Had a great day definitely the best one so far. Only about 2 min of a light sprinkle and then all sun.
Thanks Walter and Kathy for creating ANOTHER great run, I don't know how you do it, if it was my job every meet would be the same drive... To McDonald's or something like that...

Well I had a really great day, and it sure as hell was better than schoolies! most fun Ive had all year by far.

Starting off my mate wasn't really interested but as the day progressed he started liking it more, and man he can drive ;)
I probably learnt more about my car and car control today than in my whole 11 months driving experience, and I started to get my heel-toe downshifts and rev matching down pat.
there was a few moments of understeer where I was quite concerned...

Also broke the car pretty good. When we hit a massive bump one of the wheel weights broke loose and the whole way home the front wheel was shaking really bad. Also had to battle with epic bump steer from the car being so low
looks like she's getting higher with new wheels and tires ;)

Sort of annoying that there was so many cyclists along the way through tambo but still good. anyway here's some snaps I took while in the passengers seat along with some panorama's

Thanks everyone for an awesome day! I hope I didnt hold anyone up too much being the only L plater :P

Looking foward to the next one!

(Grant is a true male; he doesn't need directions!! hehehe).
Hogan Road was brilliant ending to the day.
That's alright Steve, But what about the sheep who followed me?
Great day anyway, Stopped off at my sister's place at Oxenford for a coffee. Then drove into a hailstorm on Centenary Highway. Thankfully no damage to car, But it looks like it snowed in my backyard.Thanks once again to Walter & Kathy for another successful day...cheers.

Awesome day thanks all. Got the mr2 home but got stuck on the side of the hwy in my DD with golfball hail coming down. Amazingly it only has a couple of tiny dints. Cracked the windscreen good n proper though. Shannons will have to by me a new one.

I reckon that was one of the best Club cruises we've held. Great roads and good turn up. Thanks Kathy & Walter for searching out roads and writing up the "easy to follow" run sheets (Grant is a true male; he doesn't need directions!! hehehe).
Hogan Road was brilliant ending to the day.
I made it home just in time. Had only put the car in garage about 2 minutes before heavens opened up and hail the size of ice cubes pelted down for about 10 minutes. I hope everyone made it home safe and sound and didn't get caught by storm/hail.
cheers

EVERYONE - apologies for a mistake on the Run Sheet. I was just doing a final check of the weather (which is going to be FINE!!) and printing out some extra copies of the Run Sheet, and I discovered that I had a Page 4 which didn't make sense.
Unfortunately the Cut and Paste Fairy didn't do their job, and I hadn't removed a page from a previous Run.
So - please discard page 4 and don't be concerned that we are suddenly going somewhere else after we complete the Run into the Tweed area. The Run Manager will have some copies of the Run Sheet available at the start point in the morning.
The Cut and Paste Fairy will not get their bonus this year.

FYI also - "ptsteve 93" is driving down from Kingaroy tonight and staying in our guest quarters - I have take down the sign saying "Fido" and put up a "Welcome MR2 Owner" one - and he reports that although Togoolawah was very wet the road through Fernvale is good. It seems these storms are moving through at quite a pace so we're looking forward to a great Run tomorrow.

See you at the Start Point for a 9.30sharp departure.

Eric,
no problems at all and happy to accommodate this. Just remind me in the morning when we met (for the first time)." />

Just realised that before we cross the border I will have to change drivers with my mate, as otherwise I will be limited to 80km/h and fall behind (NSW speed restrictions for L platers) :((

is it possible to make a stop before we cross?
