View Full Version : NatMeet XII

Had the most amazing week of Roadster life this week. NatMeet XII was in Tasmania with 106 Mx-5’s tasting the renowned local roads over seven days. We were split up into a group of about a dozen cars marked by a Soul Red ribbon on the rear. Groups left thirty minutes apart, with other groups going to different destinations on each day. It was an excellent event, very well organized and lots of exciting driving. There was two days of trackdays at Symmons Plains and Baskerville raceways, but I didn’t attend them so first day for me was the Concourse.

I missed the next day and the run south to Hobart where I live because this had arrived and I could not wait to see it. Perfect.

Drove my Malibu with the top down on the last day doing a southern loop.

Looks like a perfect weekend, topped by the pitcrew rear arriving! Some very nice cars, but your pitcrew easily outshone them all! The bridge in the last photo looks weird and cool and pretty.

Thanks! I do have a kinda slack build thread here (http://mazdaroadster.net/showthread.php?7234-Malibu-Q-from-Tasmania/page7).
edit: I got asked about that bridge on another forum, so here's a google street view of the location (https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-42.5378823,146.7344001,3a,75y,95.55h,73.64t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sslyzQsjRdNTBuj5m1hKGBQ!2e0!7i3 328!8i1664?hl=en").
