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?

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!

[tommis85]

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

[Captain Natro]

Super sneaky back road that links up heffer and flagy near mama creek isn't bad either

[tommis85]

I think that maaaaaaay be the one I went along to cut the trip short and not have to go all the way thru Gatton as that would have been a 2hr round trip then.

I might have to consult google maps...

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

[tommis85]

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

So how many are coming on Sunday? Great leader do you have a route for us?

[olloSKYLINEollo]

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

[Captain Natro]

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

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

[me_larr]

No plans....can meet at HCP.

What is HCP? Same meeting place?

Better yet, can get to Tbar HQ before Great Leader drives off cos the caldina wont take the course I believe

[tommis85]

HCP is a slightly lesser workshop to ESP ;-)

Yeh where is the great reader? We miss you rong rime!

[olloSKYLINEollo]

Only slightly lesser?

HCP is the same TSO HQ

[tommis85]

Nah HCP is pretty awesome Go there first for any mechanical needs Nick

[Captain Natro]

Only slightly lesser?

HCP is the same TSO HQ

Lies HcP is the workshop, TSo is the meeting area were we converse and discus business matters over quiet drinks and fine speech

[tommis85]

ESP must be the body / paint shop then?

Oh, and come to ESP if you want turbos swapped out
