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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
