Drive to Jindivick with BMW Car Club of Victoria November 15th

clubMINI hosted another joint drive with BMWCCV on 15 November.  On this occasion only a couple of BMWs were able to attend, but together there were plenty of MINIs including a number of people new to our drives.


We enjoyed a morning drive through the spectacular, sunlit spring scenery of western Gippsland.  That was followed by an animated drive on the twisty roads around Noojee – a little bumpy in places but enjoyed immensely by all.  The drive finished with leisurely brunch at the excellent Jindi Caf in Jindivick, overlooking the rolling hills and pasturelands and cloud-capped Mt Baw Baw.
