Cool 7 MR2's. And 1 of each, more or less. Looking foward to this weekend.
The BP just off the arterial road is a good meeting place, can be crowded for this reason though.
I say the BP because that exit is probably the easiest way to get there. (for me anyway)
There's a few back street spots on the way from BP as well.

So are we gonna go with the BP meeting spot or has anyone else thought of another spot?

My friend in his skyline is driving along with me. (don't worry he won't park in the middle of us messing up our little collection)

To use a famous quote from the Dad's Army TV show about World War Two - (OK I admit I was there, but probably at my age more like the Boer War) - "don't panic Mr Mannering".
We are having a look at a couple of RV spots because Bustin has said (and I have had it confirmed by others) that the BP gets very crowded.
Groper and I are doing a bit of a recon and I will post the details on Saturday PM once we confirm the location.
However, what I can confirm is that we will be meeting at 7.15am!!! (that's right, so no late parties the night before, or just stay up all night) and we will have a marquee to sit under and some nice Toyota signs so all you might want to think about bringing is chairs to sit on, although there will be some of these also.
Make sure you check the Forum Saturday after 5.00pm for the RV point!

FINAL ARRANGEMENTS
 
I did a very detailed recon of the site this afternoon and have decided that the meeting point will be the Shell Service Station/McDonalds on the western side of the Gateway Motorway at Nudgee. You can get to it either by travelling along the Gateway Motorway towards the Sunshine Coast or from the end of Nudgee Road before Nudgee Road goes onto the Gateway Motorway.
 
I have chosen this RV point because the roads around the show site, which is on the Earnshaw State College oval in Earnshaw Rd (entrance between Patonga St and Approach Rd) are going to be very busy, and approaching the site from Tufnell Rd or Toombull Rd will be very slow. I spoke with the organisers tonight before posting this and they are expecting over 350 cars, and with one narrow gate to go through this may not be pretty.
There is a short back way from the Shell Service Station to the site, and to avoid the congestion on Tufnell Rd and Toombull Rd all you have to do is get on the Gateway Motorway and head north until you reach the RV point.  You can also use Nudgee Rd but I can't see it being as quick as the Gateway.
 
I ruled out other RV locations around Sandgate Rd/Northgate Rd because of the complications of getting into Earnshaw Rd through the Banyo area.
 
So the final arrangements are everyone to the RV point by 7.25am.  We will depart at 7.30am. When we reach the entry gate (right hand turn from Earnshaw Rd) you will be given a registration form which has to be completed and handed in to the registration tent. A gold coin donation to help the school with the upkeep of the grounds would be welcomed. A marquee and Toyota signs are being set up when we get there (we have a support vehcile to carry the marquee and signs) and we have been asked to park in a line about 2.5 meters apart so doors can be opened, cars don't get dinged, etc.
 
If you are late then just come straight to the site. We will leave a couple of spots vacant for stray MR2's but any problems then call my mobile check your PM).
 
See you all at the RV point with your cars gleaming.
