Thanks to everyone so far who has said they are attending. Here's a few more details after the Run Manager and her chauffer completed the second recon for this inaugral night run:
1. Dinner at Harry's Diner (sounds like a very, very old song) is not compulsory at all. Some of us are eating there starting at 6.30pm but provided you arrive by 7.30PM ready to go then it will be fine. This is our first ever night run so there may be some glitches, but as per normal we'll get these sorted out so the next one is better.
2. We will be doing a run briefing prior to the run starting because the traffic lights, etc; will tend to break the group up, so what we have planned is a number of re-grouping points so that everyone can be together for the best parts - like the runs along the river.
3. The route lets us circle the city twice plus a run along the riverside expressway and the cliff top opposite the city with some great points for photos, etc.
4. We want to use UHF radios for comms if we have enough. I have two good hand helds but if you can bring some more along then please do.
5. We are going to provide some small snacks and tea and coffee at the finish point in case the cafes are not open, or they only serve meals at that time of night.
6. Expect the run to be over by 9.15 to 9.30 at the finish point.
7. We will be discussing  the Maclean's Bridge Show plus the RACQ Motorfest and the All Japanese Day raised by Senol during the run.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there.
 
For Eric - welcome to the Run and we are all looking forward to meeting you and your Dad. The "L" plates don't present a problem but you will have to sign the normal indemnity form we have. This is a great group of folks who just love these cars and we try to have as much fun as possible, so I am sure you will fit right in.
 

So sorry to chuck this on you this late but unfortunately my dad cant get away from work till about 9pm, so It looks like I wont be able to do this one, but if the next one is on a saturday/sunday I will try my best to be there!

thanks
 
-Eric

Eric,
 
sorry your Dad can't work out that the first Queensland MR2 Night Run is much more important than that other thing he does - what was that, oh OK, work??   
Don't worry, there are plenty more Runs planned - have a look at the Run Calendar for 2012 at the top of the Queensland part of the Forum and you will see what we are doing.
We alternate between Saturdays and Sundays so everyone gets a chance to come along.
Your Dad and you are always welcome to participate. If you have any questions on the Club just PM either myself or Groper and we will try to answer them for you.
Hope to meet you soon,
 
Regards,
Walter

Danielk,
good to hear from you and looking forward to meeting up tonight.
Walter

Is a run sheet being sent out? Not too important the boss just was asking me for it.

The first MR2 night run in Brisbane is over.
 
I'd like to thank everyone who came, it was a great roll-up, and no doubt Lumix will be sharing his splendid photography with us.
We can't wait to see how the two yellows surrounded by a sea of red and black, and the lone white Adub, will look all parked together at Manly.
The weather was fantastic, the night was warm enough to have the roof off, and the route took in both the city and the coast.
There was some additional excitment towards the end when the Run Manager decided to deviate from the Run Sheet and detour via Tasmania but GPS saved the day very quickly.
Topped off with coffee, chocolate bavarian cheescake, and some excellent conversation at the end of the Run (plus some jokes about engineers) it was a fitting way to end the week.
 
For those folks who couldn't make it you missed a really different Run, but one we will no doubt be doing again.
Thanks again to all who attended and made the night the success it was.
 

Bustin,
that's OK.
We all understand that back in the old days when dinosaurs and huge Yank Tanks roamed the earth you used to Cruise, but cruising is so yesterday and MR2 Runs are much more up to date and very different (and heaps better).    Plus the people who come to Runs are so much more cool.
Sorry you couldn't make the Run but we will have others because it was a real success.
We took a decision last night about the All Japanese Day which I am sure you will be very happy with, so from now on you won't be alone.
Tralfaz
