Yeah I did run it at the jamboree. It ran like a pig as I had only just
finished it at 12:00 the night before.

>>Last Sunday 3 (yellow) gold coast 1600's ventured out into the hinterland
>>for a pleasant drive around some of the best roads around.
>>Eric in his immaculate 2 door, Arnie (who is new to the coast from
>>Canberra - yep he's the one in the yellow 1600 with the Canberra plates -
>>YAS-26c i think - i was asking about recently) and me driving the yellow
>>peril, with Shane (of the broken front x - member fame) as naviguesser. We
>>were due to meet the Brisbane guys at about 10.30 so we decided to meet
at
>>Eric's at 9am and have a bit of a drive before we met them.. Eric led the
>>way and showed us his local knowledge.. We had a dream run through
>Beechmont
>>and towards Canungra over some truly amazing roads. I'm sure Arnie had a
>>ball and will be back up there soon for some fun. We saw very few other
>cars
>>and only a few bikes so we were able to get stuck into some hard driving..
>>You can drive hard without exceeding the speed limit ( by much anyway) cos
>>the roads just twist and turn continuously. We then waited at a major
>>intersection near Mt Tambourine for the brissie guys to get there..Once
>they
>>did we managed to have a chat and then decided to go for lunch at this
park
>>that only Eric knew about .. There we were, travelling in convoy, - 8 x
>>1600's, one 1200, one sunny and one Subaru with Eric leading the way and
>>well and truly stuck behind a smoky old telstar. The rest of us were
>slowing
>>right down to get a gap ahead and then planting it and screaming up
behind,
>>thru these really good corners.. the only problem was that at one stage I
>>slowed every one down to get a big gap (greedy?) and when we came round
the
>>next corner there was an intersection and no sign of Eric.. The
naviguesser
>>said "turn left" so i did and then I decided we were going the wrong way.
>>bad move!! I did a u turn and everyone followed me Hahaha what a
>>shambles!! We kept driving for a while and then from a series of phone
>calls
>>worked out that the naviguesser was right and I had stuffed up the whole
>>cruise..HAHA Eventually we found the right park and had a good lunch and
>>more chat.. Then we manoeuvred all the 1600's up the gutter and into
>>position for a photo opportunity - well all except one.. Why didn't he
>want
>>to join in anyway?? Oh well it looked great to have all these sweet
>looking
>>1600's together and was worth the little effort.. Then we headed back down
>>the hills towards Oxenford and the Motorway back to Brissie and the Gold
>>Coast.. U wouldn't read about it - we got stuck behind the worlds slowest
>>driver in a Falcon and had a really boring drive back to the Motorway
where
>>Scott decide to leave his mate in Eric's car and just drive off up the
>>Brissie road. So we stopped on the motorway and waited for Scott to u turn
>>at the Dreamworld exit and come back for his passenger.. then it was home
>to
>>watch the Broncos whip the Roosters in the grand Final..
>>A great day and photos to come soon.
>>Thanks to Eric and Scott for organising it.. I reckon we should do a night
>>time run up there soon - less traffic??
>>cheers
