i've been thinking, what about down at the port (Bayside) there are heaps of quiet, well lit roads that would have industrial back drops (cranes, factories etc.) I know it's not quite what we're looking for but it's better then nothing. Failing that there are a few fully lit carparks on the UQ campus (st. Lucia) plus we could get some with the big moodlit sandstone building in the background.

Here's a GM of the port cranes, at light they/re all lit up like industrial dinosaurs



I know twinpiston has a list but I'd would be helpful if everyone who is coming could add there name to this list if you can make it on the 14th.

Let's get some of the XR4 there too. Is anyone registered on the XR4 forums, be great to get a good mix of cars. So far we have a WS CL that's been pimped out, my sexy 3-Door Zetec with the Ford 17" alloys and Tenilles hoon auto 5-Door in Vision. Good mix so far! Let's get some WP/WQ models peeps!

So I've decided that the port is to far out of bris vegas (especially for those of oyu coming from woomba) And I know that there are a few multistory carparks at UQ that will be perfect for the photos. SO, here's what I am suggesting.

Meet at the bottom of Mt. Cootha at around 3:30pm, have a spirited drive up/down cootha. Go for a cruise through the city/valley to see who's out and about.

Head to UQ (St. Lucia) just before dark so we can make use of the sunset to get some dramatic lighting.

After photo's cruise somewhere for a bite then possibly to the port if anyone else is keen.

what does everyone think??? Also FI.ES.TA are you coming along with your crazy camera skills???

Sorry to head that mas89. Glad however you're looking at another Fiesta! If you do get a new one be sure to share some pictures.

Have we set a time to meet up yet guys? Has anyone invited any of the XR4 boys or the XR Forums? Let's get a few more than five!!!!

Well with no XR models there we won't be outgunned in a line haha! The five of us it is then. Would have loved to have some more WP/WQ models, still a cracking good car and a great drive. Four MK7 and a MK6. Should still be fun. Say three thirtyish to four then :-)

Ok, I have Andrew from the XR4 forums coming. But with this very good warning........Venue is definitely a good thing - start at Milton, end up at Port of Brisbane/bayside somewhere. HOWEVER...big disclaimer, I wouldn't be running Mt Coot-tha too enthusiastically on a Sunday arvo. I've noticed that this is a particularly good spot for speed cameras/unmarked cars, especially on the weekend...I used to go up there fairly often but now only do it occasionally and with extreme caution. Speed limit is only 50km/h nowadays which is really frustrating. My recommendation would be to do the run backwards from the Bardon side...
