To the 2 NDs and 2 NCs who waved enthusiastically to me today, just outside Longford, welcome to Tassie and I hope you have a great stay. I was in the grey Elise waving back :)

In fact, a hearty welcome to you all.

Did you lose marks at the concourse for your McGuyver broken-shifter quick-fix:

Seriously though, thanks for posting photos - we need to see more.

Well official Natmeet is over but a few of us are continuing on
Group cruise down to Hobart today over brilliant mountain roads
Swapped keys for some mountain time in a 2ltr ND ( very fast but extremely rolly and foul dead steering)
Anyway,
How cool is this?
Checked into the Lodge for two nights- see signs saying street parking only ☹️ manager checks us in, comes out to meet Lisa in the car- sees what we are driving and says oh it's ok you can use our spare garage- beside our Gold NB ! WinningImageImage

Had the most amazing week of Roadster life this week. NatMeet XII was in Tasmania with 106 Mx-5’s tasting the renowned local roads over seven days. We were split up into a group of about a dozen cars marked by a Soul Red ribbon on the rear. Groups left thirty minutes apart, with other groups going to different destinations on each day. It was an excellent event, very well organized and lots of exciting driving. There was two days of trackdays at Symmons Plains and Baskerville raceways, but I didn’t attend them so first day for me was the Concourse.

I missed the next day and the run south to Hobart where I live because this had arrived and I could not wait to see it. It's the PitCrew Racing rear to match the front.

Drove my Malibu with the top down on the last day doing a southern loop.

Thanks for those photos, they looked great. It would have been an excellent trip I'm sure. I love that Pitcrew :beer:

I believe it's referred to as "The mainland" in Tassie.
