My vote goes to the group in Christchurch, New Zealand. 17 cars, and more people, came out on a gray, winter day for the Drive Your V8 Day. You are a dedicated group!

Those pics should make it into the V8 Times.

I'll second that. However, all the pics from everyone who got there EFV8 out for a drive that day look great & yes, they should all be in a future issue of the V8 Times! - F F
