Leaving VIC!

[Frunknmont]

Maybe it was just the flamage from a Skyline exhaust they saw but never having seen a car that far north before they thought it was a dragon :wassup:

ROFL!!! I think you just solved the phenomenon Adam! Those South QLD'ers are gonna be dissapointed when they find out there's no dragons in the Far North!

BWAHAHAHAHAAA FAARK IT'S A DRAGON!

[Lukas]

Anyone done a big move like this before??? Been getting quotes off a number of removalist companies... BIG BUX!!! I am looking at forking out anywhere between $4K - $5K to move a couple beds, TV, a few cartons etc... ROFL!

[predator]

Yeah, its shit isn't it. You could always do what I did, I flogged off nearly everything I owned on ebay.. suckers paid 3/4 to 4/5 what I paid for them. Bed, washing machine, fridge, tv, etc..

You lose maybe a $200 on each item... but you can move to QLD and buy it all back again brand new . Cost me about $1k that way

What I had left at the time all fit in the R33

I always though the other idea.. was to rent a budget truck.. for like a few days.. Open up the dash, disconnect the odometer - drive it to wherever with all your stuff, and then plug the odometer back in. Of course this may be highly dodgy / illegal / fraudulant, if you crashed you're in BIG trouble..lol

Yeah, I'm thinking about having a garage sale before I go, see how much stuff I can get rid of. Can't fit too much in the 33 LOL! Did you drive up? I'm gonna drive up, should be a pretty cool drive, not looking forward to the stone chips and bugs though!!! I'll give your last suggestion a miss mate!

[predator]

You could also try a few of the forsale forums.. trading post, etc as well. Didn't take me too long actually.

It's surprising what you can fit in a R33.. you can stack up a heap of boxes across the back seat..

You do get a nice collage of bug splatters.. took me months to get the damn bugs outta the front bar and cooler! Stone chips aren't too bad as long as you don't sit up the ass of cars should be right.

just remember don't park at the side of the road and leave the door open or this may be the result:

[Lukas]

OH SHIT!!! Bad luck with door!!! That's bad, I won't be doing that....

The bugs don't look too bad. Yeah I've been told not to drive at dusk, coz the locusts and stuff come out like mad and yeah trucks are great for sand blasting your front end.

[predator]

should be right for locus' .. i drove back around xmas time to melb and back, and there were stuff all, except just over the VIC border. I drove just after sunset too... although you do get more bugs at night because they love splattering themselves on the headlights .. the kangas are the things you need to watch out for at dawn/dusk.

locus aren't as bad as they make out, well anyhow, not that I saw..

[Lukas]

Thought I'd post some pics of where I will be living in 3 weeks time! :wassup:

Town...

The Esplanade...

The Lagoon...

Rainforest...

I like fishing...

[INASNT]

I been to all those places.

The best part about cairns is that there are always tourists around and lots of hot chicks walking around the main town in bikinis

Cairns is also full of weird Austrian tourists doing nasty things to nature!

[Lukas]

HAHAHA classic mate, yeah I know and the freaks that hang out on the Esplanade and sleep under the park benches!

Hey Bec, I should be outta here within the next 2 weeks. I am heading up there tomorrow for a couple of days, just to sort some stuff out, then back here to sort some more stuff out.... aaaagh, it is a very stressful time at the moment, I just want to go.

"when are you actually leaving???" ... uuummm are you hanging for me to leave or something? hehehe ... I know you'll miss me driving past your house 10 times a day hey?!
