Was a great day, I bought my grey Focus XR5 along. Thanks to everyone for extending your hospitality. I met some great people and generally had a great time both on and off the road.
Was fun seeing (and hearing) some fantastic Aussie muscle cars in the flesh too

Thanks to Nicole and all who organised the crusie.
It was a really enjoyable drive through the hills (and that was only over the speedhumps), and the little info session on the 'toys' was interesting. Everyone's car were looking great but there was one old XR that was blowing some smoke.:eclipsee_

Everyone's car were looking great but there was one old XR that was blowing some smoke.:eclipsee_[/QUOTE] I thought old cars blew smoke because they had worn rings ! A big thanks to MRSXR8 and 1600GT ( formely Group C ) for a great day. Luvved the car display especially the XE. Thanks also to the members who helped cook the snags. It was a pity Micks car wouldn't start. Its OK Mick I had your snags ! Sorry to everyone for turning up late. I will be getting a new nickname starting with D.... if I keep that up. I was surprised at the number of cars that turned out. The cars looked great especially coming out of the Winery. Good top see old and new members plus a couple of prospective new ones . Great to see a couple of Focus's.  sleep:
