Hey Guys, hope you all had a good run Felt really bad not being able to go the whole trip. Will try to stick the not so stuffed f5a into the boy for the next run, so at least then i can keep up. On our way home i think we may have lost another 1/2 a cyl Its all good.
It was a good run, and a pitty you couldn't make it the whole way. I enjoyed the day, and it was a good drive to help run my F8b in. I had it out for 150kms on saturday, and with todays driving, it's a long way into being run in.

Hi guys.
I thoroughly enjoyed the day too. Seven Suzuki's and two other vehicles this time... The numbers are climbing (which is great).
I'm glad everyone had a good time today - Good to see those with "new" motors and "other issues" have all made it home safely.
I've put 4 photos of the day in my gallery.
So now on to the December run. Will be interesting to see how many turn up for that one.
I'd like to see any photos others took of the day if you'd care to up 'em to your gallery and let me know... Thanks!

Yes it was a great day alright except for the hills in my not new 550. I don't know if I'll take it again unless it's totally flat. In typical MB style I fired up my white F8B when I got home and now seems to running a lot better, just need to adjust the mixture and tappets so it must have been my lucky day after all....... Great to see toy 550's mad mazda along for the ride, was a nice touch and fitted in well with the MB collage. Looking forward to the next one in Dec, only 41 sleeps to go....

Absolutely great day. Loved the roads, beautiful scenery. Unfortunately went through $70 of fuel, next time I'll be in a Suzuki. Definitely make sure one of them is on the road by December. That way it should be a quarter of the price/fuel. Well planned routes, Great job Tez...
The mazda was a bit thirsty wasn't it? It was great to see it out and about, it's a true classic! Altho if i had the EB out, and on petrol (it's dual fuel), i'm sure i would have burnt about $50 bucks worth. $50 doesn't go too far in a larger car or rotary on petrol these days.
I ended up stopping for fuel again on the westgate on the way home, put another 12lrts into the boy, so on sunday i managed to burn thru 3/4 a tank, as i left home with somewhere between 3/4 & full. I think it's running rich. But it was running pretty well overall.
I'll upload some pics in a few mins.

That thing is a weapon....The mazda was a bit thirsty wasn't it?
At one point, Phil pulled out and went from about 100m behind me to 100m in front of me in one very LOUD BARRARP!!! - Gone...
What a fun car that must be... If thirsty...
