Hey all

I dont know if this is the right place to post this or not, but....where are some good places to go to for a cruise??? Exams are stressing me out, and I usually take some time off atleast once a week to go for a bit of a cruise. I live in the S.E suburbs and to date, I have gone around the dandy mountains, up to frankston and along beach road to st kilda, and all the way past lysterfield - which then connects to the dandy mountains (i think). Any where else that anyone from vic can recommend - something scenic and without heavy traffic (without having to go to the great ocean road etc)???

Maybe keep heading past frankston, head to the coast at Mornington, go South along the Esplanade, around the mini-GOR at Mt Martha, wave to me sitting at home, go under the new tunnel at Martha Cove (you get to drive under the water!) all the way down to Aurthurs Seat, go up and down Authurs seat a few times.

A nice 2-3 hour drive.

HIGHLY reccomend the authors seat drive. and its surrounding areas.

me and a mate used to go there every now and again. once leaving the top way (i geuss thats the best way to describe it. ie: when youve gotten to the top you keep going) if you keep going in that direction its a great place to cruise. however i get the feeling its a bit out of your way.

cheers. james.

The black spur run is good fun, but can be a little dangerous if you aren't used to twisty bits.

the Calder up to Echuca from Melb is a nice little drive, relatively straight and plenty to look at cause of all the little towns.

ditto for the Hume. stop at the Ettamogah)pub. it's AWESOME.

also the ( i know this is over used, but i love it ) Great Ocean Road is always a classic drive and a real challenge to do it at the speed limit the whole way.

finally, anywhere up around Healsville or out past Ferntree Gully is some nice mountainous terrain.

the most important thing to remember is that the tempation to speed and have a little fun is always there, but do your best to ignore it. most of these corners are challenging enough at the posted speed limit, so no point breaking it :)

(edited for spelling)

black spur is very good but its not a round trip unfortunately. Also if your headed up there at 2am, so roads will be quiet, make sure there hasnt been any rain that day, unless you like sliding.. which i dont

Also try the road from heidelberg - king lake. Its ony about a 45 minute drive but mostly through forests ending at a national park. Not to bad a road, very thin and some very sharp corners, but good fun.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
