I would just like to thank everyone for such a great trip this morning. The drive was absolutely FANTASTIC, especially through the very windy road towards the end (don't remember the name).

Thanks Jess for organising a great drive!

Andrew.

Thanks Jess, for organising such good roads with a minimum of Toyota's wobbling around in front of us, the roads were damp and wet which made for exiting driving without exceding the speed limit, only saw 2 camera cars parked at the side of the road.
Lunch was nice at the Grand Hotel at the Yarra Valley, and then it was a an hour or so back home.
Good turnout of cars, with 2 4C's present and a good mix of Alfa Romeo's with a lot of new Giulietta's present, well done Jess, Colin.

Cheers guys! Thanx soo much for attending aswell  ;D!
I noticed one speed camera in the 100 zone while we were taking a long straight in the second half, hopefully I wasn't a few km/h over if there were any others hiding around, however the roads and conditions seemed pretty good nonetheless and was a lengthy but exciting drive.
Also a big thanks to John Hanslow for helping me sort out the route and booking a lunch spot after the date change.

I managed to grab a small collection of good photos from the day, definitely need to take more next time (I always say that)  :)
