April MR2 Qld club run - 24/04/16 Roll Call

For the April run the club will be heading east and tackling the Misty Mountain Hop.  Think relaxed tunes and cruising with the glass / roof tops down.  
 
 
Meeting point & time will be 9:30am at the PLANETARIUM CAR PARK (base of mount cootha) for a 10am departure at Mount Cootha.
 
   - Starting the first hop will be our starting point at Mount Cootha with its short but effective hillclimb ring road and fantastic views of greater Brisbane.
   - Second hop is through South Brisbane and over to Mount Gravatt lookout for a retrospective view utilising its new 40 car car park.  We will be able to then squint to see further east through to mount cotton while spying where we have just come through over the lavish view of Brisbane.
   - Third hop is then on and through the redlands where we will take in some of the sweeping roads leading to sirromet vineyard, manly, old cleveland light house, redland bay hotel and then onto the daisy hill koala centre.
   - Officially our final destination will be the koala centre. The optional next part of the run will be Beenleigh showgrounds to attend the monthly downshift meet which then runs from 3pm into the late afternoon and evening. It is anzac day the next day so attendance to the second part of the day with the downshift meet will of course be completely optional. 
 
The club welcomes new and old members to attend and we hope to see a good turnout of AW11's and Spyder's to join in to get some great group shots at these picturesque locations.

    The missus and I are keen. Haven't come to any events since O'Reilly's so would be nice to tag along
    Especially keen on the Koala centre, hope we can stay there for a while and play with the little tree rats cuties!
    Car is in horrid condition so don't know if I'll stick around for the photos

     A big thanks to Ben and Co. for taking the trouble to organise and conduct the very relaxed and enjoyable outing yesterday.  Much appreciated.  Good to see so many participating.  Oh the HOWL of the 2GR was OK too !!
    Cheers  Doug.

    Hey guys and gals,
     
    Thanks for the kind words guys.... just a really big thank you for every ones efforts to turn up, hang out, talk swaps and swap ideas and experience. The day ended up with fantastic weather, great company and more than what we bargained for it would seem with twisty roads, idealic lookouts, utes doing burnouts in front of us, traffic lights, koalas and the infamous first round about. Harry, i am truly sorry you went right instead of left... 
     
    WOW with the new faces and cars coming far distances to make the day more complete. Past Ipswich, up from the southern end of the Gold Coast, down from almost the sunshine coast... really impressed. I'm sure there are some great photos of the day floating around.... 
     
    We are getting into some really great modification territory with 1MZ's, 20 valve 4Age's, 2Gr's and 2ZZ's all on show after being stuffed into the modest MR2 chassis's. Half the battle from what it seems is to keep the cars on the road smoke and ding free. Kudos to all that made the trek. You are awesome in keeping the marque alive.....
     
    Already thinking about the next cruise so stay tuned for next months details. 
     
    Ben.

    lol yeah that full lap of the Toowong roundabout gave me the slip - strange way to go left!  Nevermind, at least I wasn't being tailgated by a red P plater anymore...
    I'll stick to track days - can't take wrong turns there ;)
