Grays Road - Brisbane

[Palms]

If you're looking for a fun minute or so, there is a road just off Kingsford Smith Drive that is pretty much a hillclimb. It's a lot of fun - 2 hairpins, a chicane and a couple other corners, but it's only about 800m long. It has got a couple of potholes in between the 2 hairpins, but I've been enjoying driving up it on the way home from uni for several months now.

you're bloody lucky you didn't meet me coming DOWN Grays rd in the truck a few weeks back if you were \"having some fun\"

I would have hated that - there are some parts that are very narrow on that road. There is very good visibility on it so I would have seen you coming.

Welcome to the forum Palms. Have you joined the local club yet?

Nah, not yet - I haven't got my mx5 yet, but once I do I'll probably join. I won't have the money for the car until next year, so yeah. I'm a uni student so I can only really work on the holidays.

Ah, good ol' Grays Rd, know it well. I often detour that way.

I first discovered its virtues a few years ago when test driving a new WRX. The sales girl suggested I turn up there off KS Drive! I'm glad I took her advice.

Ha,
I took this road a few weeks back in the work car and yes it's short but it's a great little run, maybe a bit too narrow to be too adventerous but never the less a great way to get rid of the pent up anger after sitting in traffic on Kingsford
