I'm goin from the sunny coast however I am thinking I might tag onto the back of the cruise as it goes past me in caloundra rather than drive to bne then back the way I came and then out to Somerset  :)

What to the fellow Sunny Coasters think :(

Gives me chance to sleep in and save fuel  :lol:

Last year the cruise didn't follow the Bruce Hwy north to the Sunshine Coast - we headed north west from Aspley and came through the hinterland (out Woodford-Maleny way) to Lake Baroon... this year we aren't going as far north, and as far as I'm aware, we're still heading north west from Aspley (not via Bruce Hwy), so I'm not quite sure where in Caloundra we are going to pass you... ;)

I heard from one of my co-workers who is a member of FORDLASER.COM that there is a cruise out to Somerset on the same day for them. Might not hurt to hit them up for some donations also. I mean, I know they are not Skylines but they do have wallets and it is for the kids.

You are one hundred percent correct!

I agree with 85urk, that way we all start together and that way we dont get lost, left behind etc. if the main meet departure time is 10 then lets say meet at moby vics at 9 for a 9:10-9:15 depart which should allow us plenty of time to compensate for traffic. What u sunny coasters think

Ok, local update!

It turns out that I forgot I have my anniversary weekend getaway with Katrina that same weekend.

So I guess I'll see you all there then hey!

I'm trying to convince her that we can leave early on sunday morning and meet up at the dam. I may have to crew up with the Goldcoast boys on this one.

Ok.. i think i was lost there...where's Moby Vic ?

how about all of the Sunny coasters meeting up at BP in Caboolture and all head down to Aspley instead..? wouldn't that be easier ? ( for me anyway :D )

say be there by 9am for the 9:15 depature ?

Those asking for a map of the route, yes I normally do this, and yes I will be. Please give me a chance to do so.

We will be heading out this weekend to do a scouting run and will hopefully (time permitting) have an itinery up for you on Sunday night.

I agree that the Sunny Coasters should probably just start the cruise from Aspley (c'mon guys, it's a bit of extra fuel and a little less sleep, but it's for the kids! :D ), but I'm cool with meeting up at whatever servo along the way... we'll just need to clarify which servo is which!

(which big one has Maccas/KFC/etc., and has a twin on the other side of the hwy?)

For all you Sunny coast cruisers

I'm for the BP as it has better coffee :):D:):blink:

Plus it has maccas and KFC

Plus better fuel and parking (flat)

How about we all meet there at 9am? or maybe 8.45 if we wanna eat ;) Whats the verdict?

Sounds good to me... B)

sounds like a plan, which BP servo are we meeting at just to be 100% certain.  the moby vic side (heading towards brisbane) or or caboolture/beerwah side (headin towards the sunnycoast)

I would think the one on the east side (heading towards Brissy)...

    • 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.
