dud it's hobart, anywhere you get a place is 10 minuts from town.

BUT the first place (1) is crap, theer is parking available on teh opposite side of the road, but i wouldn't leave my car there. TOOO many people driving past and all.

Number 2) is ok location wise, it's actually more Toroona or so (can't speel it properly) propably 12-15 minuts drive.

Number 3) is off lower cascade road, not bad, get preatty cold though.

Hey guys. I've finally arrived. I'm staying just at the woolstore until i move into a place near the casino. I spotted a few skylines already on Saturday when i arrived. I spotted an orange 33 with the plates GTAAH(is it actually a GTR???), a purple 33 GTR, a green 32 gts-t(looked nice) and a black gts-t. I also spotted a nice blue R33 during the drive down as i entered Hobart. Any of you guys???

Anyway after the trip my car is dirty a sh*t and was just wondering is there any good carwashes around the place because i haven't had much time to look around for one.

Cheers,

Johnny

GTAAH is powered by RB26 hence the plates, id say its Grimo's purple GTR, dont know any green GTS-t, only know Lukes GTR and i can think of about 8 black 32 GTS-t's off the top of my head :P

If your after a brushless car wash then there are a couple around: Hungry Jacks/Shell servo in North Hobart, Shiners in Moonah or on the Brooker, great wash bay in Kingston (oppostite the Golden Arches)

Have to organise a meet up when everyone is free so you can meet all the guys and put some faces to names :)

Hey mate,

Welcome to Hobart!!! Pity you didn't come a few days earlier, you could have caught the opening round of the Tassie Drift Series, would have been an ideal place to meet everyone. Oh well, have to have a meet up instead. Be good to show you around and if you need anyone to show you the roads, my hand is up :):P

Hope to see you round

Yeah I didn't think the orange 33 was a GTR but it did sound pretty tough.

Yeah i would have liked to watch the drifting. Used to go occasionally on friday nights in sydney. By the looks of it there are a fair bit of nice and twisty roads around. Not sure where to go so you might have to help me out with them.

A guided tour of Tassies best driving roads......sounds like a job I was born to do :huh:

Seriously, you could spend 2 straight weeks 600k's a day driving Tassie and still not get all the good roads in.

MMM thinking cruise FTW ! meet up at Aquatics center, through geilston bay, grass tree, sorell macca's and back along the highway????

Yeah well i'm up for a cruise whenever you guys are. I've heard good things of these tassie roads and can't wait to drive on them.

Also do any of you guys know a good smash repair place here because i finally have to get my car fixed and need to get some quotes for insurance. I just some small damage on the rear of it and the front lip has broken a clip.

I have seen great work out of a few places, Brighton smash repairs a mate had some work done on his 32 there was immaculate! maybe Minty's in mornington rd but they are expensive, Hobart Crash repairs

Thanks.

I'll have a look into those places. I have to go to atleast one that they tell me to. Hobart smash repairs was one of them. I'll try get a quote from them and maybe that brighton smash repairs.

Well tell him thanks for parking in the woolstore last night for whatever reason because i couldn't find any parking and had to go to a carpark a block away. :thumbsup:

Just leave your car at work, probably safer :happy:

    • I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol
    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something
