[QUOTE=eestison]i have a VAG-COM cable, i will be moving down to Brisbane (from Mackay) next week...

Mate, are you moving to Brissie to live? Hopefully I can get some golf owners together to go for a good drive and great lunch somewhere in south east Queensland.

[eestison]

yes, i will be living in south central brissy hahaha... sunnybank hills to be precise. i have a new job to go to at archerfield (Caterpillar).

it would be awesome to sort a drive day or similar. i will be fairly busy for the first week or so, settling in - but after that i should be good to go.

keep me posted

[Dr Spine]

Once you're settled in you should take a drive up to Toowoomba (about 1.5 hours) on the edge of the Great Dividing Range. There's some lovely scenery/roads about here. Also some great spots for food/lunch.

[gtimk5]

It would be good to see a QLD run. Lets get the scene active up there. Oh, and with pics too!

[Ditropan]

Wow, QLD seems to have some good places to have a drive. I'll be up in Northern Rivers NSW next week (yes, taking the Jetta from Melbourne, stopping Canberra, Newcastle and Coffs along the way) and will certainly make some time to explore up north.

South East Qld Drive Day

I've got a good mate who's done/planned some great drives for the MR2 club about south Qld. I'll have a chat to him and get some ideas. We'll make it a mix of smooth straight touring as well as a bit of the bendy stuff through some of the mountain ranges.
Will get back to the group with some ideas. I think we have 3 in so far? The more the merrier.

[shaneth]

Count me in

As long as i have my polo by the time you do it ill come for a run (thats if youll let a polo tag along. ). There are plent of awesome spots around SE QLD to drive to. I have organised a few in different forums. Just depends how far everyone is willing to drive.

[eestison]

everyone is welcome, there is no VW model bias afaik

[shaneth]

Thats good to hear. Should start a new thread in the "Clubs, meets and events " section as we have already hijacked this one enough.

[gtimk5]

Hey Shaneth. Get the dealer to lend you a VW for that weekend. I had the demo GTI on a few weekends during my wait. It was black DSG, leather and Zenons. I made sure it went back cleaner than when I got it, thats all

[shaneth]

Hmmm thats a good idea. will see what i can organise.

Make sure you look at the Putty road from Sydney (more presice Windsor) to Singelton in the Hunter Valley. You'll have a blast on it!! Also the old pacific highway from sydney to Gosford is good too Very nice pie shop near Brooklyn on the way as well
