Brisbane Z Car Club Cruise this Sat!

[Gee]

A few people have asked me about the last Brisbane Z car club cruise and the possibility of another one...here it is!! If you're interested and want to see photos of the last cruise, check my gallery.

The last event had heaps of cars there and it would be great to see even more..

Ballina Beach Breakfast Run – Saturday 12th June

If you enjoyed the success of the “Luv-a-Coffee” run, why not join us for

the next Z Car Club touring assembly.

Time: 7.00am for 7.30am start

From: L Storey Park, Loganlea (off Brisbane /Beenleigh Rd) Map 262 M10

Come and join us for a country road ramble down to the Northern Rivers’

District, through some really pretty country and great touring roads to link

up with our Northern NSW club members and onto Shelly Beach, Ballina, for

Brunch at “Shelly’s on the Beach”. This is a moderately priced venue, right

on the beach. You may even see a migrating hump-back whale! The club will shout you a coffee.

:classic:

Could people interested in coming post a reply?

[Dazza]

Count me in as a definite possibility for the run :classic:

[Gee]

Good to see Dazza!!

Anyone else?? (that was a sneaky way of saying "bump")

[moyest]

Sounds interesting!

But why so early in the morning? I don't think I even know what 7.00am looks like!

Maybe if you're filing past the Gold Coast, I'll join you from there (and sleep in an extra hour?)

I'll phone Mike and check out the details.

THANKS FOR THE POST!

I had planned to take a drive into the hinterland this weekend, on a great road I started to investigate last weekend. I drove in for about an hour, but had't filled my tank when I got the opportunity, then started to run out of gas (and no gas stations in sight!). :stupid:

I took the Beaudesert Road, I think? the "highway" at the start curves past the Mount Tamborine turnoff on your right, the Hinze Dam to your left, and the Springbrook turnoff to your left. Past all of those, and the road starts to get interesting (and very picturesque) through the valley.

I passed a few towns named after Creeks (yup, they were small) and I think I was heading to Mount Warning? before my fuel tank wouldn't let me go any further.

Might be a nice run for the future? Easy approach from Nerang, but just not sure what you get to further up the road??

[Gee]

Aw c'mon.. I live on Chevron Island and I'll be going.

AND I don't have my car in QLD yet so I'll have to go in the $&^#ing Corolla and you still won't stop me!!

Love to see your car some time. Have you seen the really nice Kalahari Tan one getting around?

[moyest]

Yes, I think I've seen that one - fairly large tyres and very dark tinted windows? Not bad at all. I've often seen it around the Broadbeach area. Is he a club member?

How many others will be driving non-Z's tomorrow? If I go, I wanna be in a long line of Z's :classic:

[Gee]

That would be the one:classic: He parks it near JB HiFi every weekday.

There were HEAPS of z's when I went last time, most of which were 240/260's.. If you check my gallery you'll get a fair idea, that said, in most of the shots I couldn't get NEARLY half the cars in! ..and if you join the club there's a dyno night in about 3 weeks (rubs hands).

Simon's car was on the cruise last time too. I don't think I've ever seen so much chrome on a Jap car! Who did your bumpers by the way??

[moyest]

Yup, Simon sure had a chromey engine!

My bumpers were done by the previous owner near Wollongong, just before I bought it. In other words, "nowhere near QLD"!

The bumpers were stripped, over-riders removed, holes patched up... then chromed quite nicely.:classic:

I'm a big fan of chrome on the Z's, and don't much like the ones where people black out the window frames etc. unless the car is white or silver perhaps?

[Gee]

C U on the cruise then.

I'll be in the Corolla:cry: :stupid: :dead:

[260DET]

Corolla?!? That is worse than me not turning up at all. Corolla.:sick:

:classic:

[Alfadog]

Bah, I have a feeling this cruise will be awesome.

For curiosities sake, what kind of pace are the cruises you guys have?

Please make sure to remember the camera!!
