So thats

Glass house trip
Sunday 11 March
Meet at 09:30 Matilda Steve Irwin Way (Lansborough?)

Now, is this trip for hard core lifted and locked only? Will a 2" lift and 33s suffice? Are there tracks for low riders like Silver not too far away from where the more committed are playing? Ideally chicken tracks right next door to the gnarly stuff?

And if that is all worked out, could a mod move it to the first page?

Ta :-)

Mate, there are alternate tracks everywhere, even for a "low rider"!! lol

Most places that are full on are "park and watch" whilst people have a lash then move on ... so feel free to join in (and it's pretty spectacular scenery in some spots).

I'll copy these details and paste to the first post now.

Agree - it would be dead set slop (a nightmare) out there after this barrage, so unless we get a reprieve (which doesn't look to be the case), then we should look at moving it ... same goes on the tracks out there - let the usual clowns that go there and destroy the place do what they will, but I'm not interested in it ...

Dhuck
5th March 2012, 08:00 PM
I agree. Been several times now after rain and it is just a slop hole. All the descent tracks are pretty much undrivable. Where is another good spot we can go without the hassle of the law?

There's always Bribie - no mud, but unless the lagoons are up, not much challenge either.

It was still shut the weekend before last when we were there, so I'd say after today's downpour up north, it'd be shut again for sure.

Even if we go to logan or ormeau I'm still looking at a 6-7 hour round trip (not including 4wding). As today was the last day of my 111.75 hour week. I'm pretty fu**in buggered and not really interested in doing much atm. I'll have to think about it

GQUTERUS
11th March 2012, 07:28 PM
Awesome.

What a day, im really glad we decided to tag along with you guys. Firstly i would like to thank everyone for the warm welcome you showed Hayley and i.

It was the first outing we've done in the truck since sep last year, very please with how it performed and i think it's time to install this lokka i have beside me ;).
I love Glasshouse, it has something for everyone. The tracks we choose where great and gave alot of variety to the day. I was tempted to give Little Red a go, im glad i didn't lol
The support everyone gave was awesome. It's been a long time and i needed help choosing a line, there was always someone there to lend a hand. Great work.

@ BigRig, i'll take you up on that beer next time buddy. Nice meeting you!

All in all, a good day. Laughs all round, and a little bit of mud and dust.

What a day, im really glad we decided to tag along with you guys. Firstly i would like to thank everyone for the warm welcome you showed Hayley and i.

It was the first outing we've done in the truck since sep last year, very please with how it performed and i think it's time to install this lokka i have beside me ;).

Mate, you and Hayley were a pleasure to have along ... you stuck to your guns on what you did and didn't want to do (which by the way, he did everything!! lol), were great at the wheel, friendly and went with the flow ... we couldn't ask more than that of new attendees and it just makes for that much better of a time for everyone.

Definitely look forward to catching up for a beer, and another run!!!

thanks everyone for showing up today had a ball.

I have 2 pictures of little red, one from the bottom and one from half way up. The bottom half is pretty tricky with some good ruts, the top isnt tvery steep but it has a big step up . Dhuck and I had a crack at it we both made it. I have a good amount of video footage too I'll post them up as I upload then
Cheers

Tank in car camera of hill leading back up to Water Tower - this track was closed for ages due to someone being seriously injured or something a while back ... one of those tracks that looks straight forward (and is if you stick to the right line), but if you got yourself out of shape half way up and rolled, there is loooooong dropoff the left hand side .. that said, Les, Adam, Dhuck, Benny and I all slaughtered it!!!! lol

Thanks bigrig!
I had a great time, and every one was helpful and friendly the way a car club should be !
Looking forward to another day like that in the future.
Washed the car off with the work pressure hose and left a 3x3 patch of mud on the ground XD
Boss was a bit upset at the mess but half a rocky road bar made it all ok again.

Pleasure mate!! Glad you had a good time, and that's what it's all about with us - do what you're comfortable with, have a lash with some people to guide you of things you mightn't normally attempt, and generally just enjoy yourself with no damage to truck, pride or yourself.

I think so , when I lifted the front wheel on little red it was on a bigger angle that the camera shows. it would of bee good to have the camera mounted to the passenger rear side of the tray
