Beechworth Bakery Cruise

Confusing I know, but we didn't end up in Beechworth, we ended up in Healesville,  I shall explain.

It's 8:15am on a magnificent summer morning, and the Diamond Creek McDonalds car park is full of MINIs.  Blue, silver, red, black.. you name it, even yellow MINIs were all present.

I mentioned it was a stunning morning, starting off with some fog which lifted as we drove through rolling hills, tight corners all whilst sharing the roads with our cyclist friends

Sixteen MINIs in attendance, a fantastic turnout that managed to turn heads everywhere we drove.

Here we are having a little break about 90mins into the drive at Kinglake

From here we headed to Healesville to have breakfast at the Beechworth Bakery in, yes you guessed it Healesville. It's actually one of six stores in Victoria.

From here, everyone did their own thing before heading off home.

This was another fantastic run organised by the Events Director, Peter Williams. Thanks for a great morning Peter!

Feb 7 2015 - clubMINI Photo Shoot

Time to get artistic!  The time was 7pm at Bivio Pizza Bistro in Kew. MINIs, with their owners, tripods and cameras ate some Pizza and then jumped into their 'go-karts' ready for some long exposures.

The backdrop was the Melbourne City Skyline - looking stunning as always. We all know Melbourne is like the BEST city in Australia.. but I digress..
