BTW, i wont be taking an FPV or XR product either, will be something completly left-field...

Eyyy, sorry, i forgot to mention that the run against the XR8 was actually on my old boss's private property and not a public road.

Back to it though, Is it alright if i throw this thread up for the XR5 guys to have a look at??? or do u guys want to keep it simple???? let me know.

Dont forget this cruise guys and girls.
As mentioned earlier, we will be using some fantastic roads in and around the dandenong ranges.
Definitly not one to miss, if the fun had by all on Wild Run #1 is anything to go by.
Cheers.

Would just like to thank everyone for coming along to the Wild Run #2 and hope you all enjoyed the run with some very nice & tight windy roads, even had about 4 hairpin corners!! :eclipsee_ :eclipsee_
Mother Nature put on a beautiful day of sunshine. We started off at Bayswater Bunnings car park & drove through the Dandenong Ranges, had a pit stop in Gembrook, then headed off through Cockatoo, Hoddles Creek, Woori Yallock to finish at the Terminius Hotel in Healesville for a very filling pub lunch and heaps of laughter!! It was nice to see some fresh faces too!! : : : Someone picked up a new nickname!!???? :

Spot on Grasshopper (Especially about the 'being smarter" thing : ! Fabulous day - weather was sensational (lucky it wasn't on Saturday!) with quite a few newbies....... my old girl wasn't ready so had to settle for riding shotgun in a different kind of old girl. But my friends....... that was nothing compared to..... THE MANTIS!!!!!!!!! : :
Sensational work to MRSXR-8 for a great day.
The next run is Sunday 15th April and this time we are heading west..... hey so we go from the Wild run #2 (so could be the Wild wild run) to the West run.... does that mean stetsons, chaps and showdowns at 20 paces.... and no naughty comments about the chaps boys and girls..... :

Thanks for orgnising a great run (yet again) MRSXR-8 and co.

The weather was great, the cars looked awesome and we had the pick of the traffic conditions (apart from some interesting motorcycle riders).

The boat may come out again on the WILD WEST Run.

Well Barbagello is at Wanneroo. Great little circuit, very undulating and as there is large run offs on a couple of corners the drivers tend to take it the limit. The esses is the best spot though. The Biante Masters races were great. Watch out for these on TV.
Yes I have been missing the T for quite a while !!!!!

It's a bit late but thanks to everyone for organising the event. It was certainly good to meet you all for the first time! By thye way I managed to get home unscathed to the "WILD WEST" (as some of you have been calling it), I promise you it's not that bad...is it?

Hopefully see you all in the near future!

Cheers
