I've been waiting for PCQ to phone me. Maybe they will be planning a separate display for the front engine transaxle cars. Out west somewhere.

Jason E Posted 21May, 2018 Report Share Posted 21May, 2018 I can give it a miss. I think if you were there early it would be ok as the city doesn't really get busy until after 9 but I can easily give it a pass for good driving time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian in buddina Posted 21May, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 21May, 2018 Gentlemen There is lots of "Secure" parking very nearby & at a reasonable cost for a couple hours when booked on line. The Mecure Hotel, which is about 200 meters from Reddacliff Place cost $13, but will need to be booked on line. https://imgur.com/gallery/QFgcdUp The issue it seems will be getting into Brisbane for @bear924 as I know he has a long drive just to get started. I'm about 1.5 hours to get in but don't mind a very early start. Your welcome to stay at my place Friday night for the shorter drive in. But bring your own duct tape. Anyone else who lives out in WoopWoop? @Port 911 what your plan for meeting up? We haven't discussed our route south yet, but what is the quickest escape route out of town. Once we sort this out we can start discussing twisty route details and a lunch stop. We could book a hotel room for Friday night, get Free parking and discuss the finer points of P car culture.

bear924 Posted 22May, 2018 Report Share Posted 22May, 2018 I'm about 3 hours from Brisbane. I can leave early as required. What time are we thinking of departing Brisbane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need a local to suggest the quickest way out of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear, you can stay at my place Friday night - just off the Warrego at Barellan Point... Deciding the route south is the priority - all else stems from that - so how about it, Brian?

Rob Posted 2June, 2018 Report Share Posted 2June, 2018 The time has come The Walrus said To talk of many things… Of meeting time - and where to meet - and leaving time And how to go - avoiding plod – and double demerit stings But having fun – with no dirt roads – or muddy grime To hurt our pristine wings But lots of lovely curves To show our steeds’ finesse So how about it FEPPS’ers Let’s nail a route!

Rob Posted 2June, 2018 Report Share Posted 2June, 2018 I vote for: https://goo.gl/maps/yik3Z73EDy52 because: more km, less traffic, less visited, haven't been to some of that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troubleshooter Posted 2June, 2018 Report Share Posted 2June, 2018 Have never failed to see a copcar on the Advancetown to Crystal Creek stretch. And always traffic as Rob said (plenty of 80 zones as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gents just be cautious of the road quality on Clarence way (Bodwina etc). When on google, jump on the road with the little man on a few spots, doest look that flash. Now the road from Tentafield to Casino was one of the best I did a few years back (sydney to brisname) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian in buddina Posted 2June, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 2June, 2018 @bear924 as you are coming from the furthest; at what time & where would you suggest to meet up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear924 Posted 2June, 2018 Report Share Posted 2June, 2018 How does 10am at Beaudesert sound to everyone? Gives me a departure time of 6:30ish. or, if you wanted to go Tenterfield to Casio we could meet at Warwick at 10am (or 11 if that's better for Brian) Looking very forward to the drive !!

Now the road from Tentafield to Casino was one of the best I did a few years back (sydney to brisname) Thanks for that, looks a lot like some of the Lions Loop road, some caution required. On the plus side, probably not too heavily travelled... 6 minutes ago, bear924 said: How does 10am at Beaudesert sound to everyone?
