So what date are people keen on?

10th, 17th or 24th on a saturday
11th, 18th or 25th are possible sundays?

I can't do any of those dates at all I'm sorry.

However, I can still do the 4th albeit hungover...

ive already done the ad for carsales. lol. just gotta send the cheque tomorrow. i'll leave it on there till it sells. it should grab some interest. not many on there in QLD like it. haha.

the 4th sounds good for me too. my birthday is the week after and my dads the week after that so i wouldn't make it after the 4th anyway.
LXTASY to you I say goodbye, but have fun in someone else's life.

Gary, Exo, SSML, Grahamd, Oliver, Jason, Dr.X3000, others?

I think anything above 4 cars is worth organising?
Who else can make it on the 4th?

As a possible route who would be keen to meet at the big Shell on Waterworks Road, Head through to Mt Nebo, stop at the top and wait for everyone to catchup, start the decent then go down Mt Glorious then drive all the way through to Dayboro where we can find a spot to have a bbq.

Mind you it does get quite crowded on this route on the weekends, so it would be nessecary to leave early... for those who live faraway however we could always come their own ways to meet up at dayboro for lunch then proceed to continue the cruise up mt mee and through to caboolture on to the hwy where the last stop could be made at one of those huge servos.

Hows that sound?

Excellent thats enough people for a cruise.

DATE: 4th of November

MEETING POINT: MT Cootha Botanical Gardens Carpark 10:00 for 10:30 departure.

ROUTE: To the bottom of Cootha, through Bardon, on to Waterworks road, through to Mt nebo, where we will regather at the top, then down Mt Glorious and through to Dayboro where we should be able to find a picinic spot somewhere. After lunch we'll continue to get to the top of Mt Mee and then get back to the highway through caboolture and stop at nearby servo.

PLEASE NOTE: Most of this route is highspeed single lane. Do not overtake unless nessecary as there are many motorcyclists and blind corners especially on the ascent to nebo. There will be a bit of traffic about so this we will be relying on people giving us way so we can stay together as a group. If you haven't driven this road keep to your own pace and pay attention to the speed limits. There's a 90% chance we wil see atleast one radar trap so be aware of this. There is a possiblity of stone chips / scrubbing tyres on the first part of this cruise so stick to your own pace, you won't get lost unless you stop continuing alond the road. There aren't many fuel stations on this route, have atleast half a tank of fuel, you'll need this to complete this journey to dayboro where the next fuel station is located. Make sure you have checked your tyre's pressures and brakes and your car is clean for photos and Bring Refidexes & Mobile Phones. Please post up if you haven't already to confirm if you are coming and not on the list to ensure that noone gets left behind. Friends Welcome as long as they can keep up.

BBQ food should be bought prior it will be BYO everything for everyone, please bring whatever tools/lighters/plates/conditments you have, I am not aware of any spots but there are bound to be a few around this area.

Now I can wash my car as we have 2 tanks now and a pump system to hose with.

Stephen - same tyres as yours. Last cruise I wrote yours down on a piece of paper so I didn't forget what to buy. Gary has trhe same on his IS250 as well.

Have a great day.
