  • QLD SE QLD Drive Day #2

    Well it looks like all went well on Drive day number 1. I was really dissapointed that i didnt make it. So i have spent the arvo thinking of routes for the next one.

    1. Start in Brisbane somewhere like milton, Head up Mount Nebo and then back down Mount Glorius, Then we can head north Past the dams up to kilcoy and then come home via mount mee.


    Now like i said only ideas. Please give me your input if you like them or not. PLease add more or change mine if you can add stuff to them. If we start the ball rolling now we can do one after everyone gets back safe from Christmas Holidays.

        My only input would be that the drive is:

        1. "Broken up" into a number of stages that aren't too long. This gives a good chance for social interaction and not just driving (as fun as that is).
        2. The overall drive needs to keep to a reasonable distance.
        3 The "organiser" should do a dry run to get input on the "real world" time it takes to complete the course.
        4. A good meal in a nice/interesting location should be a definite part of any drive day recipe.

        The locations listed in options one and two are great. I do wonder if the course is too long though????? I can't be certain as I've not driven them myself.

        As far as timing is concerned (and everyone will have their input on this) I'd be looking to any time from Feburary onwards. I think for most a gap of 3 to 4 months between organised drives keeps it all interesting and fresh and saves the "local organiser" from rushing any of the details.

            yeah the nebo run would be awesome. Went over nebo/glorious with vwvortex cruise like 5months ago. Awesome roads and then after glorious lots of long straight roads (180kmh+ last time )

              Route 1

              Thanks for the Feed Back. Well route 1 which everyone seems to be leaning towards is roughly 225km long which for me is fine but whats everyone else think as some of you will have to travel some distance to get there.

              As for it being broken up thats easy. there are plenty of available stops on the way. And wwhen i do the dry run ill find somewhere nice for lunch.

              As for dates well im happy for Feburary. Pick a date 4, 11, 18, 25.

              Keep the input coming.

                      s

                      i've had a sticker on the car since april.
                      Nabbed them from Loon,gave a few away.

                      JUST GO AND GET YOU OWN STYLE MADE LESS HALSE.

                      ROCKLEA markets on sunday guy there will make em on the spot for you.
                      in the color you want, and a style to suit your car,and as long as it says vw watercooled australia they'll know where to look.
                      Cruise # 1 is the better of the two
                      Cheers Dave
