So, I was chatting with a workmate about this run, and he had a warning for us - a few months ago he got done for crossing a double line while overtaking on Mt Mee. The trick was the cops were driving an old unmarked corolla at about 30km/h on the mountain, and radioed a stationary officer further up the road to do the pull-over every time they were overtaken in frustration. Just something to be wary of if we hit traffic.

And I agree with you in that regard, but not everyone feels the same way so I felt it appropriate to share. And whether or not you believe the police would entrap people to generate revenue, its patently true that unmarked cars are used and will radio any misbehaviour forward, no matter what speed they were doing at the time.

Unfortunately i won't be able to make it tonight. Had surgery on my foot yesterday and don't think crutches fit too well in a zzw30. Enjoy the drive and I'll see about making December when I am back on the roads.

John it's a spyder!!! You only need ONE foot lol

I agree, awesome run.

First time on an mr2 night run and enjoyed it heaps, inspired me to take the long, long way home after.

Thanks everyone.

What a massive turnout for the MR2 Owners club qld november night run. With the warm queensland evening weather really turning it on and allowing the stars to shine bright on the night where we gathered up at Narangba village.
 
Meetup point was ideal with lots of room for everyone to have a chin wag about their pride and joy. With our belly filled with ribbs, handburgers and various dilectable pizzas from narangba village pizza we briefed our group and turned our wheels towards our adventure for the night. Twisting through the mount mee turns made it all the more special as we weaved our way through to the secluded mountain lookout. we filled the car park to the brim. Back down into carseldine through some more twisties and it was as exciting sitting in the car park after finishing the run with a bit of a buzz going on.
 
Special thanks go to Joel and Wil for completing the crucial pre course recon, which makes it a legitimate run for the clubs use on the night. We want to thank danny for the use of the channel 16 UHF radios for without them it would make it ever more so difficult to orchestrate communications.

ford xr6 turbo - soaked up the curves and hung with the aw11's through the corners, great driving.
a red 4age corolla - still a toyota at heart just with the engine in the wrong position for the club, but we'll still have you. 4age for life.
 
I didn't catch up with everyone but the spirit of the group was great to see.
Thanks to everyone who attended keeping with the directions from the club members and making us proud on the night and not losing anyone over a cliff or on any roundabouts.
 
The next event is the christmas party on the 11th December. Keep your eyes on the faceballs and posts for the details and directions. 
 
Ben.
