We are open to suggestions.

Remember people budgets. We are not looking for flash. A roof, bed, bog and shower is pretty much all we need.

As mentioned before, JVN11L and I will have a look around on the weekend and have a suggestion list up by Monday 04/04.

I'm about 75 percent sure I can make it, gonna be a massive drive, but hopefully I can meet up with another VIC member and cruise together???

Hey Dale, Barb and I are heading up in the Camry but we're leaving to do the drive the week before (starting Friday the 3rd and taking our time), so won't be able to head up with you. We can definitely make part of the return journey back with you though, we reckon we're gunna leave on the Monday unless we're too stuffed, then it'll be Tuesday. So can drive to the border with you then break off as we'll be heading to Bright on the way back.

DO NOT STAY IN KALLANGUR or that part of town...

the show and shine is just one event on the weekend's plan... and trust me, that side of town is VERY FAR from the CBD etc...

i wouldn't call 25k's very far.

i was replying to the post that asked for accomodation nearest to show and shine. and coming from out west my idea of a far drive is obviously different to others.

It's not that it's far away in distance, but the fact that it can take 2 hours to do the trip some days.

Maybe look close to the airport, or if you want to VE closerto north lakes try strathpine/bald hills/bracken ridge areas for cheap accommodation as it's close to Gympie rd/Brice highway and you can get anywhere from there. Try also C****ldine/aspley/Chermside/kedron.

Hey Guys and Girls

Just letting you know that we have found some accommodation in windsor which should be nice

Brisbane International Clicky ... We are looking at the Twin Hotel Room Option on Wotif, which is $140 per night (max 2 adults)

WOTIF LINKY

If that is out of your budget, there is a Formule 1 just down the road, about 100 metres.

We are getting our booking in now in-case it goes pear shaped and the long weekend bites us in the ar$e. I would suggest interested parties get booking in early so there is no disappointment.

Once you made a booking, I suggest you post it up so Dazza can update the roll call for the out of towners

Hey Big Pete,

Looks like they closed till July.

Hotel Formule 1 Windsor Brisbane is located within the vicinity of a new tunnel being built by Brisbane City Coucil. Due to noise issues related to the construction of the tunnel, the hotel will be closed until July 2011. For an alternative hotel we alsooffer Formule 1 Brisbane Airport.

the one at the airport is still reasonably close to the CBD... 10mins tops...

failing that, instead of looking northside, perhaps you could look just southside of the CBD around Woolloongabba, annerly, etc...

just a thought...

Okay guys. My apologies for being uber lazy to put aside some time to try and construct this thing, but with that said, I have attempted to make an indent on the itinerary. It is going to have some modification over the coming week or so, but it should be enough to give you a general idea of the way things are heading. So click through to:

PAGE 1

To anyone interstate, if you haven't already sorted out your accommodation, I would highly suggest doing so in the near future because the date is getting rather close. As well, if you have been considering attending, it is not too late to put your name down. In fact, it will never be too late (unless of course it is past the time already), so don't feel shy and join in on the meet.

Edit: Also sifted through the pages and added those to the list that I had forgotten to add.

Thanks for the pink D.

And seriously guys, I have been to three of these now, and they are a LOT of fun... especially when you travel to a different city to do it... IMO it good to stay on for a few extra days if you can and see a bit more of the city. The Brisbane guys will be happy to help there.

+1 to this - I have been looking forward to this for months :D And am also looking forward to checking out Brisbane again, I have not been up there in about 8 years.

First page plans look great, especially Saturday - afternoon show and shine is excellent too, plenty of time to get everything looking spic and span!

I have just applied for another job so am hoping that doesn't throw a spanner in the works holiday wise, fingers crossed it won't :)

BIG D!!

i propose some changes to the plan to add my 2c.

seeing we complained about sydney cruise so much id like to make this really good.

1) we bragged about nebo so much when we where down there, and we are only going to jollys now??? i propose we go the whole slog and go down the other side through the twisties like we always do,no come back the same way. beacue thats what it sounded like in your post.

2) do no recomend tambo, road is so shocking and being on the ong weekend we will get stuck behind a caravan, i prose O'rileys instead, there is a good bush/treetop walk at the top

      Fuel filter change - start stops running

      Check your fuel lines to the filter. The factory clamps are designed for quick removal but sometime come lose enough to allow air. I replaced all mine with 'worm drive' clamps.

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Fuel filter change - start stops running

      We recently completed a service a few weeks ago. Following this, a warning light indicated water in the filter. We replaced the filter, but subsequently encountered starting issues. After replacing the battery, the car eventually started. However, after running for about five minutes, it stalled as if it had run out of diesel. We have primed the filter, engine starts but then car stops again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
