Melb so far...

[Roy]

Having moved to Melb in Feb, i was surprise to find just how different the place is.

In general it is all good so far, but i have to ask what is with Chappel Street? The car scene down here is much more Fast and the Furious with decals being more important then quality mods, or is it just the area/cars i have seen.

The pubs/clubs are great, and the ppl are far friendlier then in Sydney... and with the area im in there is a lot less imports getting around, and the term bogan, whilst the term was lost on me in Sydney, having seen plenty of Commodores on Chappel Street the other night...lets just say i now understand the bogan thing.

So when i get my car down next weekend, whats doin? Its been 6 weeks since i have driven the old girl, and 6 months since i have been on the track... i need a fix!

[sammus]

hahah somehow i don't think sau supports doing laps of chappel

[SLYSX]

Yeh chappel street is where you see all the bogans and all the F&F wannabe's struting there stuff, There is alot of Tuff cars in Victoria you just need to no where to look, you will find heaps in the East thats where most of the imports are.

[Blade]

Yeah mate stay away from CRAPLE Street...

[Roy]

Im a big believer in each to their own, but even by my standards its pretty woeful/pathetic to be doing laps around Cahppel. No offence to anyone out their that enjoys it!

Im currently living between Brunswick and Lygon, happy with the location but nothing in the way of cars. Except fo the panel beater down the road that has GT3s and TVRs etc.

I live just near Chaps - you'll see me cruising my way to Coles

Roy: Come to AutoSalon on the weekend - at the Melb Exhib Centre next to the Casino. We'll have a rather large contingent present.

[cobo_11]

yes, Melbourne people are far far friendlier than their Sydney counterparts! and I found that Melbourne as a city is much nicer to be in and around compared to Sydney...

Sydney has so much.........um.........superiority complex? the people I mean....I found them to be that way anyway......no offence to any decent Sydney-ers :-)

[doxximus]

I live just near Chaps thats why its so rotten

i knew it

[Guest RedLineGTR]

ahaah chapel street....welll....yah

[Roy]

MAS sounds like a go then.

Jamezilla... are you the same James i met at the NDSOC meeting the other week? (i was the blonde fella boring Goeff to death)

Have to say, i liked going out to the places on Chappel, just couldnt belive id walk out of a pub 3hrs later to see the same Commodore or BMW doing laps revving them up in neutral.

Hey Roy,

Whereabouts you live??

Sounds like you live very close to me.....

I live about one minute drive from Brunswick street in Fitzroy....

[Roy]

Im staying in Station Street Carlton North, but just got a place in Lygon Street.

I have seen a Black R32 GTST parked on the street between Nicholson and Brunswick, braver owner then me.

[JAGR33]

Oh sweet, only about 5 minutes from me....

[funkymonkey]

as an ex NSWer that moved to VIC... WHAT'S DOIN? lol I haven't heard sum1 say that in ages since I moved down... oh glorious what's doin?

As for the bogan scene... the "wogs" here aren't lebs n goat lovers, they're greeks n italians... now one half of em is into imports and the other half is into their commodores... dunno many of em into falcons.

Chapel St sucks ass... its full of excels with stickers n shit.

Black R32 could be me, I park in one of the streets between Brunswick n Nicholson (after Alexander Pde going towards the city) coz my gf lives there. I've got a GTS tho, but you can't tell unless you heard me drive off.

[KamikazeR33]

Roy how long u down for again?

ill try n find out when the next day is at winton if u dont already head down the the island or calder

[Roy]

So whats doin is a Sydney thing then????

Hey Funkmonkey, that GTS ive seen a few times would be you then! You seem to spend a bit of time there, has she started hitting you up for board yet?

Every Skyline i walk by i check for SAU stickers, havent seen any yet.

KamikazeR33 ... i was down for 3 months, but i just took a full time position, hence yet another change in accomodation...something a little more long term.

Winton runs 2 to 3 days a month, prob is its on Weekdays, so ill have to sweet talk work.

Im going to head down to Calder for the drags to see what i can muster. But Calder circuit, Phillip Island or Sandown are all on my wishlist of nice fast tracks i want to try out
