SEQ CRUISE Queen Mary falls, Mount Lindsay

[CalaisRider]

:)


Hi all.

Thought I would post up another SEQ cruise EOI. Its fairly long distance but certainly has some wonderful roads, locations and scenery.

I thought 23rd November 2008 might allow people enough time to prepare - but am open to change if this doesn't suit. The next most preferrable dat for me would be 7th December...





0830 Depart Gales Maccas

Head toward Willowbank/Warwick

Turnoff the highway at Yomanto

Turn left at T and take the Ipswich Boonah Rd to Peak Crossing

Continue along this rd to Coulson. Then a right turn lollow the signs to Boonah.

From Boonah along the Boonah Rathdowney Rd to Maroon Dam


Maroon Dam (photoshoot)


Back track about 5 k and turn left at Carneys Creek Rd

Right onto Head Rd

Veer left to Spring Creek Rd

Continue through the mountain twisters to Queen Mary Falls


B.B.Q Lunch and yarn at Queen Mary Falls

Take the walk to the falls


Depart the Falls along Spring Creek Rd and heat toward Kilarney

Turn left at T and head along Border Rd

Continue to Legume and turn Left to head along the Mt Lindsay Highway through the mountains to Woodenbong.

Depart Woodenbong and into the tight and twisty stuff to Mt Lindsay; onto Palen Creek;


**** It may be worth taking a “short diversion” along Barney Rd to Barney View – for another photo shoot and to break the journey


Head back to Mt Lindsay Highway and turn left at T to continue the mountain cruise into Rathdowney


Take a break at Rathdowney


From Rathdowney, continue along the Mt Lindsay Highway to Beaudesert


With the stopovers and distance, by my previous experience at it, this is a pretty full day but certainly worth the effort.



End Cruise

Sounds Awesome!!!

I'll definatly have my SS-V by then, although December 7th would be more suitable for me...

Arif

You'd want to hope so. Can't believe it's taking this long

Pete I'm in, sounds good. Let me know if I can help with anything. Maybe we could go bulk in the barbie or something. At this stage I can do either

[DioXidE]

yeah, ffs holden!!! How long does it take to fit a sunroof!!!!!

.

Yeh or we can just chip in with various elements of the Barby. If enough end up being interested/going, I happy to buy a whole Rib Fillet, slice it and provide for the cause (pluse the salt, pepper and tomato sauce too). :)

I'm more than happy with the 7th but will seek a bit more feedback first

Pete

[bonners]

Just let me know what you want to do Pete. I can get a mate to supply high quality meat for about $12/kg.

[microant]

I'm easy what ever day :)

[DioXidE]

is there BBQ's at the park?

[borry]

farkin weddings.... always getting in the way of a good time one way or another!!

Sorry guys, I would be out i reckon, our wedding is the 22nd so that rules out the 23rd unless i can REALLY REALLY sweet talk the mrs.. and if its the 7th, well be in thailand - ping pong show here we come!

spewing as looks like pete has a very very good route nutted out there too!

[DALER]

The 7th would be good for me, that would give my boss enough notice as I have 296 hours of leave up my sleave.

[CalaisRider]

is there BBQ's at the park?


Yeh mate, there are few of em last time I was up that way. I'll bring some wood, firestarters and axe just in case the electric ones are taken.



Need rolls/bread and butter


*** Need some onions - gotta gave onions for a Barby.

*** Someone may be able to put up a Letuce/Tomatos on the day (not that I eat tomatos)

*** Do we want/need sausages as well?


Is there anything else we would need?:1peek:


Suppose just bring a plate and knife and fork too

[DioXidE]

bulk buy those throwaway knife, fork and plastic plate kits...

how about some eggs?

get a list going calaisrider in the first post of what to bring and then we can delegate someone to do that job :)

[mouthy]

My New VE should be here by then!!!:smilesandbanana:

[jmc04]

sounds promising, no doubt will be a good day.

bread we need bread lol

oh and beerz:cheers:

CRUISE DATE - 7th December 2008


Plenty of time to prepare and save the $$$ if need to.:)

[bonners]

Yep, 7th is best

[Carver3]

I could be pretty interested as well, it just depends on the Saturday night as the bit work Xmas party may be the 6th. Would be really good as being a new LS2 owner I am interested in seeing/hearing what can be done to the beast for what sort of bonus...

[j_o_e_l_05]

sounds like a good route, im keen

[CalaisRider]

:)

If you dudes are doing nothing in particular tomorrow I'm going for a run to Morgan Park Sprints, (Bris to Gatton then onto the twisties route to Warwick). Then returning via the Queen Mary falls scenic route home.

I need to go this way to by-pass the Amberly Airshow traffic Jams



All welcome

My phone is 0407 027 647

[CalaisRider]

:)

Umm any more takers?

Is the route too long and demanding for most???


Oh well it already has the key stakeholders attending, so it will be one hell of a run anyways..

[bonners]

maybe for those a little opposed to the length Pete, is there anything in there can be taken out easily without detracting too much from what looks like a good run. I'm easy. Already given notice to the boss (read wife).

[HSV700]

I'll be their and be bring the W427, I have a mate that is getting his black W427 around this time as well and I would be pretty sure that he would be a starter if he has it by this date as well.

http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z262/VC110/W427/P9270024.jpg

[bonners]

Awesome.

We might be the first cruise in the country with dual W427's. That will be cool.

Will definitely have to get the in car video holder I'm looking at now.

If this doesn't get 'em interested Pete.......

[Northy]

I have a car rig setup like they use on Top Gear etc for attaching Cameras to the outside of cars. Here are a few of a TRD Aurion I took last time I was out

[bonners]

That looks good. The one I was looking at wasn't as sophisticated. It was a suction mount to the glass but there could still be some good results.

