That's the one!

Also can't beleive you guys use heiffer creek road as a play ground. Last time I was there it was scary as f**k. It was a goat track with semis on the wrong side of the road every second corner. Must have fixed it up a bit since then.

I keep trying to push the "there are big mofo trucks on this road" speech.... But it is a nice road just stay on your side.

I've almost been cleaned up probley 2 years ago on it

Probably not great for a convoy, some of the passes are hairy enough passing one car. A mate got bullied into a guard rail by a passing semi a few years back, the pric just kept going

Ok, how about you skirts go cruise along the warrego while us men go along gatton-clifton? :P

Single lane bumpy country roads are my fav...love powering along them sitting right in the middle :)

If your down that way again tell me ill come for a strop with you lol

The best driving roads as far as corners and scenery go are always quite dangerous....they are usual ancient and are also too expensive to build and maintain properly to begin with. Some of the cuts that they did into the stone faces on that road are pretty impressive...surprising that they actually did it at all :/

But I reckon that road combined with flagstone for the return is the BEST around here by far!

For sure Nick, I reckon Chris would be keen too....he's at expert level thru the twisties ;)

Was talking to the old man the other day - he reckons there're some other scenic locations too that he goes along for sunday bike rides. Will have to get him to spill the beans

This adds an extra level of danger given that it is frequented by trucks! Where as other drivers roads are not commonly used by psychotic truckies.

Esk - Hampton Road used to be awesome, not sure what it is like now since they did some upgrades. I think they have possibly straightened it out a lot

All of Toowoomba is quite heavily frequented by trucks - every day life for us Toowoomba-ites ;) Some of the roads / lanes in town can be an even tighter squeeze with trucks than that Heifer creek run hey...craziness!

It's alright man, you don't have to go along it Bunta haha....I'm happy to go along wherever, this one that we're talking about is just a new personal fav of mine that I'd rather go thru with 1 or 2 others as opposed to a whole cruise creeping along at snail pace

Hmm may ditch the auto one meet up and come to this, as well it cost substantially less and as my windows stuck down I think the chances of my car getting stolen are leas

Haha yeh the only one you have to worry about stealing your car is me now ;-)

Meet at HCP on Sunday at 11:30? Have some form of route planned

That sounds mighty fine to me! Show ya my new black shoes eh? She's practically a different car :wub:

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
