SE QLD Drive Day #2

[shaneth]

It was hard to tell, because everything was shut. There are places at the top of mount glorius. There is a shop at somerset dam. And also pubs at Kilcoy, woodford and dayboro. Now i was also thinking about a sausage sizzle or something like that (did this in the last forum). I will be doing this run again in the next couple of weeks and do some real scouting for it. Any ideas/suggestions?

Bringing own food is a bit of a hassle. Would rather just pay some money and have a nice feed put on for us. The road around Summerset Dam is great fun. There is bound to be a number of good options for the lunch. Certainly does not need to be 5 star but if we're to make the quality of the lunch one of the highlights of the day, we don't want to eat in a "dive" either.

Loving the idea of a SEQ run

I might go with the general concensus and say run #1 is the goer...

However this may have something to do with the fact that i'va done run 2 so many times before i'm kinda over it...

Count me in, if i can get the day off work (i work weekends) but y'all will have to take it easy or there's no way i'll be able to keep up (if alex's vr6 is anything to go by )

Cheers!!!

Hoyhoy.
Well John, you might have to put your foot down a bit. On the first run there was some hoping into it, if you know what I mean.

[Dr Spine]

Now Eddy, I hope that you're not suggesting that the pace of the first drive was too quick (laughing) I was after all at the pointy end. There was some "spirited" driving in a few places. The take home message is that it was brief and only in areas unlikely to attract "unwanted attention". You've got to pick your moment if you know what I mean. If you drive fast all the time you'll soon have no lisence and that wouldn't be too "groooooooovy".

Well boiz, it's just abouts january allready and feb will be around before we know it! so need t start things rolling for all the planners ou there. . . seems like (parhaps/maybe) drive 1 was a fave?! sooooo.......

[shaneth]

Another Option

Next question when in Feb do you wanna go???????

[Dr Spine]

Whatever drive we do I feel that it's important not to spend too much of the day just driving. Any of us could do that anytime we want. Any drive day should be largely built up around the social interaction and getting to know other VW drivers.

My 2 cents worth is not to make the drive too long as we'll end up just rushing to finish the day and won't have enough time to just take our time and relax.

I couldn't agree more mate .

Thats why i said it would be to long. Its more of a drive i would do first before properly suggest it anyway. I dont like going hard on drives or have people follow me on drives i dont know myself. Thats why im comfortable with the 2 i originally suggested.

[shaneth]

Ok its time to pick a date. whats everyone keen on i guess february sometime. Sunday is best for me. Pick a date 4, 11, 18, 25. Not this weekend but the next i will do a proper drive of route no.1 and find somewhere for lunch. Dayboro Pub is always a local for bikes and cars so should have good grub. Can you please PM me if you are keen to come so i can get a rough idea on numbers.

[Golfer]

C'mon guys. Let's do this! I'm gonna take holidays early Feb so i need to know when we're going (and besides i want to have a few mods done b4 then)

To me the 11th sounds good, and dayboro pub could be a prime spot...

Cheers!!!

Ok so im going to start a list of Interested parties and if you wanted to be added then IM me. I just wanted to say that although there are alot of twisty raod in sections it wont be a race so if there are people holding off cause they dont want to be pushing there car to hard dont worry in about 2 weeks time ill do a dry run of the track and find plenty of stopping spots after the twisty sections so that everyone can regroup.
