Edit 17/01/13 The trip is on the 24/02/2013, I already have 7 cars, 3 io may be 4! , I think that it is a fair number. If other are interested, I can do the same trip again without problem...just say when...wink

The Canberra io "club" (there is no club, I just made that up!) is inviting you to a full day trip to the Brindabella range on the Sunday 10 or Sunday 24 of February. We will be going to places like Flea Creek and McIntyre's Hut. This is a easy drive with some steep hill, no mod needed, but you will still need to engage your low gears!

At this stage we have 3 io coming:               1999, 1.8l, 5 doors,small lift, 225/70/16 A/T ...Womble'scar

                                                                2002, 2l, 5 doors, ZR, no mod (yet!), road tyres, ...Focusio's car

                                                                2002, 2l, 3 doors, some mods, 225/75/16 km2....my car

we  have one Ford and a Nissan Navara....no mod on either...

Bring your wife/partner, lunch,  camera, and a full fuel tank....small bbq at my place after. If you need more info, or some help to able you to come...let me know.

The heat wave, and the bush fires risk should be much better by this time....

Happy io.

I may be interested in this

I may be interested in this trip. Keep me posted about which date you decide upon. I think the 10th might be better for me.

Cheers.

PS: Should we bring fishing gear? :P

Have fun

Unfortunately I won't be able to make this trip, but I would be very keen to do it some other time.

Is there a place to camp up there? Coming from sydney, I'd rather try to make a weekend out of it.

Let me know when the next one will be!

How did you go?

Hey Claude, did you end up hitting the trails yesterday? The weather has been a little dodgy lately, so maybe not...?

Brindabella trip

Lol...you can say that, the weather got worse every day, with lots of rain (of course it got better on Monday !) A little bit of Murphy's law, lots of mobile calls in the morning, some choose to wisely cancel (McIntyre's hut have some very steep hills) but three cars made it, 2 io and a Landcruiser. We got lucky...no strap needed :)

Focusio, with his stock io was happy to try my car and liked a  few of my mod, he was impressed and loved the grip of my tyres (a bit of mud on this day!), I have to say that I enjoyed driving his stock io, lots of fun going up the hills...lots of momentum and side way but it when up....

I will put a few pictures and a utube link later on.

Edit

 

Happy io
