Coming To Tasmania

[Humbla]

not so much warm cloths needed, more wind proof

saying that, today is amazing - sunny and cloudless will a small breeze just wearing a light jumper

but get up to some altitude and the temps will drop and your car will love you for it

when your down near deloraine or launceston look for a road called lake highway - its high and twisty and very good

I'll have to check it out,i have about a month so should be able to do an see heaps.

hit me up when youre ready for a drive in the north west!! can show you a few targa stages and some terrific corners

[Mr. Untouchable]

invest in some thermals, its chlli out, freeze the balls off a brass monkey cold.

[GODZILLA-GTR]

calm down! its not that bad!

[Humbla]

calm down! its not that bad!

I'm not as tough as you locals,my bag is so full of warm stuff i can't carry it.I'm all over the place down there,so hopefully i'll be able to catch up with some of you guys.

[GTR-N1]

^^^ I'd take up Bodie's offer about those targa stages 'n corners.

And you can show him your special way of overtaking on Macquarie Pass...

BTW

Q. For low lip cars, is it difficult to negotiate the ramps getting on/off the ship? Or just taking it at an acute angle good enough?

there isn't a massive tidal range in dev so the ramp isn't normally too bad

the only thing you might struggle with is if they put you down in the depths of ship, the ramps going down are quite steep

but i'm sure if you ask the ppl who guide you on they will let you stay on the main level

i got on fine in my stagea, but its not much lower than stock

^^^ Good points to make - thanks!

[pipster11]

i should remember to lower my car b4 i head back to qld

i always get shoved down in the depths and it takes ages to get out when you arrive cos everyone forgets how to drive

also gets you out quicker here, cos you have to go through customs incase you have fruit (not the engine sort) and you get out onto the highway ahead of the caravans and the grey menace

[Humbla]

Yeah 2 years ago when i went down there where quite a few modded low cars getting on the ship,an they had guys walking round looking under the fronts,put them in the not so steep parts,mines factory height so should be no prob,bring it on can't wait.

[pipster11]

ask them about it anyway, sucks when you get put on the bottom

and the caravans on the top

and the caravans take longer to be searched when you leave

and they drive slow

and get in the way

and tasmania lacks duel carriage way

so you get stuck behind the caravans

as you can see, i don't enjoy caravans

[BXAFTW]

so you get stuck behind the caravans

3rd gear, 6k rpm and boost..

[pipster11]

many a caravaner has experienced this, accompanied by a speeding yellow wagon

and also one probably perplexed buel/sportsbike rider

Don't think i'll have much trouble with grey nomads,to cold for em,this time of year most of em go north.

Can't beat the west coast roads, I'm originally from Rosebery live in Launnie now.

But if you do go down that way be sure to drive 99 bends, ( Gormanstan ).

[Humbla]

Ok guys,i'm sailing on this wednesday night,cam't wait wooh hooh.

[GTR-N1]

Don't talk about it! Just GO!

Yeh... Leave me with the nappy changes, wheelie bins, ironing 'n stuff

BTW, Taking many pics? Moving-Vid would be tremendous Queenstown > Gormanston

BTW, St Mayrs area has just had flash flooding - hopefully the roads are repaired by the time you get there.

Are you going clockwise or anticlockwise?

See that - you Tasmanians who are now under threat of a blind-Skyline-driver roaming your countryside! Nothing worse than a blind-Skyline-driver let loose!

So as of next Wed, stay off the streets! Tie up your children!

Still trying out your 'drive by sound' rather than 'by sight' techniques G? Perfected it yet? lol
