well just a heads up to all... I went for a Nebo cruise last Saturday night with 2 other mates cars around 9-10pm. So for those who aren't familiar or driven at night on this route please take it easy as one little mistake could mean a total...

There maybe the odd 1 or 2 cars passing... so that's another thing to watch out for too.

But I know we will all behave and drive in a orderly manner... but yes the odd squirt is fun too :D... but yeah you got my drift. But I definitely will be at the back of the pack that's for sure ;) because I don't like being followed :P

Yeah. Cruising Nebo at night sure is fun. It's not a bad drive actually. I was surprised when I first travelled it that the speed limit was mostly 80km/h which is quite thrilling for most people giving the width of the road (though you can usually go higher, I don't condone that behaviour :ph34r:). If you're not familiar with it though just remember; you need to slow down on the parts where one lane is at a different height to others. Not much room for error there.

Well I for one won't be driving like a crazy person. I'm currently on g/b for 12mths so I can't afford to make any mistakes in that department.

I also LOVE my car and my life... lol So yeah I'll be taking it easy. Those who wish to drive any differently may choose to do so at your own risk and responsibility.

I'm going to be bringing my camera out for the night too so if there happens to be some good lighting and I can take some pics I thought I'd let everyone know now so your aware. ;)

When you are riding on pimp-spec suspension like i am (ie. my springs are VERY) soft, Its pretty hard to go much more than 80kph up nebo anyway....

As nate said, we don't need anyone trying to be a hero and ending up somewhere down the side of the mountain

Yes, don't worry. I have a TRD Aurion but I seriously drive like a grandpa. As long as it's a Toyota, it's good! Anyway, as everyone said, we should not risk our lives over a few seconds of fun. And on Mt Nebo, once you go off the road, it can be a LOOOOOOOONG way down........

Boys I have just driven some mountain roads here in Queenstown that make Nebo look like a mound. I'm talking a 1500ft drop off the side if you get it wrong. Just fanged it down the mountain from Coronet Peak snow fields in a V6 auto Kia Carnival!! Even in that POS it was awesome. Kept getting distracted by the awesome views!! Car handles like crap but put it in manual mode and have some fun LOL

North you would absolutely love these roads. They are friggen awesome!!!!

They are awesome, just gotta keep an eye out for black ice and one lane bridges which are everywhere.
