Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

        That's not really a route, cos you end up about a billion kms from where you start. And a billion kms from civilisation too

        I reckon the first half of that route, then the 2nd half can head back towards where we start rather than taking us out bush.

        I can't drive, but I think I'll be riding shotgun with someone.

            thats way too big a cruise....especially for us Goldy boys. we have to drive an hour before we even start so we'd be doing 9 hours of driving that day. i only get about 350km out of a tank, there'd have to be a few BP's on the way. as sam said, do half that, and then turn around and head back on a different route. much more appealing.

              Use your imagination you obviously drive home from the end point. But it does go along way out.

                      So you admit I'm better... your car is already more modified... suspension, FMIC and you need more to beat me?

                          So anyway back on track... What's our modified trip to Toowoomba looking like anyone? (Assuming that's what this cruise is going to be)...

                            Couple of alternatives for your thoughts

                            a) Cut the coast boys some slack and once you hit esk head back towards ipswich along dam instead of heading up to toowomba. Then they can always jump on the logam motorway home. Really shortens the cruise though

                            b) from Esk head north to the Daguilar from there east till you hit woodford. Then head south over Mt Mee to Dayboro (great lookout up top and great bakery in Dayboro as well as another good mountain to do). From dayboro head onto Dayboro road to Bruce highway where coast boys can jump on the gateway home, and the rest of us back towards town. If not dayboro road heading to the bruce then head to samford which is basically back where you started and only 15min from Dayboro

                              How about I'm going to take a punt, and say there could be quite a few new people about, who might not want a long cruise to start off with. So just a suggestion, make it a bit shorter and maybe a tad more of a meet and greet with a bit of a nice drive.

                              Maybe with a longer drive for those who want to after?

                              My thoughts anyway.

                              That and its way easier to organise

                                Yeah looking at the "Who lives on the Gold Coast" thread I think there's a bit of a need for a bit of a drive and more meet and greet type day where everyone can meet one another, take a few photos, have a bite to eat etc. I know I'm the one who sugested Toowoombah but I think a big SE QLD meet and great would be good for the forum. Thoughts?
                                Cheers,
