| I'll be down that way for a couple of weeks visiting family in Toowoomba. If there is anything happening, or even a gathering to say hello, I would love to pop in and put some faces to names. I'll be bringing the Soarer down this time too, not the work car. |

| Either way. I don't really know Brissy too well as it has changed so much since I lived there. |

| Ok, Why don't we have a cruise out to Toowoomba. meet up with you guys out there?? Make it the sunday the 30th September. (following weekend is Bathurst) Ray, if you know of a nice pub, or somewhere to grab lunch maybe, or a park and have a BBQ or something. I don't know T ' ba at all so open to suggestions at your end. Google maps shows a 1:45 trip time from Yatala, so I'll suggest a Yatala BP as a southsiders meet point. Someone Northside can suggest a northsiders meet point. Then everyone can meet up somewhere out near Ipswich and cruise over to T ' ba from there. I'll propose a 9.30 meetup at Yatala, Depart at 10. Then an Ipswich somewhere meet up around 10:45 and head west with a plan to arrive at T ' ba around noonish. If someone knows a Service station or something on the Warrego Hwy near Ipswich let us know. Discuss here and final plan to be made this week. |

| Logical meetup is is anywhere after the M5 joins the M2 at Goodna. So if anyone knows a easy meetup point after there then spill it. Or we might get lucky and just meet on the freeway at the merge. |

| In regards to pubs or meeting spots, I have no idea. I haven't lived there for over 10 years, so I am not sure what is there any more. The old places we used to do car meets at are probably long gone. I'm not a pub person, so I wouldn't really know any of them anyway. |

| Also, the BP in Gatton is probably one of the cheapest petrol stations outside Brissy. Then it is just a quick squirt up the mountain to Toowoomba |
