Starting at Mudgeeraba and having a down<br />
pouring of rain at 6am, we thought we’d be in<br />
for a miserable day. Leading up to the run date,<br />
we had 29 <strong>MX5</strong>’s registered. On the Saturday<br />
before the run, this jumped to 32 registrations.<br />
With the weather starting off pretty ordinary,<br />
we thought we’d lose a few cars but with only<br />
2 cars cancelling, a total of 30 cars attended<br />
overall. This was a new record for the Gold<br />
We left Mudgeeraba on schedule with the<br />
weather clearing even further whilst traveling<br />
via Worongary, Advancetown and up to Mount<br />
Tamborine. As we reached Mount Tamborine,<br />
and just after sighting the beautiful views of the<br />
whole Gold Coast to the left, we hit heavy fog<br />
that reduced visibility to only 100metres or so.<br />
Due to the Traffic Lights on Tamborine<br />
Mountain Road, group 2 caught up with group<br />
1, and group 4 caught up with group 3, luckily<br />
due to the next few sections of roads on the way<br />
to Beaudesert, some distance between the groups<br />
was restored.<br />
Travelling from Mount Tamborine to Canungra,<br />
saw the fog lift and revealed clear blue skies,<br />
Coast chapter, the previous record was 28.<br />
As the morning progressed, so did the weather.<br />

which everyone enjoyed for the remainder of the<br />
day.<br />
