Default cruising brissy on wednesday nights?

hey guys, me and Dan (walkinshaw) are flying up to brissy tomorrow (tuesday) night, to look at an XC GXL.the plan is to pick it up wednesday morning, and head home thursday morning.
so we have some time to waste...
does anyone go cruising on a wednesday night? where would be the best place to go? any suggestions?
or is it dead during the week, with the only action being on weekends?
cheers,
Phil.

Willowbanks probably the only action you will find on a wednesday night... not much happens during the week, a fair few ricers get down to Macas at Aspley on a Thursday night to show off their bling..but thats about it

Mark (racecraft) has very generously offered to pick us up from the airport, put us up for the night, and take us up to maroochydore on wednesday morning to pick up the GXL. so we'll be cruising around in that.

mmmm, xc gxl with 351/toploader/9", on gas.... cool cheap cruising ;)

Mate, mine's unregistered for the next year or so... But once the manifold and sump and carb and 9" go in, I might trailer it out to Willowbank to show you the taillights....
