LOCKYER VALLEY CRUISE

WHAT TO BRING

• car
  
• plenty of fuel

• uhf radio <- must have (if you don't have one speak up and you may be able to borrow someone's spare - I have a couple available)
  
• warm clothes
  

THE FINE PRINT

In order for every body to have a good time, a few rules have been implemented. Failure to abide by these rules will ensure you are not invited to future events held by FordXR6Turbo.com.

The reasons for these rules are:

• Safety - We don't want to put any of our members, and the general public in any danger.
  
• Public Perception - We do not want the Ford XR6 Turbo community to face the same ridicule and stereotypes other car communities face.
  
• The rules are simple:
  
• Obey all laws whilst on the cruise; this means no speeding, no overtaking over double lines etc... Any breaches will be reported to the local police.
  
• There is a designated cruise leader who will lead the way and set the correct pace for all cruise members.
  
• Use the Buddy system; always make sure you can see the car behind you. This will give people behind you an indication on where to turn and to make sure nobody gets lost or left behind.
  
• CB Radios; if you don't have one, follow the maps and directions given out. If you do have one, please limit chatter during the twisty parts of the cruise. This will allow the cruise leader to relay information about road conditions, upcoming obstacles, etc. efficiently.
  
• By attending this cruise you agree not to hold FordXR6Turbo.com, its Administrators, Moderators, Cruise Organisers, or Owners responsible/liable for any damage and/or grief sustained (simply; if you stuff up it's your fault, not ours).
  
• If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask before the cruise.
  

Apologies for the late notice...have been hesitant to start a thread until I know I can make it myself, and also waiting to see what the weather is doing. The forecast is for possible showers at the moment so fingers crossed it'll stay that way.

Open for suggestions on a lunch stop, maybe a counter meal at the Murphy Creek pub?

Post-up to advise of your attendance, meeting point and finer details will be provided via PM.

Good stuff ladies.

Any preferences on lunch? Or just whatever. If it's just a few of us we can grab a pie or some chew n' spew in Toowoomba or on the Warrego on the way back?

Or raid SDP's fridge while he's out of town?
