SE QLD Drive Day #2

Hoyhoy.
Hey Shaneth this isn't going to happen to us hey.
So Golf Loon's idea sounds O.K.

[QUOTE=Golf Loon]
Next time we will have maps and designated meeting points.

we lost a few along the way but was an awesome day.

great turn out guys.. although very unorganised argh! but great never the less
hopefully another one soon and we can all keep together this time lol

[Dr Spine]

A map for each car would be a good idea. A contact mobile numbere for the "leaders" car would also be a good idea just incase someone gets lost.

[shaneth]

Yep dr spine i agree and am onto it.

Also i would like someone who knows the drive to volunteer to go first or last (me being the opposite and i don mind which one i go just as long as the other driver knows where they are going.) as i have 2 cbs and think it would be good to have the first and last car to have one. just incase something happens back there

pm me if your interested

[Dr Spine]

Great idea on the CB's. The planner should have the honour of "leading the pack". So long as he doesn't go too slow

[Eddy]

Hoyhoy.
Need a co-driver for any talky talky, other wise we'll all be in line behind the FUZZ.

No worries there mate.


Good point eddy. I have a co driver so i guess the person who volunteers tho go last will need to have a co-driver.

NB. i have the directions in word format and will print a hole heap before the cruise. Also can everyone pm me to confirm who is coming so i can book this weekend. And the amount of people in the car.

Route –
1st section.
Maccas – Up Mt Nebo – Down Mt Glorious – Stop at Red Cedar park. (not white Cedar)

From maccas we head north on the ICB, and take the Musgrave Road exit. Follow this road all the way to Mount Nebo (nebo is a great run, be careful as 2-3 corners are sharp after a crest of a hill. This is only a moderate section of mountain.) and down the back of Mount Glorious (the back of Mt Glorious is very steep with very very sharp hairpin, in my opinion extra care is needed. This would be the hardest section of road for the whole cruise.) where we will have a quick break fro 15-20min. I have seen brakes burn going down the back of glorious so a little break just to let it cool down abit. This stretch is 58km and took me 58 min.




2nd Section
Red Cedar Park – Right on Wivenhoe-Somerset Road – Right on Esk-Kilcoy Road – Stop at The Spit.
Next stage is from Picnic Ground to The Spit where i think it would be good to take some photos as you can drive down onto the waters edge (if there arent to many boat trailers down there.) This is a high speed section most of it 100km/h. This stretch is 40km and took 30min



3rd Section
The Spit – Right on D’Aguilar Highway – Right on Mount Mee Road - Stop on corner of D’Aguilar Highway and Mount Mee Road.
Next stage is from The Spit to the turn off Of mount Mee road. This is another 52km of mainly highway driving. Wont stop here for long just enough for toilet if anyone needs it and regroup. There is also a scenic lookout 9km down the road if more photos are wanted.

Continued

4th Section

4th stage is from Mount me Rd to Crown Hotel where we will have lunch. Another 34km and an hour from the spit. From here im guessing we can split up if everyone wants to otherwise we can cruise back to brisbane and then split um up for suggestions.



Home

Here is a map for the quickest way home and also directions.

[Golfer]

Oh no!!!

I'm sorry guys...

I was so gee'd up for this cruise and for meeting you all, like you wouldn't believe...

But I've had a rather devistating week of it this last week...

Read more in General Chat "Where's Golfer gone???"

Have fun guys, It'll be an awesome day!!!...

I WILL BE ON THE NEXT CRUISE!!!

Thanks all
John

[tofo17]

Hi guys,

I'm coming in a bit late but I'm probably up for this... as long as Jettas can come too! Actually, I live about 2km from the Milton Maccas so this is a great start point for me

I need to check a few things *cough* ask wife *cough* but I think it should be doable. I will have spare seats if anyone wants to ride along.

Cheers,
Tom

[brackie]

Of course they can!

Welcome mate and if it's a VW and it's cooled by water (or a solution with water as it's major component ) then it's eligable. We're not a Golf forum or a Polo forum......

[shaneth]

I would love for another watercooled vw to come.

[Guy_H]

Should at least be able to make it to the start

[Dr Spine]

I'll put my hand up to be the spoil sport. My feeling is that this is a VW cruise. All you need to do to come along is drive a watercooled VW. I've got mates with cool cars that aren't VW's.......they can't come. It's not that they wouldn't have a great time or that they're not great blokes....they're just not in watercooled VW's.

Am I alone in feeling this way?

Doesn't the drive loose some of it's fun and meaning if the cars in front and behind you aren't VW's.

How different would the group photo's be. VW, VW, Mini, VW, Cortina, Holden, VW, VW, Ford.....It's no longer a VW cruise......It's just a cruise. Any of us can do that anytime, just go to your rearest road.

Anyway, I think I've made my point.

Thoughts everyone.