Man what a Car. I think I'm in love!!!! :) To have one on the cruise would be great, but the possiblity of having two on this cruise - Simply Awesome. :)

Yeh its easy enought to shorten mate simply by heading right and going to Warwick and back down the highway to Brisbane. But to my mind that is so boring compared the original route proposed (which is a real drivers road almost throughout the entire distance).:eyes:

[bonners]

I'm keen for the bigger one so doesn't worry me. Especially if the car is done:goodjob:

[DioXidE]

Keep it the original route guys! I will have my SS-V to cruise in.. Im so excited lol :)

[j_o_e_l_05]

should be a good day out!

[deverson1]

I am keen as well seems like a nice drive in the country :goodjob:
I am new so will be good to meet some people.

[AussieTone]

I am in for sure. Thanks to Adam for drawing my attention to this cruise. That's what you get when you aren't on the forum as often as I used to be in that you miss the vital information.

Have meeting up points and departure times been locked in as yet?

Hopefully I will have my new seats fitted by then and if everything goes according to plans I should have my new shipment of short aerials by then so I will bring a batch along for anyone who wants one at the discounted forum members price rather than the e-bay price.

As I have a memory like a sieve could Adam or Pete (or anyone else for that matter) please send me an e-mail reminding me the week before to aledger@bigpond.net.au

Looks like Pete is the driving force behind this cruise so is there anything I can do to help out with mate prior to the run. If there is, once again just send me an e-mail

Possibly 2 x W427’s on the run sounds pretty interesting as well. Guess us Queenslanders are leading the way yet again.

Does anyone know if our local forum sponsors have been advised of the run and invited along? It would be a good way for those newer members to get to know them and put a face to the names.

Is it advisable to pick up a cheap handheld CB radio when they are advertised on special. If so, is there a particular type that is needed?

Pete, could you please send me the proposed route, timings etc by e-mail so I can have a decent look at where we are off to.

[bonners]

No probs.

Yep Pete is the man to speak to in regards to most of your questions as I have asked them of him also.

[jmc04]

Would be a very good idea as long as enough ppl bring them.... they could stop the group getting split in two... although pete is the one organising this so he shouldnt go to the wrong spot:goodjob: youll neva live it down lol

good to see the effort youve put in pete, aslong as the weather is good itll be a great day

cheerz
john

[bonners]

Yep Radios would be good for chatter as much as anything

Now Pete has told me UHF and 5 watt would be best (right Pete?)

He also said 476 MHz.

My question is if you only got say 2 watt and the this 476MHz number was different would it still be alright. A cb that is 2watt is a lot cheaper than 5 watt that's all

A 2 watt will have a lesser range than the 5 watt, thats all, as long as you dont get to broken up it will do, but if you want to get serious go the 5 watt

My understanding is more watts more range so I will be going the cheaper option which should be fine in a convoy type cruise. After all, if you get seperated and out of CB range I figure you then revert to the mobile phone

Dick Smith has the 5 watt ones (Carindale). Not cheap though... But you get what you pay for like all things.

Yeh mate 2 watt is same as my spare two. They work fine but just a tad short on range if you add mountain terrain and long line of cars.

Its the 1 watt ones that are akin to two jamtins and string imho.


Just make sure its UHF - it will all be a goer once you charge the battery/s

Pete


No probs.

Yep Pete is the man to speak to in regards to most of your questions as I have asked them of him also.


:)
Yeh Tony and I go way back to when VEs were a novel new item and couldn't get bugger all mods for em. Even did the State of Origin Drags together in the new model VEs. Great bloke.

Hey TonY I'm going to Lakeside tomorrow (Saturday 11th October); and also a Dyno Day at BEST Performance on Sunday. Come along to either or both and we can catch up, chew the fat and overview the cruise.

I have done this route 4 times now so it was nothing special to organise; but is a fantastic and challenging run.

Wish I could mate but I am working from 0600 till early afternoon then I intend sucking the colour out of the TV with the Bathurst telecast :)

Are these any good. I don't know what 500 mw of power equates to but they sure are cheap and supposed to have a range of 3 km and have duplex capability (don't remember what that is but was told it is good to have).

[loudyeller]

I'll be keen to go on the cruise, will have to wait till it gets closer to the date to see if Im working..I just got a transfer down the Gold Coast.. Will be good to see what ppl have done to their VE's..

Great mate - the more the merrier.

Today is 23rd October, and the cruise date is 23rd November.

So it's now round figures Four Weeks away.

[bonners]

Pete

Post 17 says the 7th Dec and I have to admit I thought that was what we had agreed on

[AussieTone]

Pete

Post 17 says the 7th Dec and I have to admit I thought that was what we had agreed on

Ditto. I have the 7th in my diary. Has there been a change or is it just a typo

[CalaisRider]

Pete

Post 17 says the 7th Dec and I have to admit I thought that was what we had agreed on



AGGHH DUMBASS ME!!!

Today I thought I would re-visit the thread to check other cruise and moto stuff looming for me, as there is lots on atm. I saw the first date on my first post starting this thread, and assumed that was the date..

SORRY all, Bonners is right as usual

DATE agreed to was 7TH DECEMBER


Hey that works out good for me as I have a camping trip on with Brisbane Commodores that we had to alter because I was committed to this Queen Mary Falls Mt Lindsay run (which I thought was on the weekend of 23rd November - both were seemingly on the same weekend )

Pete

[bonners]

SORRY all, Bonners is right as usual



But of course ;)

Nah, would have had to pull out if it had been changed that's all

[DioXidE]

same,

I cant wait till the 7th!

[AussieTone]

Is there form up places and times for this cruise.

[bonners]

Tony
I'd be keen to work something out from here to go over with you. The first post said meeting at Gailes and I assumed that yiu just made your own way there. Southsiders, we could do a really quick meet at, say, Browns Plains Maccas. Or, even that shopping centre on the corner of Beaudesert Road and Nottingham (Calamvale Central I think) It's a 2 sec drive to the Logan motorway from either of these

[DioXidE]

Just under 4 weeks to go!!! :)

Can we have a recap of the details please, ust for meetups? I like the idea of a meetup on the southside, Brows Plains HJ's Sounds good as there is more parking there :)

[bonners]

Yep, southside is still good idea. I can run from there if you wish

[DioXidE]

7.30 @ browns plains HJ's?

