UPDATED [QLD] GC Meet/BBQ/Cruise - Sunday 14 September

[pu-11-me]

EDIT!!! -


OK, so the plan is for Sunday the 14th at Midday. We will meet at ChipTorque carpark for photos, sussing out each others cars and the like.

At about 1PM we will then head out to Nerang, then to Pindari Hills, to Gold Coast - Springbrook Rd then up to The Woodchoppers Inn, Mudgeeraba where we can go for an "After cruise beer" at the end of the day.

My thoughts are to stop at Pindari Hills as there looks to be an open area here and its about halfway round the circuit. If we feel like pushing on a bit further it may be nicer to stop at Little Nerang Dam but that'll be a decision we make on the day!

Things to bring -

Chairs
50 cents for a 30 cent cone from Maccas
A VR-4 of some description
Perhaps a camera
And a good sense of humour, otherwise you shall be banished from the trip

Correct me if i'm wrong but so far it will be -

Myself
Lee
Brocky
Chris
Benny
Brendon
Taras

Trav - Maybe, depends on working bee turnout!
Kev - Maybe

Hey all!

I'm coming to visit the Gold Coast area in September, and this time i'll even bring my car! (Last time i met the boys i was in the other halfs Mazda )

I'll get up there on the 11th of September and leave on Monday the 15th.

I'll be staying near Tweed but my relies will be in Surfers so i'll be floating that distict.

SOOOOOOOO......... Wanna organise a meet in celebration of my presence?

My thoughts were a BBQ and a cruise somewhere in the GC area on most likely either the Saturday or the Sunday. I'll put up a poll to see whos interested!

Brissie peoples could even come down..... If you have nothing better to do and all!

Also, i'm relying on suggestions from the GC crew as to what to do, where to meet etc because i don't know the place terribly well!

Cheers

I'm keen - no idea where to go - I drive up into the hills perhaps?

I have that portable BBQ from the dyno day so we can use that wherever we decide to stop

 

[pu-11-me]

^^^ Sounds good..... Scenic, appropriate roads for VR-4's, and not far from home!

We might bring a video camera for more OzVR4 YouTube material too!

count me in

 

[pu-11-me]

count me in

Sounds great.... What day?

 

[pu-11-me]

After some map reading, i was thinking maybe for the cruise we could go to -

Out to Nerang then to Pindari Hills, to Springbrook then up to Mudgeeraba where we can go for an "After cruise beer" - from there everyone can then jump on the Pacifiac Motorway to go home!

Does this sound alright? Roads look fun, and it appears to be nice and scenic?

We then need to decide on a meeting point and where to stop for a BBQ?

I'm open to suggestions from the locals too haha

Sunday i think will be the day we do this too..... I have tentativly booked it in the OzVR4 calender

 

[Guest]

Count me in. Im open for either day.

Can you vote for just one?

 

[leebutts]

Nice itinerary! We need to choose a starting point - I don't know my way round Nerang - can anyone suggest a large car park out there?

 

[pu-11-me]

Nerang might not be the best spot to meet maybe, i don't know my way around there at all........

There is a big carpark HERE at Ashmore where the outlet stores are..... We could meet there?

The Central Park Tavern is also there.... Would make a good meeting point as its easy to find, big carpark and of course a pub

11AM as the meeting time?

 

[leebutts]

Another spot we could meet which is easy to find is Carrara Stadium

That car park across the road would be the best spot for pics etc.

[Guest]

Im going to put my vote down for Sunday, that way i can get in and wash her on Saturday. I was so embarrassed at the last Dyno day.

If anyone would like to add to this please let me know and i'll add an edit.

Mods, could you please change the name of this thread to [QLD] GC Meet/BBQ/Cruise - Sunday 14/09/08 at Midday

Cheers!

 

[Guest]

it would be heaps easier if we started at 12 Dawso?

 

[pu-11-me]

Just for you Benny

 

[leebutts]

So I'm bringing the BBQ then?

 

[pu-11-me]

^^^ I think so, unless anyone knows where there is one we could use along the way?

The other thing we could do is have the BBQ before we leave?

But i think it would be best if you planned to bring the BBQ Lee

Cheers
