    What was moto up to today

    As my friends and I work shift-work, quite a few nights and weekends. One of the benefits is being able to go for a weekday drive up in the hills.
    I will start with the "organising committee"... in his "Rocket-propelled" clubman, very slow, not!



    A Megane RS 265 Trophy 808, sounded good under acceleration. Had to look the name up, it is so long.



    A Falcon GS (also sounded good under acceleration) and an Octavia VRS wagon, also part of the "organising committee".



    A Porsche Boxter S



    A cafe racer motorbike, Triumph Thruxton? Not too cluey on my bikes.



    And the "moto"-ute which was in stealth mode because I forgot to take any photos of it...idiot.

    Supposed to have one of those new fan-dangled Mercs with us too, but he only picked it up on Monday. He sold his Evo 9 to buy it, that was a nice car. Best handling thing I have driven.
    Big thumbs-up to the 1990 vintage Corolla SX Seca that led the way at one stage... he was going just nicely thank-you! Turned out to be a local so he knew the road very well.

    It was good to see all the re-building that has gone on up there too, after the 2009 bushfires.

    Talk about a wild mix of rides. When I did shift work for 7 years I loved doing the same. No matter what the mode of transport, getting out and about for a country drive while everyone else was at work (i.e. clear roads) makes it that much more enjoyable.

    Great pics! Nothing better than people having so much respect for each other's different taste in cars.

    That Clubman looks like a hoot, like the Megane as well. Sounds like you had a fun day
