time?
Hang on... we are going tracking then in July.
How about an Event Oneill day for the 8s? I will contact Luke today.

Two possible routes were mentioned yesterday, A trip down the back way to Arthur's Seat or down the Great Ocean Road part of the world. Both offer some really good back roads which do not see a lot of traffic!
As to when

Event O'Neil will depend on day and cost. I've not got much annual leave available so a week day is not possible.
A July weekend drive would be good. What about a Great Ocean Road drive? Not necessarily the entire length, but it would be a really good drive.
I'll start a thread for suggestions for the next one.

PS...I cant beleive with all the photos and video that not one of Takas, mine or (if never caught the name of the dude in) the RX-7's burn outs were caught on camera :-(

Andrew Sorry about no burn out photo's. I can always photoshop some clouds around your car
Thanks for hosting the pics. If anyone wants the full collection on cd just pm me your postal address and I'll put one in the mail
I have some photos of the BBQ but much to our shame as Aussie Males, the photo's show the women cooking the BBQ. I think we may be deported !!!!!

..... Me :D :D :D
She just did not enjoy that stretch as much as me. And with the sways and springs, Body roll... What body roll!
When I caught those in front of me I was watching the roll in their rear ends throught the corners. WOW!
If I only had a hoist and 10 sets of sways up the top of the mountain I could have made a fortune. :D

Andrew did say on the way down that he car is about to tip over.
Less body roll = better cornering... that is probably why I lose you on the turns auzoom! :D
You should have sat in the car with me Danielle. :D
I have perfected my heel toe as Matt Coleman taught me to do. I am going to show Matt that in July. He will be happy about that.
