    to be honest I have no idea, if I get a chance I can drive around, both kids are going for their licence so there is that excuse to get out, otherwise Thornside it is.

     

    although there is the track at Boondall, but that is a long drive for me. I believe a group of guys meet up there every second Saturday still.

    Yeah, I'd like to visit Boondall at some point in the future, it's a hike for me too.

    There is the track at Carole Park were they race - apparently they were going to be building a vintage track next to it. Never been there so don't know if it's been built or not.

    I'm fine with Thornlands, but happy to go closer to the South side if possible

    Any decent spots on the southside?

    I'm only really familiar with Thorneside and the little track near me at Redland Bay.

    There are a few bike tracks around the place but aren't very vintage friendly.

    I could provably make time this weekend, but I won't have any cars to run. 

    Did we want to pick a date like the 14th or 21stof July?

    Yeah, let's not do this weekend - too short notice.

    Let's maybe aim for the 21st so it gives us time to prep some stuff.

    Do you have a preference for morning/arvo?

    I'm probably only good for a Sunday drive, and any thoughts as to where?

    I'd better start prepping some cars, I haven't driven any in years either

    Sunday works for me. 

    Maybe Thorneside? Pretty vintage friendly. 

    Not sure how the cars will hold up. They seemed OK when the kids ran them in the yard the other day, although my Thundershot sounded a bit rough.

    Howdy, yep I'm still around, I just don't get a chance to run my cars much. Hope you've been well, its been quite awhile.

    I would be keen for drive if the timing works.

    I think Peter lurks around here now and then too, Mark I haven't heard of for a while, I think he is still up Sunshine Coast way.

    Yeah been way too long. Good to hear you're still around Johann and have some cars to run.

    Happy to work in with your availability. Weekends work best for me. Have 3 kids these days so don't have alot of time to myself but they are getting older and lots more independant.

    We can just do something local to make it easy. I'm still at Mt Cotton so not too far from all our old local haunts!

    Hey guys. Great to see this thread resurrected.

    Yeah we are up at Caloundra now. Sold a fair few of the top 100 but still have plenty of runners and a few working lipos.

    Happy to host anyone who wants to come up for a beach run. We’ve got a few spare beds so can even make a weekend trip now it’s warming up.

    Until then, keep posting pics!

    Hey Mark!

    Good to hear that you kept a few runners. Johann mentioned that you’d sold off most of the collection.

    Beach run could be good. Any decent dirt tracks (like Thorneside) up your way?

    If you feel like breaking some stuff, there’s always Boondall as well!

    forecast is a lot better for tomorrow, so fingers crossed. And thanks to the rain today, my day is now freed up considerably tomorrow, so I am good for anytime, so lets lock in 1 pm?

    I'm happy for either Thorneside or Redland Bay, both are about the same distance for me.

    I was looking around on Google maps for possible locations and 2 possible locations I found are  381 Avalon Rd, Sheldon or there is Venman Bushland National Park, off Venman Road.

    Yep, 1pm sounds good. 

    I live about 15 mins from the Redland Bay track at Talburpin Park so I can always duck over and see what condition it is in tomorrow morning. 

    Ive been to Venman National Park as it’s not far from here. Didn’t really see any spots to run RC cars but we entered from West Mt Cotton Road.

    interested yes, but don't know if I will be available. i'm taking my son to BrisBricks Lego Expo at Chandler Park, but we are still working out times. So if I can manage to get there I will.

    Make sure to post pics :D

    Hi Johann,

    I didn’t really have anywhere in mind as of yet so happy to work in with you.

    Hopefully a couple of others are keen as well.

    I am still around, just not very active. It has been literally years since having a run.

    I work some weekends but I will see if I can come out if something gets organised.

    Hey Brad

    It’s been a very long time. 

    Hope all is well with yourself and Kumi. 

    Hopefully we can get something nutted out very soon. 

    Good to see some of the old faces are still around!
