Lars,

There are so many great runs on the north side of Brisbane. Up over Mt Glorious, down the other side to the Splityard Creek Rd. Southsiders go left and home via Fernvale, northsiders go right and home via Somerset Dam, Kilcoy and Woodford. I've taken quite a liking to the run through Dayboro and over Mt Mee.

The club has a few day runs coming up between now and Christmas. The magazine this week should have some details.

Cheers,

Brent

Lars,

Not sure about a 2l GTV in your area. Julian Lord lives out near Lakeside Raceway and he has about four 75 Twinsparks and an Alfetta GT 1.8. Peter Lawrence is at Warner and he has a nice GTV 6, among other cars. I'll dig through the old memory banks and see if I can place anyone out your way with a GTV.

I'll post a note when I'm heading out for a run in my 75.

Cheers,

Brent

Lars,

I have an 81 GTV 2L at Wavell Heights. If your over 25, insurance, you can have a run up the Gateway.

Send me a private message.

I'm also from North Brisbane but my 2.0 GTV isn't road legal. It would be intereting to see what a stock GTV went like as I haven't ~really~ driven one - heck, haven't driven mine yet, either! Like Brent said, though, there are some awesome drives around. You could always go to an RACQ branch and pick up one of their local area maps - that will help give you some more ideas!

Hey Lars,being an ex Brizneelander, my favourite short run was north on the Bruce Hwy to Caboolture then off towards Woodford, Turn left at the pub and head to Mt.Mee, after Ocean View the descent is quite challenging.This will bring you out at Dayboro where you can go back through Petrie or head to Samford and do the Highvale to Glorious and Nebo thing, just watch out for old bill in the bowl between Nebo & Glorious, not only will you receive an invitation to the next Policemans ball but also a lecture on how many have gone off the side due to lack of grip and ability. Most of all, Have fun mate!
