Well due to the northern region not having any type of racetrack or motorsport venue of any type at all.

People tend to belive that the road is a racetrack... Now i kinda agree with that, but just pick ur time and place.

The kuranda range does get its fair share of people believing that there stock lancer's are track bred machines and try to drive them accordingly regardless of the amount of traffic on the range or the conditions.

What sort of front apron panel do you have? Is it ROVER?

I remember the times I used to thrash the old Datto 1600 up that thar range when heading home to Mareeba.. Even took on and beat a GT Falcon around the tighter bends but he had me on the straights tho...

A 1600 would of been great fun up the range! My Gemini was pretty good to! Ive never actually driven my Mini up the Kuranda Range, just to much traffic and tossers these days.

Ah yes, you are correct.

You just need to put some steelies or factory alloys on the rear and then you'll fit in nicely.

your close, but you need to remove the rear bumper from when you lost the back end and clipped another car.

Is this Commodore photo has been taken in Geelong? Tons of P-Plate here seem to buy mag two at the time. Have a look for the amount of car with only two mag, you will be amaze.

I went to cairns in febuary, rented a Bini with the intention to fang it to Karunda, iwas stuck behind a bus both way :x . A bit sad really

Dunno where that Crummo is, but im sure the owner is a toss!

Yeah kuranda range is choked with traffic now days...

The Gillies Range is the other option, but the road surface is a bit rough.... Its been neglected compared to Kuranda Range.

This is wat the Gillies looks like on a bike.........