[132OFT]

If I'm not working I'll come along, but not looking too promising at this stage Pete.

[AussieTone]

7.30 @ browns plains HJ's?

What time do we have to be at Gailes. I am fine with whatever the majority of the southside guys decide on. I am at Stretton just off Compton Road so it's only 10 minutes for me.

Is anyone sure of the way off the tollway into Shell Gailes with all the new road works they have done out there.

[Jonny Atlas]

A sickie might be on the cards for me.

[Northy]

A sickie might be on the cards for me.

just be sure not to post it up on facebook....

[Jonny Atlas]

It's okay I've never been on Facebook. In fact I don't even really know what it is.

Tone, no I'm sure (that area is a major cluster f... at the moment). Is that Shell still even there..... Would something at the Goodna exit be more appropriate for everyone to meet. Not sure where, just throwing out ideas.

Sorry re-looked at the start of the thread. Is it still Maccas because is therefore not Goodna Maccas? If that's the case, the exit is still fine. You come out of all the roadwork rubbish and then the exit is on the left.

[DioXidE]

Is the Gailes Maccas the one near goodna? Just after the Caltex?

[bonners]

Arif

Mate, I think it is

2 William street Goodna. See the 'A'. You can see the exit to the right of the pic

http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s212/ZC_74/map.jpg

[zorro]

I'm pretty keen to come guys, dunno if I'll be behind the wheel. If I can get a ride or a driver for the ute I'll be there with bells on

[bonners]

You can ride up front with me if you like but I'm on the Southside to start

[DioXidE]

Hey Ash, as I said on msn theres a seat waiting for you :)

[CalaisRider]

Hey Ash, as I said on msn theres a seat waiting for you :)

My engine is all in bits atm. Bent six valves, broke some valve springs hefty scores on the piston tops - a pistons kissing valves event, . Should be all good by the time this cruise comes around.

Spensive excercise.:eyes:

[bonners]

Well further from what I said above I might as well make it an open invite. I'll be on my lonesome if anyone does want a seat

[AussieTone]

Once the southside meet up is agreed on can someone please PM me the time. I will also have some Bee sting aerials onboard for those chasing them.

[HSV700]

Is their a meet up point for the Northside guys?

Donald

[DioXidE]

Once the southside meet up is agreed on can someone please PM me the time. I will also have some Bee sting aerials onboard for those chasing them.

Put me down for an aerial!

I thought the meet was sorted - 7.30am Browns Plains HJ's

[bonners]

Yep, I'm happy with 7:30

[AussieTone]

Put me down for an aerial!

I thought the meet was sorted - 7.30am Browns Plains HJ's

Fine by me. Just wanted to make sure of the time and venue.

I will be in a Voodoo VE SS Ute so keep an eye out for me please guys. Name is Tony. Hope to have my Son along in my old VE SS Sedan, red with track stripes, name is Scott

Looking forward to catching up with those I know and meeting others.

Also it will be an opportunity for those toying up with which exhaust to go for on their VE as I have the F1 from Mr. Muffler fitted and a MAF tune by Power Torque / Walkinshaw Performance. I am willing to take people for a run in mine to experience the combination if you want.

Cheers

Well Tony, I for one would be delighted to hear/feel the difference. I shall be in the bog standard SS-V Sportwagon if I manage to get out of some work party early the previous night.

Even if you don't make it mate I am prepared to meet up somewhere so you can come for a run. Best place would be at Mr Muffler so you can have a run with Brad driving and he can answer any questions you may have. Just let me know which suits you better mate

[bonners]

Mine shall have the F1 on by then also

we are intending to head up the motorway to Goodna aren't we. Just remember the toll that's all

[LDV60]

Guys, looks like a pretty great trip.
Just checking to see if there is anything in the diary already.

[DioXidE]

Mine shall have the F1 on by then also

we are intending to head up the motorway to Goodna aren't we. Just remember the toll that's all

Yep up the motorway, Just a small toll, or etoll for me!!! :)

Im so excited :)

Is there BBQ's where we are going to stop for lunch?

[jmc04]

yeah lookin foward to the cruise, especially if the trend continues for fuel prices :)

also is anyone else still going to the sprints on sat 29th at QR.

cheerz

Hey, John was that you I saw this morning up at Acacia Ridge

I might be able to meet Brad on Thursday 20th

[DioXidE]

Hey, John was that you I saw this morning up at Acacia Ridge



Yep, I have spoken to my mate and have organised the meat.

So are we bringing our own snags or what?

[bonners]

Arif, I had originally told Pete I could get an awesome deal on meat for everyone so offered to do that. If we are still keen on a couple of people getting essentials and then everyone paying then it will be all good. If everyone would rather bring their own. That's cool also. I'll volunteer to be one of the meat flipprs on the barbie

[AussieTone]

I might be able to meet Brad on Thursday 20th

Mate contact him and sort a time out. He knows my schedule pretty well. Normaly mid morning to just after lunch work best for me as I start work just before 1500. If you can't make it between those times Brad can always borrow my Ute on the way to work but as I said talk to him about it first and lock in a time
Cheers

Yeh Adam, that's a real nice offer. You get the meat.

I'll bring plenty of onions and coupla loaves of Bread and Rolls. Plus some firewood in case the electric B.B.Q aren't working or taken.


Umm what else do we need, anyone up for bringing stuff along to share.


Man this time I'm bringing a plate and knife and fork, I forgot that last time and was crappy. And the obligatory drinks (BYO)

Bella

Savo
Turtle
V6VE
my98vt


Including me it seems about 15 cars coming to date. Should be a fun run....

