Re: Next Brissie Cruise	Mon, 23 February 2004 13:30

i think we should start another thread as this one's a bit long in the tooth? but maybe keeping it to destination then dates and i'll put forwards Blakes earlier suggestion as food for thought (maybe the next responder can copy/paste this into a new thread?) route: a few stops in Brissie to collect everyone, a quick blast (with big time gaps between each car!!) around mt cootha to clear out cobwebs, out to Mt Crosby to do a few zero-G hill-crests, thru colleges crossing to the hwy, back up to the start of the ipswich motorway then up the motorway towards willowbank, if it's test-n-tune day then we'll probably loose a few bodies, otherwise on down the hwy to Lake Moogerah for a few hours of picnic-bbq, walking and hopefully swimming. heading home is back up the hwy and motorway, or southern-brissie folks can take a few different country road home via boonah/beaudesert. If some drivers don't want to do a lunch stop, then they should try beaudesert, canungra then oriellys or binna burra. from there its possible to get to BWCP or the spit, or back up via beaudesert to BNE. An alternative no-lunch route is to continue up to cunninghams gap - suitably spaced out - this also requires folks to keep a watchful eye for poliz as they're sometimes unfriendly. There's a few nice walking tracks once you get thru the gap and always a cool change on a hot day. An alternative go-home route is back to Willowbank to smell burning rubber and racing fuel. then back up the motorway, ipswich rd then home. date: maybe a test-n-tune day? or maybe not as it'll kill numbers? does anybody know if they give discounts for groups? or if we rock up at dusk, is there a discount for being late? why lunch?: lets make the day a more social occaision - rather than a bunch of car nerds sitting around looking at other car nerds take photos of other car nerds' cars ... anyway, after a drive or long walk, i think a foody break would be great. volunteers/info needed: good timing estimates for parts of route, info about venues - particularly parking, shade and security, food & drinks wrangler, common radar/cop spots, map dude. behaviour: no panic stops, follow the route and only pull over if: the map/radio says to; you see accident; or some girl flashes her tits (or, if yor a girl or gay-male, some dude waves his wand) at you. this a reasonable start? i'll volunteer as map dude (even if this idea gets shot down) and will donate esky space, soft drinks, bread & vege-burgers. (tho, after march 3 i might be just a passenger for a month or two). btw: my backup suggestions was we hire the warwick racetrack for a day of motorkahna [Report message to a moderator]
