Summer is supposed to be drawing to a close but Sunday didn't seem like it.
A group of like minded car enthusiast, some who were on the last run and some new, set off on a drive through the countryside in beautiful sunshine. The route included country and coastal roads as well as a nice windy gorge.

I did not take a camera so these are a few of the ones posted on PH by Rare350.
At the start rendezvous
This is some of the road.
(This is an older picture of mine as I posted a YouTube clip of this section of road over two years ago- see link in picture)
(This picture also contains a link to an older YouTube clip of the road)
We stopped at a few points on the way to regroup.
The final destination... Waitete Orchard for lunch - Waihi
Jared and Pip head off.
I took an extended tour on the way back with an Elise in tow. We explored some more of the less frequently used roads on the way home.
