The inaugural Central Coast Chapter (?) drive brought 19 enthusiasts together for a scenic convoy through the Yarramalong Valley, Bumble Hill and the Old Pacific Highway. Despite rain closing in at Mt Penang Gardens, it was a fantastic day of motoring, camaraderie and exciting ideas for future events.

We’ve been here to Wee Jasper a few times already and will probably go a few times more. Simply, it is one of our local region’s best drives. A mere 70 km, we leave our city far behind for the 60-minute journey through forest and farmland to the friendliest distillery in town.

Great weather, great roads, even better cars and a fantastic group of friends. We had it all. And to top it off, a train ride! A baker’s dozen of cars (12 x MX-5, 1 x i20N) and four and twenty members had a hoot. Whoo hoo! Toot toot!

Central Coast: Is It Time to Start a Chapter?

30 August 2026 / Story by Bryan Shedden

Why doesn’t the Club have a Central Coast Chapter? It’s a question that’s been asked for more than a decade. With 30 members already on the Coast — and plenty more owners in the MX-5 community — perhaps the time has finally come. Great roads, great cafés, plenty of MX-5s … now we just need a few people willing to make it happen!

Read how our drivers fared, who took the class honours, and how the Championship is shaping up with two rounds remaining.

New Club Regalia

17 August 2026 / Story by Fiona Shedden

The crisp morning air and an open stretch of tarmac form the ultimate road trip combination. However, cooler weather requires the right gear to keep passengers comfortable. The MX-5 Club of NSW introduces a new collection of cold-weather apparel. These pieces feature the official club logo and integrate smoothly with the existing regalia range.
