Excuse my absence the last few months, I've still been floating around but have had serious work commitments as well as getting a puppy and doing even more serious home renovations!! (which i like anyway..) ..
however my point is that all this has led to me not having actually touched my car in about 7 months resulting in it being unregistered atm.

Other than that I would be super keen for this drive Vu! But will be spending this weekend with family as am due to become an uncle tonight/tomorrow!!

Come on guys do it! everytime I've been out, its been a good run!

L.

ah here we go with the unattendees congrats though Luke, don't be too good for the new family member, you'll be expected to buy lotsa presents over the years

attending:
BOYRCR - Brett & mate,
Jaxom_2 - Michael,
Mundi - Christian & Claire,
Noodle - Nguyen,
randymx5 - Randall,
SuperMazdaKart - Vu (I think so) &
XPOSED - Mike, along with Pete/Monika/Chris.

Unfortunately not attending:

emeseey - Lochie (Motorkahna),

Not long to go now. For those who are going, the prize categories will be

*Are we there yet? - First to arrive at meetpoint

*Is it lunch time yet? - First to get to OceanGrill

*Please sir, can I have some more? - Person who eats the most!

*Battle of Rock, Paper, Scissor

*Golden Spanner Award - Made a fool of yourself? (if it happens)

Maybe a few others if I can think up some good ideas.. Will also probably bring my laptop computer along as well, so if anyone wants a copy of any of my MX5 servicing manuals, photos, vids, Initial D/eX-Driver etc stuff feel free to ask. Can write to DVD or better yet, bring your own USB memory stick.

I spoke to Pete and Monika and Chris, we should have 2 more cars!

ill link them to this thread

see you on sunday!

Mike did you get my message on facebook?

You haven't met Brett yet and I don't want to encourage any sort of "race" on the roads but i'm pretty sure he'll take out a few awards.

*Is it lunch time yet?
*Please sir, can I have some more?
*Golden Spanner Award

might limit to 1 prize per person then, can't have some interstater winning everything can we..

if Brett is staying at that place then he unfairly wins already lol..

won't be a race there, it'll just be whoever happens to get there first.

thats goods news Mike, is this ChrisP who we havn't seen here for a long time? bringing the supercharger i hope

Hi Vu What time is the lunch booking. Cheers John

12:30

Ah, what the hell.

Count me in too.

I've got a black NA8 complete with a sticky taped rear window. Gonna leave the hardtop at home.

This will be my first long drive in the 5. Can't wait!

The uni studies can wait. hehe

Might have to take you up on that offer of the MX5 service manuals too, SuperMarioKart

plus 1. whats your name?

i don't have a NA8 specific manual. don't think there was one? they only did supplemental chapters of the 1.8 differences & added it to the NA6 manual. should almost all be exactly the same anyway.

& we have a winner for the Golden Spanner Award already!

Hey all,

My name is Nguyen

and before anyone asks, that's my first name and not my last.

Yeah, I can't imagine there would be too many differences between the NA6 and NA8. Is it an official Mazda one ?

ah i see.

the one i got is the official mazda one, it's for the U.S left sided steering wheel versions not that it matters much though.

noooo..

theres going to be showers tommorrow.. my just cleaned & waxed car..

It's. Not my fault my right leg is longer from birth and I am a growing boy(big boned). Do I win the golden spanner award for dragging a road bike off the lights the day before the cruise and destroying second gear??

It only took 4 hours to change over a gearbox in a caravan park using a car trailer as a hoist.
