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!

Great roads, great cafés, plenty of MX-5s … now we just need a few people willing to make it happen!
