towe001 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Multiple drivers means we can have the option of driving overnight to get us some extra time up there? I'll be the first volunteer for the night shift, my sleep pattern's easy to kick around :P "No-doz" for the win. brother and i did that for a straight run from Toowoomba up to Noosa and then on to Shepparton. Stayed a night and then came back home. Off our chops when we got to Shepparton. Guy i use to work with was an ex-truckie and reckoned pop a coffee bean in your mouth as your sucking on a can of V. P.S - I'm not sure if we can bring our coconuts (& bananas!) back with us :hmm: Pretty sure quarrantine people wont like the idea... Quarantine ? All it is, is just a bin with a sign asking for all fruit to be dumped in the bin before leaving QLD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7shades Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Not sure if they're a regional thing, but you can get chocolate coated coffee beans up here. They's gooood :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid-Ae Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Not sure if they're a regional thing, but you can get chocolate coated coffee beans up here. They's gooood :) Possibly the best thing on a long drive, or for those times when you just want to feel like a real man, sucking your coffee instead of drinking it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7shades Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Real man's coffee is served cold, and crunchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to at least imply the image of doing things safely :wink: :laff: I've got a lolly shop around here that does chocolate coated coffee beans, caffeine + sugar for the win!!! :y: I was on my P's in my KE70 & had a Korfball (just Google it rather than ask me what it is :P) training weekend in Mount Gambier, dfunkt was on his L's still so couldnt help me drive :( Drove up early Saturday morning, full day's drills etc, I got drunk Sat night (stupid :bash:), Sunday full day again (I, predictably, was throwing up a lot). Drove straight to Melbourne, attended Soulfly concert then drove back out to Bacchus Marsh at 2am after the KE70 had her I-don't-want-to start hissy-fit in the Crown carpark. Learned how NOT to do a road trip from that :laff: Oh, I started a new job that Monday too :yes: Quarantine ? All it is, is just a bin with a sign asking for all fruit to be dumped in the bin before leaving QLD. Yep, that one. :wink: Jeez, you make one speeling mistake around here & people jump on it :lolcry: Not sure if they're a regional thing, but you can get chocolate coated coffee beans up here.

bAKER Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) can we get a second group going up so we don't get 4 days of leave? maybe 1 instead. I can't get 4 :glare: to go straight to the gold coast, perhaps. Edited May 19, 2011 by bAKER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan G Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 we need to make this trip fun. please advise of "top gear challanges" "$1000 corolla challange" "you must drive to qld without braking down. each time your bonnet is opened you will lose a point, but every truck you overtake you will gain a point."
