On a greyish cool morning 11 mx5s plus a shiny red Abarth spider 124 met at Mount Colah maccas for a run to Crackneck Point Lookout.
We enjoyed the twisties on the mostly traffic free Old Pac highway before stopping at West Gosford Maccas for a short briefing.
Navigating through the Gosford traffic was fairly uneventful and we soon found ourselves on beautiful Tombi Road enjoying the pastoral scenery as the sun came out .
The Crackneck lookout was indeed a cracker and we were lucky enough to spot a couple of whales migrating south , which we heard from the locals is common at this time of the year.
Lunch was at The Balcony restaurant at Shelly Beach nearby where Godwin managed to get us a perfect table on the eponymous balcony for us to enjoy delicious seafood , beautiful ocean  views and fun conversations .

Thank you again Godwin for a great MX5 day at the Central Coast.
