Just recently moved to the city and didn't know not every address is eligible for the parking scheme.

In my area there are plenty of empty spots and am wondering if anyone here has applied in a special way and been approved or what other options I have other than renting a car spot?

Thanks... :\

Dude; the cheapest and best way of getting a car spot in the city is to rent one!!! I've seen them for as low as $40 a week (full lockup security)... shop around, you'd be surprised how many people in an apartment block don't own cars.

I actually have a bad lower back and to a lesser extent foot- both which might fit me into the eligibility of the Mobility Parking Scheme - which means you can park over the metered time.

I just don't know of a doctor who would sign it for me, feels a bit ridiculous asking for a parking permit for a bum knee - because I actually would never use the para blue parking spots EVER, there are much worse off people.

On the other hand if I fit into the guidelines and it means I can get a sticker that'll let me park out the front of my house I don't see the harm.

Does anyone know of doctors who do this sort of stuff? Or is any doctor ok?

If you can get an MPS, you can park for up to 2hrs in a 30min zone, and all day in any spot rated over an hour. And you don't have to pay for metered parking, which will save you a hell of a lot of money.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
