Ok people, it's around that time again! I've been chatting with a few of you, and there's plenty of interest, so let's work something out...

I'll get this frst post updated to reflect confirmed details, but in the meantime, here's the rough plan:

Early morning - meet at the Gold Coast Coomera BP or Mudgeeraba Shell (someone from Brisbane can work out earlier northern meet points to coincide). We drive south to Byron bay/Murwillumbah (the old raods were a great drive, but I will need to do a recce run to confirm their condition), with a short stop for refreshments and fuel (Byron BP would be a logical choice).

From there, we take some nice back roads North to the Gold Coast (using parts of the route from my first meet: great roads!), and terminate at Southport for a Bbq/chitchat/drinks at GreenGhost's place (thanks Myles!) which has plenty of parking (it's in an industrial estate) in the early afternoon.

Dates will need to be negotiated, and the route/destinations can be altered as required: I know it's a hike for the Brissie folk...

I'm thinking early August, but what do you guys think? It would be really good to have Darrinspencer's car at this one, so I'd like to make it coincide with the completion of his project...

Our last few meets have been pretty good, but have come apart a little at the endpoint: I figure if we have a private property to go to, we're not going to be fighting for bbqs and car spots like we have on the other meets, and since we went North last time, it'll make a nice change... This way, for a small cost per person, we can have food and refreshments ready to go...

Date: locked in by Micah as Sunday the 20th of September, 2009

Time:

  • 8.00am for an 8.20am departure.

Meeting point:

  • Coomera BP service station

Route:

Nothing like some pressure!!

Will be ready by the end of August for the VW Jamboree, so maybe early September for a meet??

I would definately be interested, if its hapnin mid september I can make it. Won't be back in the country till then. I got friends down in mullum and my GF's beetle is being worked on down there so could coincide with it being ready to be picked up.

Would love to make it along anyways-

:-)

Ok: 20/09/09 it is! Mods: please get my post title to reflect this.

I'll need confirmations to include the number of passengers/kids coming with attendees, so we can organise the Bbq and drinks.

    • I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔
    • Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?
    • Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!
    • So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.  
    • Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
