Another Aussie meet

[walkie86]

G'day,


On Tuesday a bunch of us (15-20 cars) from OZRS met at Homebush (site of the 2000 Olympics) for a cruise across Sydney to a pizza restaurant at Newport, near the beach (great pizza!). A short section of twisties down into Newport but apart from that just a gentle cruise.


Nothing special in the pics but here ya are:

FYI, saw some figures recently that Aus is now the 10th largest market for Renaultsports around the world, jumping from 14th in 2010 thanks to the success of the RS250 (sold more of them than Mazda 3MPSs!). Be interested to know what the 9 largest countries are! Any guesses?

Some great cars and totally agree with said above bout the weather, really jealous. At the moment my Flamer is big bag of salt on wheels lol

Very nice shots too what lens did you use?

 

[walkie86]

Thanks for the comments! The weather has actually been crap here all summer :-( the day of the drive it rained lightly in the morning but held off for our meet, then pi55ed down on the way home :-(

Camera is Canon 7D, lense is Sigma 24-70mm 2.8 for static shots and Canon 10-22mm for rolling shots (had out the window while I was driving, hence they're not super sharp).

Our roads get no salt or anything on them, the biggest problem we have is bird sh1t - we have a lot of birds and they seem to eat a lot. :-(

There are quite a few Brits who have made the move to Aus joining our club when I pick up an RS over here - the yellow R26 is an Irish guy and the black 200 is an English guy!
