28th Feb - Great Ocean Road #3

[xRHETTx]

I can also pick my passenger up as long as theyre on my route from mt martha to warrigul rd.

Within reason of course.

[Daz]

My car still is not on the road fcuk.

Iam in Glen Waverley anyone want to pick me up?

[NismoR34]

The fixed camera's along the highway are not in use yet. I drive along there twice a week at 100kph+ (very early in the morning, hardly any cars at all) and have never received a speeding fine.

I wouldnt be so sure dude...

2 weeks ago I got a nice letter in the mail from Vic Police advising me that although they are currently not fining people, they caught my car doing 106 Kmh on the western ring road [outbound heading towards deer park / keilor]. The notice basically said: pending the outcome of the system testing I may or may not be fined

BEWARE! The cameras are still snapping away and you MAY still end up with a fine.

BTW, I will be around the Torquay area on the 28th for my Mum's birthday so if I can meet you guys somewhere along the way I will but I may be stuck at the beach havin a bbq and beer!

Have fun!

[fooey]

Anyone else in S/E that plan on going but don't have an E-tag?

Snowman's route takes you on the Citylink and I refuse to get an e-tag based on principle

Otherwise I might have to go solo until I get to one of the other meet points

[Blade]

Snowmans route takes us through citilink?

How much does it cost

Dont we get a fine if we dont have one...

[fooey]

Its almost 10 bucks for a whole day pass... not worth it since we're only going on one if not two gantries (one way)

or you can get some other method where you pay normal gantry rates plus a $1.20 licence plate matching fee per gantry or something...

All in all, I've never needed to have one and I don't want to have to get one for this

And if you forget or whatever, then yeah its like a $100+ fine

seems to be the case...but i guess if people dont have etags nor want to buy day passes then there are otherways to get there just like the last GOR cruise

[Blade]

damn oh well, do u book a day pass over the phone?

[XplodeSkyline]

head though torak rd?? well do the ppl goin the long way wanna neet up, 20min earlier, and head off to meet up with everyone else at the same time???

Daz: if you need a ride i might have a shotgun empty, so i'l pm you sooner to the event

I used to feel the same way about the Citylink mate until I used it for the first few times. It still shits me paying but it makes travelling so much easier and quicker. I went from Officer to Calder Park today and it took me less than 50 mins.

I dont have an etag, so will prob be heading down toorak rd if thats ok. What the official route? Can i get a pm or email about it?

Daz- i can also pick you up if you want a ride in a almost stock 32

Yeah, that's on the Ring Road. I'm talking about the Princess Freeway. The camera's along there were not activated before they had the calibration issues with all the other camera's in Victoria.

[Jamezilla]

For the SE no-eTag people:

Go with Snowman's team but exit at Toorak Rd.

Head up the hill toward the city - I'll be waiting at the Shell servo in Sth Yarra.

Follow me to rejoin freeway off Kings Way - and catch up to the other group.

Also...

Anyone going through the tunnel, may these photos lead to some inspiration

[fooey]

If there is a few of us not wanting to take Citylink we could go in together...

but re-joining Snowman (and citylink people) would be a bit hard unless there is another stop point, then that would mean they would have to wait.

The easiest thing is (non-citylink people) probably leaving a bit earlier.

[FATGTS-R]

Any other R31s going?

[Daz]

Thanks Xplode and Rhett I'll pm you guys later on in the week

[GTSR22]

hey fat GTSR we might come along for the ride but dont no yet

and also what piont are you meeting up at ?

Its almost 10 bucks for a whole day pass... not worth it since we're only going on one if not two gantries (one way)

it is not $10 for the sections you are using. E-Tag's aint that hard to use/work out.

you can pay by section, or get a day-pass.

please yourself. They aint 'THAT' bad.

You have upto 3 days from travel to pay for your useage. So you'd have till Tuesday to pay at any citilink branch, Shell Servo... and a number of other places.

As clarkey said, he hated it once, so did i.

But if you dont want to go e-tag... i suggest you leave much ealier from the meet point. All the by-roads that need to be taken etc.

But at the end of the day.... what is $5-$10 when your going to be buring over $50 in fuel, food and everything else?

seems pretty trivial doesnt it?

[R31Nismoid]

Yeah, that's on the Ring Road.  I'm talking about the Princess Freeway.   The camera's along there were not activated before they had the calibration issues with all the other camera's in Victoria.

Ok, enough of speed camera's.

If people wanna speed on the free-ways, dont whinge when you get a letter in the mail.

end of story.

[ferni]

I should be picking up my R33 GTR early this week - and this sounds like a good way to break it in - I won't know anyone but i'm still keen to come
