Thought that was pretty funny.......except:

Points:- Lose too many and they take away the priviledge to drive
Money:- But think of how much better it is in your pocket than the governments.
Trick:- Where and when....I COULDN'T AGREE MORE!!!!

Probably not on a cruise where our visibility is so high.
It would be funny if we got pulled over en mass to get breath tested. Would make for a fantastic photo opportunity!

see everyone 2moro!

I now have 2 passengers.
My missus invited a friend along to enjoy the ride.


Waiting for this darn weather to improve, I have been holding back on polish until tonight, not much point doing it earlier when its raining!!

( praying for sunshine)

Route –
1st Leg.
Here we go from Eight Mile Plains to Mt Tamborine. This drive involves a bit of everything, Little bit of Highway, Some cruising and some twisty stuff. Not a bad run providing that there is no traffic. We have found an awesome place for photos along the road that has magnificent views.
2nd Leg
From the top of Mt Tamborine to Natural Bridge. Another nice run. Be careful it is very steep going down the back of Tamborine. Also there are some one way bridges to be aware of. Hopefully another Photo op at Natural Bridge.
3rd Leg
The final run of the cruise is from Natural Bridge to Chinderah. Once again another fantastic drive, Again there are a few very steep descents, and some unexpectedly sharp corners to make this a challenging drive. Before we have fish and chips we are going to have a photo shoot on the riverbank across the road from Eddy's house, about 200m down the road from the fish and chips shop there is a really good spot for it there.

Lunch: - Fish and Chips or hamburgers at Chinderah right near Tweed River.

From here we will disperse as we feel like it and go our separate way home.

I volunteer to be the dag who asks:

What is the exact location within the eight mile plaing area from when we will meet and leave. I'm sure it's been said before but I can't be bothered looking through the old posts. What road is it on and is there a nearest cross road. With that info and my navman I should be seeing you all at 8:30 tomorrow morning.

clean-up

I'm giving everyone notice my car won't be spotless, it's usually pretty clean but i'm not rubbing and spraying another $20 worth of stuff on my car to have it rain tomorrow(as the forcast suggest). I am addressing problem areas only. If I really clean it, it will most certainly rain- but only enough to create oily dirt, which will cling to the stainless lips on my rims and mess up my vr6 lip. 12 hours from now i'll be on my way to fill up. Booyeah.

Cnr of Miles Platting Road and Holmead Rd. There is a map in the first post.

[shaneth]

Just been told by a friend who Has a MPS6 that there is a MPS cruise on tomorrow and that they will be at Natural Arch at a similar time to us. If we are feeling energetic we could take a walk down to the falls its aparently only a couple of hundred metres (but dont quote me on that).


edit - Well guys and gals its now 8.5 hrs to go. I have just finished everyones booklets for the drive. I shall see you all bright and early in the morning

[DaveMack]

Weather at 5:45am

Lookin' good.



Of course ... that could all change pretty quick. But then ... it might just stay nice.

Dave

[Golfer]

It's on guys!!!

Ok guys - today's the day!!!

I'm like a 7-year-old on Christmas eve!!! Rather excited. Eddy and I are leaving down here at about 7am. Car's serviced, tyres are balanced and rotated, everything's lubed and bolted down, the interior's clean and she was given a good polish last night (hoping it won't rain of course), so I can't think of anything else that needs doing...

So that's me guys until 8:30am. I will not have a camera unfortunately, as my digital bit the dust a couple of days ago (only 4 months old) so it's been sent away for warranty claim , but it sounds like there will be plenty of cameras there anyway.

Safe arrivals everyone. I will see you all at 8:30!!!

Cheers!!!
