TOOWOOMBA CRUISE

SUNDAY 15TH JUNE 2008

WHAT

Travel from Burpengary to The Spit at Sommerset Dam via Kilcoy. Continue on through Esk and a brief pit stop at Ravensbourne National Park. Then on to Toowoomba for lunch at Picnic Point.

Then back to Brissie via the Warrego Highway.

CRUISE COMMENCES AT BP CABOOLTURE TRAVEL CENTRE (NORTH BOUND) - 8:00 AM

Picked here as it gives everyone a chance to stock up on goodies and also now that the Daguilar Highway has been extended to the Bruce Highway we can avoid going through Caboolture and getting split up.

If you're coming from the north you'll have to go past the BP and "chuck a u-turn" at the next exit (Morayfield)

WHAT TO BRING

- car

- warm clothes

- occupants (optional)

- warm clothes

- drinks/morning tea if desired

- lunch (BYO if desired)

- uhf radio

- warm clothes

- full tank of fuel

- a pack of chewies as there's a fair bit of high altitude cruising

oh and don’t forget the warm clothes

THE FINE PRINT

In order for every body to have a good time, a few rules have been implemented. Failure to abide by these rules will ensure you are not invited to future events held by FordXR6Turbo.com.

The reasons for these rules are:

  • Safety - We don't want to put any of our members, and the general public in any danger.
  • Public Perception - We do not want the Ford XR6 Turbo community to face the same ridicule and stereotypes other car communities face.

The rules are simple:

  • Obey all laws whilst on the cruise; this means no speeding, no overtaking over double lines etc... Any breaches will be reported to the local police.
  • There is a designated cruise leader who will lead the way and set the correct pace for all cruise members.
  • Use the Buddy system; always make sure you can see the car behind you. This will give people behind you an indication on where to turn and to make sure nobody gets lost or left behind.
  • CB Radios; if you don't have one, follow the maps and directions given out. If you do have one, please limit chatter during the twisty parts of the cruise. This will allow the cruise leader to relay information about road conditions, upcoming obstacles, etc. efficiently.
  • By attending this cruise you agree not to hold FordXR6Turbo.com, its Administrators, Moderators, Cruise Organisers, or Owners responsible/liable for any damage and/or grief sustained (simply; if you stuff up it's your fault, not ours).

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask before the cruise.

If you click on view results first you lose your vote - I'll add it in though :3gears:

Tab,

Winternats is on Queen's birthday weekend. just to let you know :fool:

Yeah I noticed that but it shouldn't affect us traffic wise - and attendance wise the poll will take care of that. The V8's are also on that weekend as well.

Just watch out for the roadworks as you take the right hander at the very top of the range to descend fom Toowooba. Came around the corner a few weeks ago , big farking ditch across the road, big bang with the wheel turned = farked alignment.

Also highly recommend a Big Dads pie , one on James Street near Gedes Street :fool: . There are a 4 of em on the main drag between Woomba and Bris Vegas. Have one in each, huge variety. They even stock Farmers Union Iced Coffee to wash it all down :3gears:
