Hi folks, this is the unofficial trip report.
We got up early, BLOODY EARLY, first lot met at Nerang, drove west to meet the second lot at Beaudesert, then drove south, met the third lot and had fun.
Now if you weren’t there, it’s not much use trying to tell you how good it was.
Cheers and thats it. ( for now );)
PS please note the time this was posted and I have already been down to the local 24 hour car wash.:(
Thanks. As I said in an earlier post, in the D3 you press a button, steer and hope for the best! Which I must say is very very good:D!Quote:

Hi folks, I suppose I had better give a half decent trip report.
First things first, I would to give a big thanks to harry for all his help both with this the reeces and as Tail End Charley, on Sunday.
I would like to thank Loaded for jumping in and helping as Tail End Charley for a few kms when I stuffed up ( can’t count )
And a special thanks to Outlaw for crawling out of his sick bed to help with the BBQ ( and yes he DID remember to ring the gas this time ).
Well as posted, it was a ( BLOODY ) early start and if I thought I had it bad, the poor folks from up north had to rise even earlier.
The Gold Coasters meet up at Nerang and then made our way to Beaudesert where we meet up with a much bigger crowd.
After a few pictures and a short tutorial, we were on our way and by this time we had 18 vehicles in convoy.
We got to the Border Spiral Loop Lookout with literally seconds to spare as the XPT was on time ( surprise, surprise ).
By this time we had picked up three more vehicles from down south ( Mexicans )
After watching the XPT run round the mountain and off into the distance, we headed off for our first bit of off roading.
Harry had found a nice easy water crossing and of those that had a go, no one had the slightest problem.
After our water play and a quick shamble over which direction we were going, we headed off back over the range and to a main play area.
After a few photo runs and the likes, the games began with everybody heading off in different directions for different obstacle courses.
The many photos posted will have already given those poor unlucky ones an idea of what they missed out on.
Even the dust didn’t deter anybody from having a go at what ever the heart desired and all had loads of fun while quite a few found out just how easy it was to do things with their vehicles they never thought they would try.
This is exactly what the day was intended to be all about.
We then settled down to some lunch and then people started going their separate ways.
I was nacked so with a few others, headed back to the coast, others headed north and south, while a few hardy travellers made there way over to Duck Creek for even more off roading.
From all reports everybody had a great day and the best thing of all, NOT ONE SINGLE DING TO ADD TO THE GCLRO Club DING Tally.
Thats how I like it.
Cheers and thanks to everybody for making it a great day out.
PS, I’ll try to origins another social run and BBQ for about early December.
Its a pity, I was down in bris but it was to go to an engagment party that day. Seeing as I was not there it means I lost the argument:mad:. She wasnt at all happy when I said they will probably get divorced anyway:twisted:
just out of curiosity did anyone get any pics of the nutjob reversing up the hill in the red deefer?
No I didn't, damn....
...must get a bigger card for the camera,
and use it!!!
That was pretty funny, tho....maybe I should've tried that....

I think i was the only one that couldnt make it up the hill forward.! The supercharger should help with that. Plus i may have toasted a shock absorber, its beginning to squeal quite loud. :D
BUT, no dents, which is good :P
