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_
