Gold Coast LR Owners - drinks & dinner Thursday 2nd Feb.

[MickG]

The next Gold Coast Land Rover Owners Club general meeting will be held on Thursday 2nd February 7pm at the Options Tavern, Westfield Helensvale (just off the M1) - MAP HERE (http://gclro.com/images/GCLRO_Map.pdf)

We are a group of Gold Coast based Land Rover fanatics who meet for social get-togethers, half day, full day, weekend trips away, easy exploration and 'oh no way' options.

We cater for all Land Rover's from 1948 Series 1's to the latest Range Rover Vogues, and all classes of 4wd personalities from;
Tame adj. - I'm not scratching my vehicle to
Extreme adj. - woohoo, those dents add character

Running Order: The executive committee meet at 7pm for their meeting with all members and guests welcome to attend. Then we have a few drinks, dinner and a good chat about, you guessed it, our landies... watch some footage of our trips on the plasma screens, laugh at the photos and generally have a great time.

For further information, contact us on:
Phone: 0409 484 361

Hi Quiggers, maybe you can make the next club run, link below. Or our next meeting which is on the 5th Jan.

Aye, Mick

[Quiggers]

Love too, but the Disco is unwell, long trips may be a bit taxing, as i need to do a fair bit of maintenance, bottom rad hose, aircon comp and the bloody power steering is leaking again. Otherwise it's fine. But I'll stay tuned for events in the near future.

Cheers, GQ

Yep, we'll all shout when you buy the first round, seeing as you're the "new kid on the block" https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Hey All,

Stevo

I would like to make a night out of it, what is the go. Do you guys have dinner there at some stage through the meeting or do you usually get there a bit earlier and fit a meal in before the meeting :?:

If some of us want to get a meal on the night it would be good if we can all arrange a time together, just a thought.

Please inform :!:

Hey Craig, we normally have a general meeting covering some club issues and topics, then grab some food and a couple of drinks and have a bit of a chin wag for a while......very sociable night out in anyone's books https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
Look forward to seeing you there and to meeting Stevo as well......and obviously anyone else who turns up that I haven't met yet 8O

Just a quick question, not having been there before, is it easy to locate, or will I need to get my satnav involved https://www.aulro.com/afvb/. i.e. is the tavern visible on the outside of Westfields??

Regards

Stevo

[stevo68]

Thanks mate, look forward to catching up tonight

Stevo

[stevo68]

Thats what I meant to ask, how does one become a fully fledged member?? I mean does it require taking a punch in the arm from other members?? Perhaps a beating in the carpark?? A skills test in my beastie, jumping it over other landies?? https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ Paper,scissors, rocks? A huge donation? Just thought I would ask https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Regards

Stevo

[Outlaw]

just lots and lots of bribes in the form of untraceable cash in small denominations supplied in a black leather dufflebag.. oh and a spin around the block in your dads Bentley :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

or i guess oyu could just fill out a membership form tonight and the correct fee :roll:

[stevo68]

Guess I will stick with the fee and form https://www.aulro.com/afvb/, Im still yet to wrangle a fang in the bentley myself yet, but Im working on it. Now the bribes..........will a "pot" of gold do?

Regards

Stevo

[Grimace]

We normally meet up the stairs in the cordoned off area to the right as you come in. I will be there in a red polo shirt with my collar up! Sometimes there's a rope across the stairs but that is to keep the Jap 4WD clubs etc out https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Aye, Mick

[stevo68]

Thanks mate, see you there,

Hey All,

Great to meet up last night and put faces to profile names and messages. So far ya seem like a decent bunch of people https://www.aulro.com/afvb/. So now that I am a paying member, wheres my GCLRO logo that I can put with my signature?? https://www.aulro.com/afvb/, also my keyring, sticker, holiday away for 2 all expenses paid and umm whatelse was there?? https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ Looking forward to Sunday, just to confirm we are meeting at 11am BP Coomera in the Truck section? Time to get the D3 a little dirty, shame I just bloody detailed it https://www.aulro.com/afvb/,

Regards

Stevo

[Grimace]

I had an orsum night https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ sorry i was abit late peoples :oops:

[Caveman]

Yeah, I enjoyed myself too.....

Was great to meet a few people, have a chat, and watch some footage of you previous trips.

You seem like a good bunch.....but I'll reserve my judgement until after the first trip I attend...and how many dents my disco ends up with https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

See you all on Sunday.

BTW, I still owe you 2 beers Mick. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Cheers

I'm a Scotsman as well, so I wont forget :wink:
But seriously, like I said, you need all the $ you can get as you drive a V8 https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

[stevo68]

True about the V8's on a heavy driving day, mine slurps down the juice like the bloke on the solo add :? .

But it sounds good and you have fun doing so, it's a trade-off https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Trav

[Caveman]

You're not wrong....love that V8 howl.... https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

It's not that bad Mick, I do have LPG as well....so it's a bit cheaper to run....I just have to fill up every 200km's though. :roll:

[stevo68]

It surely is a great tradeoff https://www.aulro.com/afvb/, though sometimes I forget that whilst it is a V8, has a great sound when snarling, it does carry some weight, so me thinks I was dreaming when I tried to take on a BMW 330i convertible this morning, but we werent far off its tail :? , not that I am a hoon or anything 8) ,

Mines purely a weekend warrior for that reason. I used to run my Rangie(s) to work and back and in my profession I travel all over the shop I was up for well into the $100 a week for fuel 8O

I do have a transit diesel for work (ex-postie van, can't miss it https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ ), great for fuel economy like all diesls are, but it make me appreciate what acceleration is :twisted:

Trav

[Caveman]

Yeah, my disco is also a weekend/2nd car, so I wasn't too concerned about the thristy V8......it's not really that bad for weekend highway cruising, just the stop/start commute to the city during the week.

I mostly drive my 1.3 4cyl during the week.

[stevo68]

Mine doesnt do to bad though , not much difference from the V6 Territory I had. Mind you apart from a trip 2-3 times a week to Brissie to pick up/ drop off my children who live up there, most of it is from Mudgeeraba to Southport along the highway. I mean it aint cheap it, with current prices on premium it close on $100 a tank and Id go a tank plus a week, but hey the kids are learning to live on bread and water https://www.aulro.com/afvb/,

Regards

Stevo

[LoadedDisco]

Stevo have a friend that has a Territory and he has no end of trouble and recalls. Did you have the same thing of may be he just picked up a lemon.

Had a great night out at the meeting, and that pub can cook up a great steak https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
Cant wait for my steak next month https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

[stevo68]

Hey mate, thanks again for Friday, cant wait till Sunday. Sounds like ya mate got a lemon, I had only one prob with mine and that came after owning it for over 12 mths, it was with the ABS, other than that it was a great set of wheels. Mind it was great the D3 is greater https://www.aulro.com/afvb/,

REgards

Stevo

[LoadedDisco]

Finally some thing on and I’m not working I cant wait for that steak. See you all on Thursday 2nd March.
I also will be there on the 12th March to learn some new driving tips. 8)

[stevo68]

Hey Mate,

There ya are, thought you'd gone AWOL, are you able to make it to the recovery session at my place on the Sunday 5th??

Regards

Stevo

[LoadedDisco]

No have not gone AWOL wish I had :!:
I do Security work and its shift work so it can really tie you up for a week or so. I cant wait to go back to a normal day job probably in a year or so.
