hi all,

i am starting a new job this week at southbank. i am trying to figure out my options for commuting to work. i can either park my car at garden city and catch the bus or park at fruitgrove/runcorn/altandi train station (all theses stations are close to where i live) and take the train to work. how safe are these places to park my car for the whole day..? i was wondering if i could get your opinions from your experiences...

thanks in advance

+1 for bike to train-o

Kuraby MIGHT Be ok because they have that huge chain meshed carpark with CCTV that looks like arthur gorie. But its still a bit iffy cos I dunno if/when they lock it.

But if it was me, I wouldnt be able to help myself, I'd just drive to work :)

EDIT: Many a nice car has gone missing from garden city mate. But again, its all about where you park, alarm/immobliser etc/

there are 1 or 2 places in South Brisbane with 'free' parking.

1 is under a building... I'm not goting to say exactly where (it's a smallish carpark), but I'd never pay for parking around the convention centre!

have a look around on the weekend. I'm sure you'll find a spot or 2.

drive to sunnybank plaza (turn to 2nd access on your left after mccullough just after the bus stop heading towards the city) and park at the upper level of the carpark for free parking with a security guy stationed there.

then catch a bus to southbank.

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old

      Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.

      Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!

      I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?

      What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
