Hi you dirty Queenslanders!!! im moving up to brisbane in the next 2 weeks as i purchased a site at swanbank. I know absolutely no one up there and have no idea what to do or where to go for fun..... I will be bringing up my vl once it get the engine rebuilt and shell finished and wouldnt mind taking it out for drives and try and give you 8sec vl blokes a run for your money down as the track if i can get the ******* to hook up. Anyways Looking at renting a house for 6 months around the site somewhere till i figure out a nice place to buy so even nice places to buy would be handy to know also.... If people are interested in doing anything from going out for a drive, racing, dirt bike riding, shooting or going out for a few beers just hit me up as im keen to meet people up there and be shown around.... I was laughing typing this as it sounds like a date site ad haha Kirk [phone removed]

Kirk if u wanna go mx riding let me know once ya here...also my opinion is to try and stick to the north side of Brisbane...if u need a workshop hook up let me know also...and last but not least...u will be HEAVILY disappointed with the street scene here...non of the fairies on here race on streets anymore prob for good reason but yeah not many tough cars out on streets and almost NO vl's...pretty sure only Scotty drives his on streets regulary Let me know bout anything [phone removed] - Neno

northside represent! lol swanbank, looks like you'll be in the middle of bum**** no where, close to qld raceway and willowbank tho, also close to such nice places as brown plains (stains) inala, ipswich, logan etc. what's happening at this new qld site? environmental and waste stuff?

Springfield lakes is fairly new...problem is houses are all right on top of each other...another problem is its 40 mins to the city Positive would be that there is a caltex e85 there and qld moto park is not far and neither is willobank Another negative is that sometimes people from Ipswich go there because they get lost when they are on their paint sniffing missions Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Good luck keeping a VL on the road in QLD - seems everyone keeps breaking or taking them off the road all the time lol, it's a rarity that there's more than 1 VL from here on the road. No wonder there hasn't been a ct cruise in Brisbane for several years...

Springfield lakes is good, what qualifications does an operator need?

Hahaha this is true Neno lol And also keen to know what you need in the way of qualifications ect as I'm recently unemployed (I quit). Yeah as said you don't see many vl's on the road at one time but before goran (MYT16) went on his vacation we both had our vl's at Munchies (acacia ridge) it's like an African safari up here with vl's, make sure you have your camera ready if you get a glimpse of the rare species lol

I dont even see POS vl's on the road...not even standard ones...this is chev badge ve country unfortunately...one thing that's pretty cool is we all know each other not that we go out anywhere in a pack as there is always no more than 1 or 2 running....

Well that's gay about having the cars not running, and I did notice all the Ve commodores around... As for operators they will need to have tickets for the machines or exp before on them before I will look at hiring them. Got dozers, excavators, dump trucks, waste compactors and so on.... ---------- Post added 21-05-13 at 20:14 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by InsaneVL [View Post] Good luck keeping a VL on the road in QLD - seems everyone keeps breaking or taking them off the road all the time lol, it's a rarity that there's more than 1 VL from here on the road.
