How was it?

I didn't realise last week that I was going to a friend's b'day at a winery.

It was a top day but we had to leave early at about 2:00pm. All sorts of stuff was there from hill climb specials with huge motor bike engines and no weight through WRXs and such to a freaking (80 series?) landcruiser . And wow could that cruiser move!!......a smidge over 52 seconds

Rhysk might have some pics.

MGCCQ have done a great job improving the track and the venue. We'll be going to the next one on 13 August if it doesn't clash with a club run.

we were only there for about an hour but it was great, i think Rhys said the land cruiser had a 6.0L turbo init... very quick thats for sure!

[Cal]

If it's the Landcruiser that does Qld Challenge, it is supposed to have 600hp or something stupid. Bloody funny to watch.

I am pretty sure the cruiser has the 4.5L cruiser engine, but with a huge mother of a turbo on it. Yeah heard stories of 600hp not sure on exact power though. Its almost as fast as some of the WRX's and evo's etc.

[JBT]

Yeah, I think it has a 4.5 litre mill and humungous turbo. Still has the roo bar on it too .

That'd be the Nicholson's 4.5L Turbo Landcruiser. Seen id before at Mt Cotton and was somwhere between awe and laughter - good fun. I've chased them on Coastal before and that thing can move. What kind of times were they doing?

Cheers,
