pretty much any unique places / experiences that are special to Melbourne

Also any good gigs/events by any chance? we'll be there between the 16 &17th of Nov

guessing your going to be in the cbd? id say you could hit up the city anywhere from crown through to melbourne central every street has something pretty much or chapel street during the day for shopping / coffee etc or if you want a shopping centre you'd go chadstone but doubt you'd come to melbourne to do that.

Cheers Alex, yeh we'll be mostly in the CBD, prob heading out to St Kilda also

just interested to know if there are any gems food / drinks / chillout wise that you guys enjoy down there, as that's where id see most of my coin going

Jump on a gig guide to see whats on in music wise coming up. Yer i agree with above with st kilda is good for cafes and kicked back lunchs. Around the cbd is endless small cafes down alley ways. Stay away from King street lol

for something different food-wise in CBD try Passionflower for dessert platters and stuff. definitely unique. For a good good cocktail bar, look up Berlin Bar.

If you like beer and are in St Kilda, cant go wrong with 600 Beers :P

haha thanks for the response fellas, gentlemens club prob not on the menu atm but the bump is appreciated

heard good things about st kilda, will prob be spending half a day there

even just people fav local eateries would be good, doesn't have to be fancy

cheers again

Brunswick St. Fitzroy / Chapel St. Prahran / South Bank / Crown Casino / Docklands / The Strand. Williamstown.

Federation Square, let us know what you think of the building... ie. Looks like shit or a work of architectural master piece :laugh:

Luna Park = LOL!

St. Kilda = decent beach

Thy Art Is Murder is playing on the 17th but if you are not into loud music, don't bother.

But I will be there :)

Where about are you staying at? CBD?

If so, everything is pretty much there.

On foot / taxi / tram will get you around.

I was more so referring to the "night workers" at St Kilda :whistling:

:rofl:

They work the corners hard there man!

There is New York Pizza Deli (NYPD) on 47 Fitzroy Street St Kilda VIC 3182.

Good pizza's there and the garlic slice pizza is good too!

Luna Park = LOL!

St. Kilda beach = LOL!

fixed.

Big Mouth in St Kilda has good value food. If you venture towards Balaclava, Gattica has brilliant food and arguably incredible coffee. Theres also a weird yogurt place in Balaclava called Yo-Chi, which is pretty intense.

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
