Thanks for reminding me stoli :D

Thanks for reminding me the other day L&L.

Wildcard (aka D.G.W.) is in town as some of you might know. We are going to go for a short cruise down to the Gold Coast to meet up with L&L. Wildcard is a modest sort of guy, but he is keen to show off his new 'zaust.

We are thinking one day after Christmas, before New Year.

Perhaps meet on BNE northside, meet any south-siders on the way if any, then head to gold coast meet L&L and crew for lunch somewhere, then go for a drive thought the hinterland.

Any preferences for a day? I am off work until the 5th, so any day suits me.

Cheers,
Hymee.

I'm free 28, 29, 30 Dec.

I'm in if the time is right. I prefer weekends or public holidays as I'm working through the Christmas period.

sco

Hmmmm

Sounds like we may have 4 RX8 Muskeeters on the drive to the hinterlands , GREAT.

How does Sunday 28th sound then guys?

28th sounds spot on for me.

OK - Sunday the 28th it is. This should suit all respondands, as sco said the weekend would be OK.

Since me and Wildcard are near ech other, we might meet up first, then drive to Harries Diner to meet with Sco, and anyone else who is interested.

Target meeting time will be 9:15am at Harries Diner, Newmarket Road, Windsor. We will leave no later than 9:30am

Then we will drive to the Gold Coast to meet L&L somewhere.

L&L - Can you post a suitable meeting place somewhere on the coast, and a time?

We can play it by ear after that. A cruise and then lunch, perhaps?

Cheers,
Hymee.

Don't forget UHF radios are great for cruises. Handhelds are a good, cheap option. Better see if y'all can get one now in the post Christmas sales if you don't have one already. Well worth it!

Thanks for making our drive day at springbrook memorable , hopefully we will do it again soon .

Spoke to our favourite waitress from springbrook , she is looking forward to getting some driving lessons in my rx8. ha.ha.ha..

Michael

L&L,

I anticipate that you are going to drive her home.

Cheers,
Hymee

L&L the quote above your avatar says it all!

Some great roads out there behind the Gold Coast! I'm amazed how well this car handles around the curves, even on some pretty rough sections of road. Never doubted it for a second, even if the DSC was working its arse off a couple of times! :D :D

Wildcard

As i havent got your youtfull looks , charm and top gun abilities , i must adapt and improvise , as the MOSSAD motto say ", By way of deception we shall conquer ".

I will let you know how my test drive to spring brook goes i will post relevant results soon i hope .

I had a great time ON OUR RELATIVELY SHORT BUT EXCITING DRIVE.


All the best .

Michael

Yes - it was a great drive. True to the meaning of "Spirited Driving".

I will have to put that route down as one to revisit.

There was one sharp crest where I was following Wildcard and he just dropped away in front of me. Cool.

Cheers,
Hymee.

PS - Thanks to L&L for suggesting the intermediate segment of the trip!

Sorry guys... been unwell thus offline. Wildcard... if you're in Brisbane make sure you do the run between Mt Nebo and Mt Glorius in your '8... it is awesome.

sco

sco,

I've done the Samford - Mt Glorious - Kilcoy - Mt Mee loop twice now. How awesome is this car through the twisties!

What was your quickest lap time? Hehehe.

Hymee, I did the Nerang - Beechmont road twice yesterday while visiting a friend. A great little section of road made even better when on two seperate occasions I had people pull over and let me past straight away when I suddenly appeared in their rear-vision mirror from out of nowhere.
