What a great road to be driving a Mini

Haha did you get the mx5 from Cruze? I'm on holiday in Tassie too at the moment

Hehe yeah same, got the boxter last time we were here but have the Z4 roadster this time. If it wasn't so expensive I would have grabbed the boxter again. Not that quick but handles pretty well. The BMW is quite clunky, would love to bring the mini down one day.

Mines an nb mx5. Handles like a dream. Considering buying one after this. The rental was the same price as for a new small hatchback.

We drove the tourist rd from Launceston to cradle then down the west coast and over to Hobart.

It's a bit of a drive tomorrow for you. I'm in Coles Bay now. There is some Targa roads on the way back to Launceston.

Just about every road so far has been like a Targa road haha. 100k/hr zone the whole way and every 2nd corner is 35k recommended

That's if there is a recommended speed sign. You have to be ready to brake in Tassie.