Pete

[bonners]

so you reckon maybe 20-25 people

[AussieTone]

Is there anything else that needs to be bought for the BBQ. I am prepared to pick something up if needed. Also, how much per head do you think it will cost for the lunch.

I can't do any heavy lifting etc due to my back but am willing to cremate some tucker on the BBQ if required.

I can't believe that at my age I am actually excited about going for a cruise. It sounds like it will be a great day and it will be good to put faces to names. It will also a great opportunity for those who are not validated to do so.

I assume just about everyone will have their own digital camera along for the day but do we have a 'Gun' photographer coming to take some great group shots. I am in the 'put it in auto, point and shoot' category of photographer but I am sure there are some skilled camera drivers coming for the day. Anyone attending who wants to announce their claim to fame with the camera :)

[HSV700]

I am coming and my mate has got his Black W427 so we should be cruising down together. Silver & Black W427's.

[DioXidE]

*puts hand up for camera duties*

I was the camera guy last cruise so, I'll do it again this cruise :-)

2.5 weeks to go :-)

[Northy]

I will also be bringing some photographic toys.

[bonners]

It looks like we're cooks Tone

For catering purposes I'd rekken so as some are aparently two and three up. Unlike me and my love for driving with no passengers to worry about or make conversation with.

I rekken if people bring their own salad and garnishing type food would be good, as its hard to carry that sorta stuff in bulk.

I'm really looking forward to this one now... Fantastic:)

Yep, me too. My wife said she couldn't think of anything worst. I'll be in my element all day

Yep, I agree.

I've been looking forward to this since our last cruise and another was suggested

Hey ayone prepared to bring some eggs and a kilo of bacon or so to top off a great Barbie. They aint sepensive!!!!

A fold up chair would be a mandatory to bring along with such a big group.

SAME WITH AN ESKY TO CARRY DRINKS AND PERSONAL GARNISHES THAT YOU LIKE ON b.b.q EVENTS


Please make sure your fuel tanks are full prior to departure as there are not that many servos along the way!!!!

On another note, we are down to 15 days to go!!!!!

CRUISE IS ON

7th DECEMBER 2008

Pete

[CBH Senator]

Guys how often do you have these types of SEQ cruises?
I'm super keen to come and see/hear a bunch of LS123's.

Unfortunately I don't get mine till Aug/Sept but I'm interested in seeing some of the mods and chatting to you knowledgable types about the effects on driveability etc.

Have a great day, see you next year when I can join in.

[CroXtreme]

ahh, i dont think i will come on the 7th, im dropping my car off at a panel shop on 1st of december to fix my hail demage and that will take a week or more. damn.

[VEGTS]

Hey all.Will be keen to come along again. I hope pt & harrop get their shit together & get my blower pullys sorted by then. Ive got the new vcm/harrop fuel system in & havnt been able to get any advantage yet due to belt slip on the harrop blower :vpo:.

[IR8]

Hiya.... Qld crew!!

Cruze time nearly here again, cool to catchup again plus new crew! Still a bit unsure of my schedule around that time, but fingers crossed.... could be an early start for a Noosa boy

Hi Pete (Calais)....
So to clarify meeting point is Goodna Macca's (suburb yes? near what st? for navman)..on Ipswich motorway... Dec 7th 7.30am....correct
If am able to cruze and want to eat just bring myself some BBQ food too (& couple cold roadies..lol):nyuk:

[DioXidE]

As far as Im aware, 7.30am is the pre meetup at Browns Plains HJs on Browns Plains rd for us southsiders. The Goodna Maccas meetup is at 8.30am.

[zorro]

Any northsiders or sunny coast people wanting to meet up somewhere on the northside and then head to the goodna maccas let us know and we can organise a meetup point.

[HSV700]

How about Aspley Hyper Market?

[LDV60]

Aspley sounds good.
What time?

[zorro]

Aspley Hyperhole is a good meetup point, got the BP across the road too if anyone needs to fuel up. Say meet up there at around 7:45 to give us ample time to get to Goodna Maccas, will hang around till 8am just incase anyone is running late. I'll PM my number to anyone if they want it.

[CroXtreme]

Hey guys i think Ford is looking at this forum. I seen a ford club come out of maccas at the same time listed here and on the old date. 23rd. Damn so many FPV's! haha.
think the front page should be updated all the time.

[CalaisRider]

I'll probably be at the maccas meeting point at about 8am so I can get a coffee and bacon egg burger.


The go as far as I have it is that at 0830 we Depart GOODNA Maccas. I don't think that bit has changed. I thought that would be an ok time if people had a fair ways to travel to get there.


The below is the link to Goodna Maccas

Sorry dudes I don't know how to update the front page of any other posts for that matter

I would think we need to leave by 7.45 minutes to get to Goodna before 8.30.

Why not meet at 7.15-7.30 for a 7.45 get away?

Here is the bigger blow up of the spot

Australian LS1 and Holden Forums - View Single Post - SEQ CRUISE Queen Mary falls, Mount Lindsay (http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showpost.php?p=1372371&postcount=60)

Also, can we just got a better understanding of number of people. We were talking 25 last week, but that number seems to be almost reached in cars alone and there are a number having 1 or more passengers.

We really need to know for catering reasons. I have sorted out 4kg of A-Grade beef but we kind of need to know what else is being bought. Would people mind pm me and telling me what their willing to bring and I will post it as a list so we all know what and who is bringing

Cheers

I'll probably have a passenger. I can bring along an eski and some drinks or food. Just let us know.

[Northy]

Sounds more like a freight train - wouldn't it be great if we could catch a photo or two of all these cars in a line on the road. Reken the convoy would stretch a fair ways.:)

Pete

[AussieTone]

Pete

I know we are on an LS1 forum but to come along do you need a LS1, LS2, L76, L98, LS3, W427 etc etc.

The reason I ask is I have a mate with a V8 VL who may be interested in coming along if he is welcome. Think I know what your answer will be but as you are organising the cruise I see it as your baby and thought I would ask you.

