Your car looks fine from that side. If I avoided taking photos of my car on any side that has a dint, I'd only be able to take photos from behind! lol

Well, it took an hour to get the pics off my camera :P I've selected 75 of the best, and I'm in the midst of resizing and uploading them.

I also visited the Ford Discovery Centre this morning, would you guys like to see those pics too?

BLC - you should check if your camera has exposure compensation, it looks like you have it set to overexpose by two stops on every single photo you took there. Should be able to fix that in photoshop by turning brightness down a little (and bump up saturation to counter that)

Was a great day, best part was Rob and I having a awesome spirited cruise back along the GOR, too bad Mark was holding us up being in front so we kept pulling over on the side of the road for a few minutes, still caught up to them pretty quickly tho!
Thanks to everyone who helped organize and cook.
And thanks to Trick_XD and EA2BA for keeping the group together, good on ya Jas for pulling out and blocking traffic for a sec so we could all get out together!! Worked very well in keeping everyone as 1 group!

LWB slugs eh? :evil3:

How good was that run, we had hardly any traffic, and the cars were perfectly matched. Only thing I have to complain about was that my 16's looked tiny compared to everyone else :

Been browsing 18inch BA XR8's for the last 20min LOL

LOL thats what you were doing!! I saw you and BLC behind us, although there was one car in-between us, a camry, you were about 100 meters behind stuck behind the camry then about 3 times you disappeared out of sight, then popped back in sight after a while, I thought what the hell is going on...............

And yeah I agree the OZEcruisers train fron TRICK_XD to EA2BA worked well............ its just beacuse we are all just damn good drivers and not idiots on the road that it worked out without any accidents.

PS forgot to mention the Hamburgers were nice and tasty, not the run of the mill safeway cheap rubbish YUMMY, sausages got the thumbs up as well

It was hard for me to give it much more with the g/f yelling at me when we went a bit quick! I still had plenty left in the accelerator pedal! Will have to go down again with ya by ourselves on a quiet day!!

Yeah mate, MARK was holding us up and we needed our dose of fun! That Camry driver must have been wondering what was going on too, I think we dropped out 2 or 3 times.

Yeah, again it was very well done to keep everyone together, made it more of a club cruise instead of a car here and a car there cruise!

Heres some of my shots, just to kill dial up a bit more!!
THE BOGANS!!







On the way back to Bendigo we stopped at Daylesford Wombat Botanic Gardens and took these shots, they turned out wicked!




And just incase anyone missed my shiny (or as Swanny said, "in-natural") engine bay!

I might get some more photos up later.
