Breakfast Run to Hermanus Bay on 4 Sept

[Philip Foglar]

Great pics guys! Didn't get chance to edit and upload mine today, will get around to it tomorrow though!

@Philip - Saw you and your wife as we were leaving McD's and drove behind you guys until the Engen. Your wifes car is in great condition and that engine seems very healthy, that DIY is paying off

Wanted to meet up along the run and test the different generation 330's but there is always next time :rollsmile: Your car is looking great though!

I am disappointed we didn't get to chat - saw your car a few times during the run. Think I was then parked behind you at the One Stop! Definitely sounds like a plan for the next run - plenty I reckon coming up since Summer is on the way back one of these days!!!

Yep, her car is going very nicely, still so glad I got her a 6I!!! DIY FTW! :thumbs:

Hi guys,

Finally got around to uploading (and quick edit) my pics! Sorry, only took a few pics, so chances are I missed loads of your awesome cars!

Part 2:

My Wife's car for the first time on a breakfast run! :rollsmile:

Still on the way to Betty's Bay:

After an awesome meal at Ocean Basket we started our next leg of the journey before returning to Cape Town. Oddly enough,
probably the only pic I have taken of the two cars next to each other:

My car's average consumption just before Betty's Bay - eventually climbed to 8.4 l/100 km after some spirited driving on the
Houw Hoek Pass, but then returned to a very reasonable 8.1 l/100 km by the time we got back to Durbanville:

Sorry, lots of pics but quite highly compressed and scaled down... To see the entire album take a look here on
Facebook.

Thanks Charles, thanks Theo!!

No problem, point'n'shoot cam so only 4 megapixel file size - have uncapped so can easily send through, let me know.

Didn't get chance to say earlier, awesome pics Chris!! And interesting effects! :thumbs:

Nice pics guys, now I can see all the cars that I didn't get to see on the run. I didn't have a chance to meet all of you and see your car.

Glad you all enjoyed the run. Pity that the service at OC was bad.


The park off is a good idea. I will see what I can organize to have one in Century City.
Shall we just park and stand around the cars and chat, or chill out at a restaurant like Time Cafe, Mama Roma (pizzaria) or Knife (steakhouse)

Great pics Philip, some nice ones of our cars together :thumbs: Funny, I had the exact same consumption (7.9) when I stopped in Hermanus

I developed a bit of a heavy right foot on that awesome coastal road so jumped ahead but will definitely meet up on the next run!

Thanks! Still kicking myself that we never got around to chat - definitely next time! Yep, your car looks spectacular!! :drool:

LOL, that heavy foot always develops somewhere along a drive like this! At one point I overtook a string of cars (at some speed) and in doing so overtook a mazda cabrio (can only be an MX5) that was busy "flying past some slower traffic". :fencelook:

It will be awesome if we could have like some type of show where people can come view the cars, maybe have like best in class certificate or sumthing like that:rollsmile:

Hahah nice, can't feel good being overtaken while overtaking. At least he got to hear the awesome sound of that straight 6 as you cruised through :rollsmile:

Just filled up and got an average consumption for the day 12l/100km. Not bad considering the drive home was... spirited.

No fance stuff like OBCs weighing down the Coupe

 

[Philip Foglar]

Thanks Mo!!

LOL, yep! Love the tractability of these engines, not to mention the soundtrack when it's working a bit! :inlove:

12 l/100 km for the M Coupe is pretty good for an M car driven on a route like this in a spirited manner! Must dig through my Car mags for their review of the Coupe - I just remember it was epic according to them!! :thumbs:
