[Qld - SSVC] Toowoomba Drive

Rob

SSVC will be having a drive to Toowoomba on 23rd November.

There will be a meet up at the Westbound BP/Wild Bean Cafe at Blacksoil at 9.30am, next stop will be the Carpark next to the Mcdonalds in Gatton. From here there will be a drive up to Toowoomba via Murphys Creek for a BBQ lunch at the residence of one of the members. You should bring a chair, something to BBQ and something to drink.

Should be a good day, this is a great opportunity to get involved in and help shape a newly formed club.

I have been asked for input so if you have any suggestions for a more suitable meet up point at the Brisbane end or you would like more info about the event or the club please let me know.

Cheers

I want to be there for at least the drive, even if my cars still got undercoat sprayed on the rear 1/4 but have something at 4 that day so will see.

Rob

The email i have suggests that we shall be all finished early afternoon (2ish was my interpretation) as several people will be heading back to Brisbane / Gold Coast / Sunshine Coast.

I see no problem with leaving earlier if need be.

I am in.....regardless of the condition of the V70

Rob

excellent.

Rob

Some very minor changes to the plan.

Greetings everyone,

John and Estelle Dempster have very kindly invited us to their home for the first SSVC Christmas BBQ on Sunday 23 November.

For everyone travelling from Brisbane area, our meeting point is the Caltex Service and Restaurant on the Warrego Highway located on the outbound side of the M2 just before Junction 17 at 10.00 am. Safe parking is available on the left side of the forecourt.

Once assembled, we then continue to McDonalds at Gatton
Central,120/122 Spencer Street, Gatton. (Location chosen for having appropriate street numbers....of course....)

We shall meet John here at 10.45 am and leave shortly after for the drive to Toowoomba via Murphy's Creek Road. This road is well known by John and he shall select a good spot for photo opportunities.

All going well, we should then arrive at No 8 Talinga Street, Toowoomba around midday. Arrangements are that we each bring along our preferred BBQ meat or chicken, chairs and refreshments. Salads are provided. Don't forget that sunblock tho'.....

We also take this opportunity to welcome prospective new members to the Club and to extend the invitation to all members of the 1800/120 Club.

Cheers, Alan

So....that's the Caltex at Blacksoil? Just before the BP?

Rob

Yep, sure is, they moved it a little because there is more parking space available at the Caltex than the BP.

I am so close, but I don't think I can make it vi put the engine back into the car yesterday and replaced loom. But there will be more odds and ends to fix for the week :-(

Rob

There is still plenty of time.. :)

Will be a shame if you can't get there. Really hoping to get a bunch of us there.. It is such a fresh club, it would be nice to get in while it is still being shaped.

I had a good afternoon on the car. It is pretty much back together minus CVs, headlights and a few bits and pieces. I will do my best to make it on Sunday :-)

I had a few hiccups. I damaged my original CV bashing it out, so I will reboot my spare one this week. Also I broke a barb off the fuel pressure regulator manifold - doh, I think I can just bypass one of the vacuum lines though, so shouldnt be too hard to fix.

Rob

=D>

OK, so unless I kill my car between now and then, I am in :-)

The car is almost right (I think), but I havent taken it for a spin yet. My biggest concern is that I have a blinking gearbox arrow on my dash, but the gears are engaging... Hopefully it is just something unplugged, but that is tomorrows project...

Rob

good news.

MikeB

CYA there... B-)
