Yes.
That is correct.

NickG · 06-23-2007, 06:01 PM

I'm keen to join you all today but may be running late (tied up with family/son's birthday breakfast). Anyone comfortable to give me a mobile phone # so I can check where you've gone if we are a bit late?

Thanks!!

Guys,

Great to meet up with you all today.......Sorry that I could not make the cruise. I am looking forward to seeing the pics. I also think after today that I need to chop two doors off my sedan!

It was fun catching up sevey for what was an excellent day.

I'll post some piccies ASAP.

Cheers.

P.S. Four doors are great too. Oh, next time I'll bring a garbage bag.

Here is the first Sydney Forum meet at Dee Why today.

We thought it never would happen but thanks to Astra’s organisation, the forum members in Sydney finally caught up.

There were eight cars in total. From left to right the attendees were:

Astra and her boyfriend Aaron in her immaculate blue 325 convertible.
MPower in his spotless black 325ci.
NickG in his blue 335i accompanied by his sons – one of which was celebrating his birthday.
Daninsyd in is black 335 rocketship. Probably the quickest e92 in Sydney.
e93 in his new black 335i convertible. Sweeeet.
Me in the Space Grey 335.
Sevey and his lovely (and tidy ) partner Lindy in their 325i.
Merli in his red classic M3 convertible – very nice.

From Dee Why we drove up to West Head, which overlooks Lion Island. I think some of us did a re-enactment of the Bathurst 12-hour.

On the way back we stopped at Bayview for a bite and a well deserved rest. All up an A1 day.

Cheers.

CaptOz · 06-24-2007, 01:38 AM

Us driving along Pittwater Road through Dee Why. We had quite a presence on the road.

The view of Lion Island from the West Head lookout. Stunning.

The rest stop at Bayview on the way back.

This is Daninsyd's mighty 335i in motion. Exhaust, chipped, suspension. One mighty fine car.

I had Astra in front of me for the trip up to West Head. Boy, that girl sure can drive.

I have a few other photos and videos if anyone would like to see them.

Oh, Nick's son took a great group photo. Can't wait to see it.

Cheers.

This is Nick's photo overlooking Palm Beach lighthouse. I think it's too good to remain as a link.

Yeah it was a top day for it!
I'm thinking we should try and make it a monthly event!

1q2w3e4r · 06-24-2007, 04:36 AM

Looks like everyone had a good day! Glad the weather held off for all of you

I love the tints on this 335, thats a sweet ride!

I know this is E90 post and all, so I'm putting the flame suit on. But I reckon the E46's have it! Andrew that's a wicked colour combo on the M3 congrats on it, it looks the hotness without doubt.

How are you liking it compared with your previous fleet?
