ClubCJ - Cairns/Townsville Meet 27th June 2009 - Photos

Y................es, its funny how the two people who had to start their journey from Townsville at 5am, drive 400kms made it to the starting place ON TIME and the person who could have just woke up 10 mins before the meeting couldn't even make it there on time - or even within 90 mins of being late!!!! :lol:

But a decent cruise, the twisties up the Kurranda range were awesome (a pure rally stage like no other) The SST in my car didn't do so well in auto, so paddle shifting was the key and never took it past 3rd gear (5000rpms most of the way) When we finally stopped, the turbo took around 5mins to cool down (could here the blower still going up the street)

I bought a new 10mp camera 30mins before we drove to Kurranda, so I didn't really understand all the settings, and these pics aren't as good as the camera can be (read the book today)

Here we go:

Chris B's photos should be way better - he had an SLR camera. Stay tuned for his.
P.S: Josh, I went out with cousin till 5am this morning - slept for 4 hours and then checked out around 9.30 this morning, spent some time on the esplanade near the pool chillin so feeling a bit under the weather throughout the drive home!!!!!

Chris also has way more photos haha, we'll wait til Tuesday for his. The one thing we didnt have a chance to do was a quick go-er off the lights - i wanted to see the difference between the two engines (2l non-t and 2.4l turbo) in terms of acceleration, for myself.

I had wondered if you found your cousin ok. Good night?

haha My idea. Chris is a little out of position, but meh, it was rushed. lol that street is my skidpan, its just around the corner from my place, dead end, dusty and totally deserted.

yeh it would have been awesome if i could have taken a picture from up high and got the full effect of the diamond from above!! But anyway it turned out good. saw 10 crocs on the river in an hour and a half, it was pretty cool.

I love the way we all have markedly different front ends, but they all look fantastic.
