Good Roads To Test New Car

[INASNT]

So I am getting my VE SS later this week and have the whole next week off to take the car for a good run before I start my new job.

Done the GOR, Black Spur, Dande Mountains etc in the past. I am looking for some new spots to take the car out and test it out and run the engine in. I have a whole week so looking at doing a few different trips.

[Mr. Oizo]

tried the roads around Marysville?

[INASNT]

Dont think so. Good? Got an online map?

[Paradizzle]

This time of year may be a bit damp/wet around Marysville....

Forget Marysville, go to Kinglake, and get on Healesville-Kinglake Rd through Toolangi

Looks like fun......

[INASNT]

Reefton Spur - head out through Warburton, runs up past Lake Mountain and comes in at the back of Marysville. Unfortunately, you have to use the damned Black Spur to get home.

Also, NDSOC are having their annual Gippsland Drive this Sunday up to Walhalla. Details on their website (www.ndsoc.com.au)

And take Jacks number with you when the barge misses the side of the mountain. It is a fun road though.

Hey, I thought you were getting a commonwhore, but that looks like an astra in the pic you emailed me......guess their 1 Bill couldn't afford a car stylist........

I might be going for a run through blackspur with a mate or two on saturday, your welcome to join if you like.

[INASNT]

Cheers, will check them out.

Allblitz, going to do the cruising during mon-friday next week as I have the whole week off

What about Mornington Peninsula, there is plenty of good roads to check out, just look at whereis.com maps.

The good road is around the Arthurs Seat, should be good to test the handling of VE SS.

EDIT:

Check out Bittern-Dromana Road, if you want some hairy action to test the electric aids...

Many good places to eat along the way?

My driveway

Some crazy action for ya if you like going up 30 degree slopes with hairpin bends!

But seriously...when you say test it out, are you gonna want to flog it a bit to see how fast it goes, or more handling wise? cos all the roads ppl have suggested so far are fairly winding so you wouldn't wanna go too fast

[INASNT]

General trash and just to cruise in it.

Go grab a Buxton burger

[ferni]

wow VE SS didn't know you got one, let us know what you think of it after you've run it in.

[Lukaz]

Can't go past lysterfield rd for a 1 - 2 minute bit of fun.

It's dead around midnight.
