eXo we did a mt cootha to mt montville trip not so long ago now but im always keep for another drive. 8 hours through the mountains can be a bit too much sometimes. :P

what about if we organized the brissy boys for a trip through the beachsides from brissy to the gold coast? maybe to byron bay or tweed heads or somethnig like that? just something different before winter hits in? im keen for a good goldy trip! :D might pick up quite a few new members down there as there are heaps of IS200's down there that arnt apart of the club.

I'd love to cruise Long Beach in LA! thats where a lexus should live! B)

I'd be real keen, missed the last one.
How about the 6th of May (next sun)?

Byron sounds like a good idea, bit of a longer drive too than the goldcoast which has a high ratio of posers to drivers.

I'm on for a cruise - got my gearbox back today so will struggle it back into the car on Saturday. Needs to be run in now (with all new synchros) so a cruise would be good.

i think we do need a good coastal cruise. we'd be able to take some awesome photo's of the cars on the beachfront or with the city lights in the background on the way back or something. this weekend would be good cause monday is a public holiday but it may be a little too soon for some QLD members but its up to the majority i guess.

I reckon aslong as you have 4 cars its worth the effort. There are plenty of coastal routes and many weekends available so if anyone misses it should be easy organize another cruise in the near future.

I think we need a -
list of who's keen - exo, lxtasy, bmalar, grahamd, me

well known meeting point & time - mt cootha summit at 10?

route planned and leader- lxtasy, you seem to have few ideas? Maybe follow the format of meet, crusie to destination, lunch, cruise some more, coffee, make ya way home

requirements - full tank of fuel, wheels checked, cars washed and inspected, refidexs, mobiles, cameras, water and a good attitude ;)

Please feel free to add!

haha YellowIS you seem like you have more of a leaders role than what i have. lol. i made the idea of a coastal cruise but once we pass coolangatta i have no idea. we could always go for an arvo run to the gold coast and head into broady carpark at night (its the gold coast's fast n furious style carpark) and then go for a night cruise through surfers paridise. im just throughing sugestions up but dont think im the man for organizing the whole thing. SSML (Steven needs to come into action for these kinda things i think) :D

Hey gang,

I head back to NZ on June 21st. I have been to a couple of the NSW events but regretfully havent made it to a QLD event yet.

I am very very keen to meet you all before I depart back to NZ. Only deal is I would have to cruize with someone as my lil 50cc scooter wouldnt quite keep up with you all.

I am very keen for a Sunday cruize anywhere.

Regards,
Stephen

Ive sent SSML (Steven) an email to let him know of our idea. i think this sunday would be best as monday would be our day for rest. bmalar (ben) if your going to be on the coast already this weekend then maybe we could meet up with you guys on our way through during the day. YellowIS and i are thinking of the best route to go so we can drive through mt tamborine and then through the beaches of the gold coast. thats the plan so far guys. let us know what you think.

You planning on doing a track day with the car???

I'd be interested in coming out and watching.

QLD raceway is the main track. That's at willowbank (just outside ipswich). However, if you are out at Warwick there is another good track called Morgan park. It would be closer for you.

I am working at Domino's fulltime though if any1 like Pizza. lmao

BUT, a cruize b4 I go back is just what I need. I have a helmet but no car - haha.
