Thought i'd say hi to all

I've just moved down from Brissy, and I'm living in Thornbury. If you recognise my car around, toot and say hi, or whatever

A bit of help for the newbie pls

Where's the good driving at? (I'm a fan of mountains)

Where are the racetracks?

Can anyone tell me names of car clubs are devoted to track days?

Good workshops around thornbury area?

Good panel beaters/paintshops?

Best Tyre place around (& alignments)?

Performance stores around?

Thanks heaps

Michael

Thornbury... only 15 mins (if that) from me and a few other western-side members

there is PLENTY of good places for a fang out our way, and definitely a lot out east way too.

We have regular cruises... so watch the EVENTS SECTION.

Myself or Snowman are doing the organising so come along to the next meet.

Race track - (well drag strip) for you is Calder Park Raceway.

Located on the Calder Highway, im up there from time-to-time.

Car Club - We are a car club in vic (almost).

For track days. NDSOC do them... but we are doing some affiliation etc.

Discussion is still going on, and info will be provided shortly.

Workshops - Plenty.

One of the forums members, Dr_drift works in Coburg.

My car goes where he goes, so yeah, he knows his stuff.

There is a Dyno Day at his place of work in 3 weeks (see events section)

Tyres/alignment - I can ask around. I've never had a need yet.

My car will be on the road, and i'll be going for a burn down our Great Ocean Road (good drive)

Your more than welcome to come along with me and a few others.

Welcome to Melbourne Michael.............Guy's u'll scare him right back to brissy at this rate!!

[riggaP]

Welcome. Thornbury is the next suburb to me. I'll say hello if I see ya round You should be easy enough to spot as there aint many 32s round here

[46n2]

Thanks to all for the welcome

I saw a black 33 today (don't know what st I was on) around 3-4 near Brunswick st somewhere. I gave a wave but no reply :

I'll keep my eyes on the event's section and tag alog to an upcoming cruise - so keep your eyes open for the endangered white 32 what is with that. I've only seen one 32 since I've been in VIC and that was when I was down over the new year in Box Hill?? :confused:

I'm a bit worried about what may be coming in the mail from NSW from the drive down : nothing major - if anything maybe 10kph over or something, but still could be bad if there are a few.

Question: If a speed camera in VIC takes a snapshot during the day, would I see the flash? how would I know (aside from a letter in the mail)?

R31Nismoid : well i guess it's all happenin' on the wesss-i-ee-da ;p thanks for the info, and I should be at the dyno day. Apparently Coburg's only a few minutes away from home

ylwgtr2 : thanks where is lake mountain and the black spur? how far out of town...

INASNT : I've never really thought about it, but here's my guess - a small city slapped in the middle of Nucking Fowhere - just like vegas...

doxximus : H-pattern? - what they can defect you for that?!?

R31_Gurl : thanks...I think they've already scared me but I'll stick around for as long as I have a license (2 weeks hahaha)

riggaP : shibby, I'll see you around that wasn't u today was it

See you all around,

Michael

You mean near Brunswick St? Nah, was at uni most of the day. My car is not genuine black as I've added a blue pearl so you'll know if its me
