After a great deal of worry about a certain Cyclone crossing the Qld coast on the morning of our Run, an intrepid 7 Corvettes set out from Loganholme.  Stopped in at Sylvan Park, Toowong to pick up any possible north or west-side members (none!) and to have our driver briefing.

There seemed to be a little league carnival going on and car parks were non-existent, so the briefing was brief!  I might add, the park was empty when Ernie & I did the dry run and seemed ideal.  Such is life!

Members set off on the most difficult leg of the journey through the north-west side of Brisbane, of which none of us is very familiar.  After a couple of wrong turns and some inaccuracies with the Google Map, we all managed to make it to the top of beautiful Mt. Glorious for morning tea.

Ali, Sally & Sue had done some delicious home baking so we all tucked in.

Members were taking odometer readings and timing each leg of the run, as this was one of the prize categories.

Next leg down the mountain was pretty easy, with two left turns seeing us in Fernvale in time for an early lunch.   The town was hopping also, but most people seemed to be concentrated at the Markets on the north side. Sue Webro cast a longing glance in their direction, but was informed there was no time for any of that!

Members enjoyed a standard pub-style lunch and handed in their 2^nd quiz for marking.  Allen & Sue seemed to be firming as favorites, with Ron & Jean Austen in hot pursuit.

Set off on the final leg after Peter's attempt to get himself arrested had failed.  Good chance for a blat down the Ipswich / Toowoomba road and then the Logan Motorway.  The Tiger shark went a bit guppy again, with black smoke pouring from the air-conditioning unit.  A short stop for some running repairs and it was on the road again.  Things now a bit tense in the Turner cabin!

Finally, we arrived safely at BP Stapylton, except the Austen's, who sailed through the roundabout and took  the long way home.

Last quiz was handed in and pronounced “too hard.”  Barb Kelly announced she & Dave were doing the next quiz night and that all the questions would be about Maths, Science, the Stock Market and Ragdoll cats!  Go Barb!

As expected, Allen Squire & Sue were easily the Quiz winners (4 x litre tins of jellybeans), with the Pleffers (nice to see them both again), the closest to Ernie & I on mileage & timing section.  They took home a cute travel clock. Thanks to all that came and think the Whittles will have a break for a bit now!