Cheers mate

PS. Are we short on anything on the catering side of things. I'll bring a few BBQ tools but is there anything else that needs to be picked up

[zorro]

had a minter VK on the last warrick run, very tidy indeed.

Nah Tony any and all Commodores and Variants are welcome. Its just a fun day... A few V6 cars are comin too which I rekken is great.

Bring your tools of cooking trade and all will be good. Wouldn't mind someone/anyone bringing some niblies such as chips, twisties, cornchips and a dip or two though.

I'm bringing enough wood for a bon fire, plus shitloads of bread and rolls and butter, plus onions. People really do need to bring their own drinks, salad stuff and garnished though. Knife and fork would probably be prudent too.

Thanks for the offer and support mate. I have never been on a cruise with so many cars - so bear with me on the day

Pete

[bonners]

Pete
Let me know if there is anything else you want from me.

I have got the meat ordered but the list seems to keep growing. So, I have 4kg, of beef but wondered if it was worth getting a thing of snags or do you reckon that's enough?

If anyone is looking for a UHF still, I picked this up for $76 delivered.

[calcal1990]

Hey guys i'm new to the forum so it will be good to go for a cruise and get to know some of you. My mate will probably be coming but not to sure if he will come with me or bring his ss. Also i was gonna get a 4 pack of uhf's so if anyone wants to borrow 1 they are welcome.

Callum

go and get aerial from new mazda hatch fits right on and is slick,and to top it all off it get good reception.

Awesome Callum, I will add you to the list, when you know if your mate is bringing his car canya let me know.

The contact and safety of all is paramount to me - hence the UHF

if my car isnt fixed by then i can bring my 1995 hyundai then? lol :P ahahha jks

Awesome Callum. Canya just let me know when you know if your mate is bringing his car or not

My reason for emphasis on UHF radios is that of "safety" for all coming along on the day - things do break, and things do go wrong, and people do get lost.

Adam I rekken some snags wouldn't go astray as some prefer snags to steaks anyways. Hmm its probable that we will need two B.B.Qs going to cater for this lot :goodjob:

Yeh the list is certainly growing every day, I think its at 27 cars atm (I will post the latest update this coming Sunday). Gawwwwwwwwwwwd help any Ford that crosses our path on the day LOL.

Pete

[bonners]

Pete I think we need to have a cutoff date for people saying yes. Otherwise it might start getting out of hand

[CalaisRider]

Pete I think we need to have a cutoff date for people saying yes. Otherwise it might start getting out of hand

Okays mate. I understand.

This size group is all new to me too, and I cruise SEQ almost every Sunday.


ATTENTION

THE CUT OFF DATE FOR NOMIATION FOR THIS CRUISES/EVENT IS:

SUNDAY 30TH NOVEMBER 2008 - This coming Sunday.


It would be prudent to make up your mind and let me know if your coming before its too late!!! All are certainly welcome to come, but we need definative numbers.

Pete

[AussieTone]

mate forget the Beesting
go and get aerial from new mazda hatch fits right on and is slick,and to top it all off it get good reception.

I think there are different styles and manufacturers of the 'bee sting' around. I have sold over 150 of them through e-bay and the forum. I'll have some with me on the day so if anyone wants one you will be catered for. I import mine from Germany and have not had any negative feedback from customers re the reception.

I did a bit of a trial before I started testing them and when I drive from Brisbane to the Gold Coast I loose the Brisbane FM channel only a couple of km's sooner with the bee sting than I did with the OEM whip aerial and that is near Nerang. I also have no problems no the odd time I drive into the city.

Personally, I don't think the reception from the OEM aerial is that good in the first place. I think the bee stings I sell are on a par with the factory aerial but at least they look great.

Anyway, the choice is yours but they will be available on the day to anyone from the forum for $25 in either black chrome or aluminium type finish. If anyone wants to read my feedback from people who have bought them off me via e-bay do a search on e-bay for the user name of sinbad215

Looking forward to meeting those of you coming that I have not already met. Let's just hope for some decent weather and some good photo opportunities.

Also, a big thanks to Pete for making this day happen for us. Maybe we should take it in turns (those of us with a bit of spare time) and organise 1 cruise a month. What do you guys think about that? I am sure that most of us know of a favorite bit of road somewhere.

I was also thinking it would be a good idea to swap mobile numbers and e-mail addresses for future get togethers. If you don't want to pass those details on that would be no big issue. Will anyone have a laptop computer with them to create a list? I was thinking having headings like User name, real name, e-mail address, mobile number & suburb you live in. That would give us a data base which would make it easier to let people know of any upcoming events. I don't have a laptop but can bring along some paper & pen etc if no one has a laptop. Once again, what do you guys think of the idea?

Cheers

[bonners]

I can stick my laptop in if you like

I think some bangers will probably go down a treat with everything else that is organised.

I think the guys who have spent money on bringing food for the rest of us should get together and work out the total spent. Then it is a simple matter of dividing the combined total by the number attending and we have so much per head.

I am dead set against guys having to put their hand in their own pocket for the benefit of the rest of us. You guys need to be reimbursed for the money you spent (same doesn't apply for your speeding fines Pete :rofl:).

Everyone else agree with that?

Is that a computer or a long legged blonde :) I could make use of either :smilesandbanana:

[bonners]

:rofl: Yeah me too. Unfortunately my computer mate

As for the food stuff I appreciate your comments. My cost is starting to range in about the $3 a head. Maybe an honour tin next to the food.

[calcal1990]

Hey pete
Yer my mate is bringing his car, he just got a cai and maffless tune so he is keen to take it for a nice long drive.




I think the guys who have spent money on bringing food for the rest of us should get together and work out the total spent. Then it is a simple matter of dividing the combined total by the number attending and we have so much per head.

