Anyone keen for a road trip along the 'Plenty Highway' (weather permitting) let me know.

Excited at the prospect of both.

He's just bailing Laner as he knows it was his shout! He's single and has lots of disposable income unlike us happily married and broke folk! LOL

Well I spoke to the cafe today.

"No worries Matt that would be great.Bring it on. We’ll have a table ready and waiting!Wish we could reserve carparks too !!"

Looks like they are keen to have us along.

Fingers crossed for a good turnout and fine cooler weather.

OK getting a really good group together. List of confirmed attendees are:

Towmaster Car
Muzzza No car
Wazza Car (Wazz Ive invited Ron F as well)
Schipps Car
HP1050 Car
Laner Car
Trevor W Car
Cobra1 Car
Bod Car
750HP car
Donunder Car
DC7531 Car
(I've also invited Merv Hyde in a Porker and Iian Kippen from Bissel Paint n Panel from Noosa in a Cobra)

I have a mate up here who's senior with Channel 9 Sunny Coast and Sunshine Coast Daily and he reckons if I can get at least the guys listed above they will come out and do a story on Sunny Coast Snakes in Summer bla bla so we might get some attention.

I'll wait till early next week before I confirm with him but it could turn out to be a great morning of coffee n cars and evening watching you all on TV LOL

Let me know f anyone else wants to join in the banter and BS.

All good...

I've got e-mails to send out tonight anyway for this weekend's breakfast,and also info on our new website being built....so I'll send a separate one for this get together.

I'll work it out,so that we arrive at Ettamogah around 7-00a.m.

I wonder how many guys can convince the other halves, that this run would be something "Special"to do as a couple for Valentine's day??

I know mine will be enjoying her "sleep in and a quite day without me" .....as her Valentines day special gift.

She'll appreciate my thoughtfulness..lol

Thanks Wazz. Mervs a scratching. Apparently there's a Classic Car Show on at the Apollonian hotel at Boreen point that day. I'm chasing up some info in case its worth it for anyone interested to do a run up there after our CNC but not able to get any info on that as yet.

Argh, I was just talking to Dan Bowden about Sundays breaky and he was quite keen to bring this ole girl along. Ron Thorpes as raced at the "farm".

Sadly he has a club show to do on Sunday so dates and times clash but he's keen to come along to the next one! Kinda cool I reckon.

Brilliant day yesterday...

Many Thanks Matty for making this happen.

Bit of an early start...I was up at 4-30 a.m...

But nothing like Mick Schipper ...ON THE ROAD at 3-30 a.m. to drive down from Bundaberg.

Best time of the day...crisp air...little traffic....and blue skies... Really nice run.

Great group of people, and some top cars to check out.
Great venue...looks like we'll be back there as often as possible.









The Sun had some bite in it by the time I got back home at 1-30p.m.....but a a great 440 klm. "quick" run.



I've put a few pictures on the following link.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ro7hbo4mi...VlSu3Np6a?dl=0


The pictures include....( and here comes the Advert )......the first sighting of Neil McKenzie's BEAUTIFUL black Absolute Pace P427, recently registered in Brisbane.

He's done a great job of polishing the gelcoat body...I actually thought he must have decided to paint it...a real credit to him.





AND...also the first run for another Queensland AP...
Chris Lane's great looking Blue and White combo




Good to see new blood in the club...and some new cars making their debut.

Thanks again Matty ( SpookyPT) for arranging a top day out.

Cheers,
Warren

Great PICS Wazza.

Feedback from Benny the owner of the Bulli Café was "Awesome mate, the staff and customers loved it too!! Come back again soon!!!"

Feedback from Iain Curry Motoring Reporter Sunshine Coast Daily was "Hi mate, I was there with the family, got some great pics. Fantastic show! The 458 looked nice too, but not a patch on some of those Cobras. Will do a write up for the paper for next Saturday, will call u for an interview next week when suits you. Cheers! Iain "

Some iPhone pics:
The Datto ready to lift her skirt. All dressed up with somewhere to go.


The northerners lining up waiting for our Southern Cousins..


The Café. We sorta took over!


Really pleased that everyone had a great run. I think the owner of the Bulli Café is keen for us to call it our Sunny Coast haunt. Im OK with that.
Everyone was super on time and really friendly. Everyones cars looked awesome and looked bloody impressive. The AP Cars (OK Wazza they can get a mention) looked awesome in fact it was only Towy's Rat Rod Cobra and Wazzas car blowing smoke that let the rest of the gleam team down!!

Sunny Coast CNC4 is already in the planning. I'll post some date options soon (April) as well as a link to next Saturdays article.
