hey guys being a taswegian thats been to melb a whole of once ...and got lost lol i need some advice on the best way to get from place to place

im gonna be in melb may'ish to pick up my brothers R32 its goin to be in dandenong and we will be landing at the tulla marine airport

weve got the maps and directions etc down but getting a taxi to take us is gonna be a killer on the wallet i rekon so just thort id ask if anyone knows if theres trams and buses or something of that nature that could gets us from the airport to dandenong for less then a taxi


oh and gadget ill have to take ya up on that beer lol

[mats12]

The only public transport that I know of from the Airport is the shuttle bus. It will take you to Southern Cross station. You can then catch a cranbourne/pakenham line train to Dandenong. You should be pretty close to the place by then.

just ask some1 to drive u there, if u ask nicely i might be able to take u. u get the choice of 1 of 2 of my limmo's lol ca20 s12 or rps13 180sx sr20 blacktop. i live about 15mins from tulla and can get to dandy in about 30-40mins. maybe a tank of petrol or cash? i know gadget to so i'll come smash a beer with yaz

Hey guys,

For sure we'll catch up for a beer! Sorry only just caught onto the thread. Car's not 100% healthy atm after sandown last weekend, but still drivable... ish.

Anywho... sounds like Davis is goin to look after you for a lift. How long are you planning on hanging around for?

As i work full time, miles away from any logical place to catch up, i'll need as much notice as possible. I start early so meeting up round 5:30 onwards most days is possible.

[Fury-S12]

thnx for the offer s12_silvia (davis was it?) we have a relative we have just learnt off that we are trying to contact now lol if we cant get a hold of them ill definatly have to organise something with you for sure i will let you no asap.

we are only planning on being there for one day arrive in the morning by plane get a lift to the compliance place and then waste the day making our way to the boat port drop the car on the boat and then go to the airport at whatever time so there should be sum time after 530 for a bit of a gathering with drinks lol

[gadget1382]

What is it with you interstaters only staying a few hours?!



all good. Lettus know and i'll see what i can do.

[SheppS12]

My falcon is good at getting places, and has a tow hitch rated at 2 tonne!! (used to be for towing horse floats) Also, as gadget will attest to, i keep a good beer supply... aswell as spirits...

[Fury-S12]

haha sounds interesting shepp lol

well the relative idea fell thru, so an aus12 member might be the way to go the car is still on track to be rdy on may 3rd so the closest weekend to that will be wen we go up ill post up again wen we know 100% wen we will be in melb and then see whos available for a ride and for a get together

[gadget1382]

When you work out the weekend, start a thread in "vic events" and then put a link in here to it.

[SheppS12]

After the chanel 7 news the other day, i wouldnt recomend a Holden Commadore with P plates as transport... most confiscated car under anti-hoon laws...

[Fury-S12]

ok its set for this weekend, Saturday to be more precise we will be arriving at tullamarine at 10:55 and need to get down to dandenong if anyone can help out with some transport please let me no

there is a bus that leaves at some time after we arrive cost like 20bux per person tho so obviosly if someone will do us a deal better then that we'd appreciate it big time

[Gazelle D]

[gadget1382]

I must have missed his post :s

[Fury-S12]

lol its all gud trip went alrite we missed the bus we originally had booked and ended up taking a different bus to the city then a train to dandenong worked out cheaper anyway now my bro has a r32 in the driveway straightest one ive seen and straightest the comlience guy has seen to just to give a rough idea of how much of a rare pearl it is


melbourne let me down tho didnt see one s12 lotsa r34s tho

[phat_gazelle]

lol since people went to melbourne and caught up. i'll be in melbourne this friday till this sunday night. so if anyone that wants to show off their ride to me. sweet as. this is gonna be the first time outta brisbane basically so i'm pumped. wats the car seen like in melbourne as well.

cheers, Michael

[Jono]

yeah i should be available for a casual meet up...

car scene is reasonably dead in melbourne these days as far as i am concerned - it may just be that i dont go to the right places...
chappel st used to be the place to go to see fully sick vl's and rice mobiles do 0-20kmh tests, but that has died down since the cops have beeen doing blitzes. I was there a couple of weeks ago and it looks like traffic actually flows again (used to take about 30min to drive 1km) although there is still the odd wanker pulling laps..

st kilda marina was the place to go about 5 years ago but i think that is absolutely dead these days there are always a few cars cruising up and down princes hwy but the hoon laws have scared alot of people off..

[gadget1382]

There's not a "common" place to go anymore, only organised meets that you can hear about or tag along onto if lucky enough to stumble accross one. The cops dont like us having a regular common meeting place/s.

[Fury-S12]

i did get the impression that the cops had everyone scared in melbourne the imports i did see were driving like girlymen and if anything like a falcon did a squel at the lights it would then quickly dash of into a shadow to hide.

[gadget1382]

Doesnt help we now have a "Dob in a Hoon" Hotline :s

[phat_gazelle]

lol really. thats bad. my brother has a 180sx wit a rb20det in it. he was driving normally in the outta saburbs of sydney wit his ex misses and her dad when he was going a corner at 60 the speed limit and slid out and smashed into a gutter and he was left on the grass with a broken rim and sh**. police came and gave him a fine for hooning all because someone heard a little screech then bang. my bro and the girls dad tried to explain what happened but the cop didnt give a sh** and still gave him the fine. i dont no about anyone out there but thats bs and unfair.