I am dead set against guys having to put their hand in their own pocket for the benefit of the rest of us. You guys need to be reimbursed for the money you spent (same doesn't apply for your speeding fines Pete :rofl:).

Everyone else agree with that?



Yer could not agree more. Also is there anything more that needs to be taken?

[deverson1]

I think some bangers will probably go down a treat with everything else that is organised.

Totaly agree more than happy to chip in just let us know of cost please (so I have some cash).
Thanks Daniel

[RXO_SS]

Hey guys, not sure if it will happen but if I have my new beast by next weekend i will be there too.

[IR8]

Spewn'n seems no go for me!!:bawl:The previously unpredictable work arrangements now are right on the cruze date.....aaargh! Damn! Really great turn out of cars coming as well!..
See what happens closer to time, as my clients my change dates all the time, Happy cruzn guys if I don't make it!!

:)
No probs mate, things often change close to time. There will be another coming along soon.

I'm surprised more haven't had other commitments arise as it often happens. Round figures atm it's 25 cars coming. Hope the weather stays good.


I have no idea what to charge for the food as abovementioned threads - any suggestions. My end I'm not that worried about. Just seeking some feedback.




Looking forward to meeting those of you coming that I have not already met. Let's just hope for some decent weather and some good photo opportunities.

Also, a big thanks to Pete for making this day happen for us. Maybe we should take it in turns (those of us with a bit of spare time) and organise 1 cruise a month. What do you guys think about that? I am sure that most of us know of a favorite bit of road somewhere.

I was also thinking it would be a good idea to swap mobile numbers and e-mail addresses for future get togethers. If you don't want to pass those details on that would be no big issue. Will anyone have a laptop computer with them to create a list? I was thinking having headings like User name, real name, e-mail address, mobile number & suburb you live in. That would give us a data base which would make it easier to let people know of any upcoming events. I don't have a laptop but can bring along some paper & pen etc if no one has a laptop. Once again, what do you guys think of the idea?

Cheers

Heyy Tony

I'd be real happy with the above cycling of regular cruises/event/activities and also the database of key contacts.

.

[bonners]

Meat is $12/kg and I have 6kg. I started with 4 but the numbers have grown and I need to make sure you are all fed. I would have thought between $5 and $10 would be the figure but I suspect it will be closer to $5.

[zorro]

I'll grab a couple of slabs of coke etc and bring an eski along so dont worry about drinks fellas.......


anyone object to having a beer with the bbq? legal limits of course.

[Jonny Atlas]

I'm aloud out to play that weekend, so you can add me to the list.
Hopefully the weather will be fine.

Fawwk that's good of you!!!!:goodjob:

No dramas about the beer mate as long as folk realise everything on this day is at their own risk. This is just a social outing and whatever happens happens.

Just a reminder that 26 cars hooning is "not" what I want to see!!!

Police will probably have already identified this cruise, as people tell me they are on this forum. Dunno if its true or not though.

.

Done Jonny - I have you down as a goer - looks like your number 27 confirmed. I'll post the full list this coming Sunday night.

[zorro]

when you behave and have legal cars what worries do we have. I drink golds when being social so keep to my 2 with food and laughing.

yeah will get a mix of softdrinks

[HSV,_I_GOT_ONE]

......and have legal cars what worries do we have.....
What forum are you looking at? :confused:

[CalaisRider]

What forum are you looking at? :confused:

:eyes:
I won't have the $$ to get my tune re-done by the day, but even with all the head, springs and valve work undertaken recently, the ECU seems to be sorting itself out to be going ok now (gawd it was grumpy and lumpy when I first picked it up), hence it should be safe to run on the cruise.

[bonners]

It's looking like my 'mods' aren't going to be done by the cruise. :bawl: It appears there were some manufacturing issues.

[VEGTS]

I hope my blower pulleys turn up from harrop before the weekend. I dont know how much longer this loose belt is going to last. The gts is a bit loud at the moment as well , hopefully get all sorted next week.

[HOTSV8]

I may be coming with the new clubby ........... just need to check rosters .

Any need for a little gas/hotrocks BBQ for onion or such?


Sounds like a great idea, bring it along.:)

I was thinking today that the last thing we need is heavy downpour of rain like yesterday happening on, or even the day before the cruise.

There are a few culverts where the road crosses the creek/river a few times (no dramas to drive), but does go underwater in times of heavy rain. The water subsides reasonably quickly though, hence will just have to see what happens closer to time and on the day.

With the various cancellations and additions, the number going appears to be 28 cars. I will post the listing tonight around 7pm and everyone can check that I have it right.

TONY - I will write Brad up as a Passenger to you.

Pete

Ok this is how the final listing came up.

One double up of Damo - so its 30 cars in total


Sounds more like a freight train - wouldn't it be great if we could catch a photo or two of all these cars in a line on the road. Reken the convoy would stretch a fair ways.

:goodjob:


I will see what I can do about getting a map copy of the cruise route, but given the distances it could be a tad difficult to get on a 1 pager, but I will try my best. Cruise Route notes are on the original post on this thread.


PS:
Seems I have more engine, power, sorst or drivetrain issues happening - dunno what it is exactly...: ( I do know the car has been given a pretty sedate time since I got it back, so hopefully nothing major and will be fixed by the cruise day).


Pete

32. 5litrevl + 3 guests - sweet - - Sorry mate I missed your RSVP

Just be a bit patient with the Old Fart Calais Man on the day. I have never ever been on a cruise with this many cars and people so its all sorta new and exciting' yet a tad scarey, if ya know what I mean. I was sorta anticipated 5-10 tops LOL. But hey, thanks to everyone for making this another mile stone and a very special event to me.

HI EVERYONE - THE LIST ABOVE WILL BE THE CUTOFF

As it is atm I'm not real sure how we are going to park all these cars at the Queen Mary Falls section.

There is an area of shop car parking adjoining and behind Goodna Maccas in William street, which may be more conducive to meeting/parking the cars at the meeting point. Maccas gets pretty crowded Sunday Mornings.

I will try and post a diagram of the area I mean.

[bonners]

Pete

Where on here mate. The 'A' is Maccas

http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s212/ZC_74/map.jpg

[DioXidE]

Make that 2 Black VE SSV M6's :)

Make that 3 Black VE SSV M6's :)

[bonners]

See, it is the best colour ;)

Well good news. Car is booked in for the mods. Ready to go for the weekend.

:yahoo: :yahoo:

[Northy]

Not trying to be a stick in the mud but has anyone looked at the weather forcast for the weekend? as it dosent look good....

[bonners]

Yeah, big strom Sat arv. mmmm. At least falls will be running nicely. Just a bit more sedate on the run until things dry out.

[Vulture]

Was going to wash the GTS on Saturday. Maybe not now. Otherwise, we should be fine.

[Northy]

I was more worried about the Strong Thunderstorms on sunday....

http://www.weather.com.au/qld/brisbane

[jmc04]

Am a bit poor atm, can i put my name down to borrow a UHF.
So is it $5 or $10 a head for the feed?
should be a good day lets hope for weather like today.

LATEST UPDATE - Refresher


DATE = 7th December 2008


MAIN MEETING / DEPARTURE POINT
The Shopping Centre Car Park directly adjoining the rear/back car park of Goodna Maccas. Off William St Goodna

Approx 8am for 8.30 departures


See Photo Below – Green bordered area of the photo is now the the main meeting point rather than Maccas itself, due to size of group and space to accomodate all cars coming


http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x5/CalaisRider/Goodna.jpg





DEPART GOODNA

8.30 am


I will leave it to others to organise any other pre-meeting point locations and times in order to “get to” Goodna by approx 8am.


Given such large attendance (which is fantastic), there will be 3-4 people who will be key contacts/coordinators to run front, middle and rear of the pack in order to ensure radio contact is maintained and ensure no-one gets lost, or that the cruise takes care of people who may have mechanical difficulty along the way.


Please bring a UHF radio if you have one, or can beg/borrow/steal same.


As long as the weather holds well, the Cruise Route remains the same as on Page One / Post One of this thread. If you use Google Map and follow the route notes on page one, you will find that it’s reasonably easy to navigate.

I am still endeavouring to create copies of the cruise route to handout to everyone at the Gales meeting point.

I look forward to seeing you all out and about on the day.:)


Below is a photo of me and the CalaisRider Car

Sure looks like it's going to be one hell of a cruise...I'm spewing I can't make this one...oh well, next time...Have fun boys!!:driving:

[Vulture]

Reconsidering as it is a very long trip for me from Kingaroy and back. Not sure if I'll be up for that much driving after the work Christmas party is all...

[AndrewW]

Is it too late to put my name down for the cruise? Damn work getting in the way of my forum surfing ....

I'm 80% certain I can come, and I'm happy to fill in the gaps for bread/drinks etc for the BBQ lunch if someone tells me what we need.

edit: just read the middle pages and realised the cutoff was the 30th. I'd still love to come if possible, but understand if it's too late.

[bonners]

Andrew, the reason we put a cut off was there were starting to get too many cars (can't believe I'm saying that). More from a point of view of trying to keep people together but we were also putting on a feed.

I believe Vulture above you is pulling the pin and I would assume Pete would have no probs you filling his spot.

[HOTSV8]

Also , in my experience ( which isnt much ) , you usually find a few dont make it on the day due to unforseen circumstances .

[132OFT]

So what are the mods :confused:

[DioXidE]

I think it's meant to be a surprise......

[CalaisRider]

:)

I've just done myself up a checklist of what I'm bringing


WOOD (full bag) FIRELIGHTERS
AXES x 2

• BREAD and BREAD ROLLS (heaps for all)
• BUTTER
• COOKING OIL
• ONIONS = 2KG cut prior to leaving

• ESKY
• ICE
• DRINKS
• Knife/Fork/Plate/Salt/Pepper


CHAIR

HAT and Sunscreen

UHF RADIOS x 3

SAT PHONE (in case of issues and no normal mobile phone coverage)

MY CAR GROUP LIST – names/numbers

CRUISE ROUTE NOTES

MAP/S

FUEL

WINDSCREEN CLEANER

CAMERA and Spare Battery

RAINCOAT (just in case)

I will run the car through the carwash on Saturday, but inside won't be pretty LOL.


I'm really looking forward to this. Thanks everyone for the support, advice, contribution and team effort. AWESOMME!!!!!!

Yup Andrew is now in.

There has been one other pull out too - so all fine and manageable.

Sort of. No, Tony my F1 was going in, lowered and tuned. However, this seems unlikely as my dealer has decieded to keep hold of my car until they completely happy with everything they had to fix. Gearbox was taken out and the clutch is being inspected. I am led to believe it will be ready for Sunday but my mods now have to wait.:bawl:

Corrent me if i'm wrong but I think it's at Bartons Wooloongabba.

The upside to Bonners car not being modded yet, is that I wont be the only stock SS-V out there on Sunday :):smilesandbanana:

Is there anyone coming on the cruise that has Walkinshaw springs fitted to their VE (preferably Ute). If so, I would love to catch up and if possible go for a short ride with you so I can judge how stiff they are.

I would love to lower my VE Ute slightly but the springs would need to be on the soft side for my back if you know what I mean. Go cart suspension is a no go for me these days.

I have experienced the Lovells in my last VE so anyone with different brands I would like to talk to. Just come up and say G'Day. Another benefit of going on a cruise with this many cars is there are a lot of different combinations of mods which you may have been considering but not seen in the flesh. I suppose on the other hand, the downside is you will probably come home at the end of the day with extra items on your to do mod list :doh:

One big week end coming up for me, my nephew gets married Friday afternoon at Kingscliff, I’m working Saturday night from 2400 to 0300 then the cruise. I am sure Brad will give me a strong elbow into the ribs if I start to nod off :eyes:

[bonners]

Yep, that's the one.

Tony, couldn't agree more. I'd rather this car be fully 100% and right than push them to get it done just so I can get my mods done. It's just unfortunate that they stuffed around for nearly a month before they booked me in and then there was the unfortuante issue at Mr Muffler.

It isn't completely stock. It's running a CAI which I love. Can't wait to see it on the dyno and a before and after.

Look at the end of the day I cant wait for the cruise and will have fun anyway.

:confused:
Yeh and mine is running with two busted Cats and a fawked tune. IMHO as long as the sucker holds out for the day all will be good.

Given the high volume of cars coming will have a pre-requisite of lower speed to preclude incidents (nothing over 250 allowed lol).

PS
I have a contingency route sorted should the rain or creek flows stop us on the original route.

Pete

[microant]

so up to 250 ok I'm down with that

[VEGTS]

The weather people are predicting stupidly hot conditions tomorrow - Saturday.

Scattered showers and possible late afternoon thunderstorm Sunday (going by past guesses that could mean anything LOL).

Oh well, just a case of wait and see. I will be going anyways. I have an alternate route sorted should the creeks be high between the Dam and QM Falls on the day (which I don't think is likely).


PS

PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN MAPS AND COPY/PRINT THE CRUISE ROUTE NOTES.

I was unable to get the maps copied and stuff as I had previously planned to - Sincerely Sorry!!!:1peek:


Pete

[DioXidE]

Cruising tomorrow!!!!! Can't wait!

[HSV700]

We are only going to have one W427 tomorrow, my mate is way behind with work with all the rain and it having to work both today and tomorrow to keep ahead.

I would say looking at the forecast the weather should be much the same as most of this week, fine in the morning until late in the day when their could be a storm or two.

See you all their in the morning.

Donald

[Carver3]

Well have some plates and such. The bacon, couple of little BBQ/gas things (nothing for the gas BBQ like a pan though-the tray is still up in Dysart), will be bring water and such with ice/chilly bin etc

Rain after 1800 will be fine....

[AndrewW]

was reading back through the thread trying to work out what I should bring for the BBQ, looks like I'll bring some bags of chips etc, give us something to eat while we wait for the BBQ :)

[zorro]

Northsiders, dont forget meetup at Aspley Hypermarket @ 7:15!!!!

I have my car sitting outside tonight getting a wash from the rain.

I'm all set and ready; bag of wood, fire, axe, fire starter stuff, cooking oil, butter, salt and pepper, bread rolls and two loaves of bread pluds a surprise desert (fruit), Sat Phone and three portable radios - fawk that chore of cutting up 4kg of onions though, I did manage it in the end.

Chair and slip, slop, slap stuff.

I am bringin a few extra knives and forks and plates - but not many in relation to the size of the cruise group

Anyone got some b.b.q utensils that they can bring along - my boot is getting pretty full??

All Hail SEQ - LOL

Man my first sighting of that W427 beast will be good enough for me. Sad that both can't come but **it happens


Just remember that my Ve is a pretty sick puppy atm, hence will be pretty conservative. If someone else wants to lead, thats fine by me.

Pete

[microant]

I dont mind leading but if we get lost its not my fault :)

[Carver3]

I have a set given to me from finishing a CHPP. Never used (so almost matches the Wagon) and I will bring them.

I have:

Pack of plastic plates/knives/forks/napkins
1 kg Primo Middle bacon (stuff that basic shit-it looked like fat)
10 litres iced water
Remaining ice in chilly bin
Gas single burner hot plate
Frying pan for gas burner (use for onion?)
'Son of Hibachi' hot-rock grill
Blankie
Thinging about sun umbrella
Battery pack/compressor thingie
Sportwagon needing some modes
Sad-ass Kiwi SOH


Should be good. Shall see peeps at the Mac's on the way to Ipwich!

[bonners]

Meat is done and heaps of snags

Chair, camera, video camera, Radio, etc etc etc

I hope the rain stays away for awhile. Bartons did a full detail on my car and it look smick(except for some new marks - will show). All new bulbs are in. Am kind of rekindling my love for this car.

See you in the morning

[fx160]

whishing i was able to make it , the movie beter be worth it

kev

[Jonny Atlas]

I have the old red shitbox all cleaned up and ready to go.
I've got my barbie tongs out and already.
Look forward to talking some car crap, only if anyone is up for it.

[CalaisRider]

Geese that was a storm and a half at my place last night, kept waking me up.

Oh well seems like its past now and hopefully a rain free day ahead.

See yas all at Goodna next to/behind Maccas

Yes she was a good one.

Just looked at the radar and it all looks aok for today.

[HOTSV8]

Is there a car wash ( car lovers or similar ) near macca's ?

[bonners]

yeah there is. It's a bit further up the service road (if I remember correctly)

[HOTSV8]

Cheers . I am leaving here in 10 minutes so will see you all about 8:00 Qld time .

Mick

[bonners]

CYA soon Mick

[DioXidE]

Fark how hot is it at crazy clarks???!!!!!

[LDV60]

Nice work guys.
Good cruise.
Hope no one is too sun burnt.
Nice collection of cars today.

[OOL51]

Can I ask how long the cruise went for as I'm thinking of doing that run with a few mates and was wondering how long it took?

[CroXtreme]

Car wash is right next to maccas and the service station, its in between them 2.

i drove pass crazy clark and maccas at 9am and i saw some pretty good holdens :) nice work guys :)

[AndrewW]

Nice work guys.
Hope no one is too sun burnt.


I look like a freaking betroot.

I really should have got off my lazy arse and gone back to the car to get my hat.

Between the sun and the inferno that was the BBQ, I'm well and truly toasted.

Was a great day though.

How badly does Mount Lindsey Road need a new surface between Legume and Woodenbong :o ??

And I hope nobody got done by the cops in Beaudesert?
