EGA41T Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I wish everything wa sonly 15 minutes away but the government has been building anew Perth to Mandurah rail link right down the Middle of the Kwinana freeway whilst this doesnt put anymore cars on the road the numerous speed changes from 100 to 60 to 80 to 60 to 100 and so forth seem to confuse people as well as the lane diversions and closures which only sloq us down as Perth drivers seem to have an inability to merge with other traffic. I drive to work in Joondalup in the mornings which is a 50k drive from my house and if I leave early enough it only takes 30 minutes but if I get stiuck in traffic it takes over an hour.Once the roadworks are done at the beginning of next year though it will all be good and I am sure anyone who lives north of Perth who has to use the Mitchell freeway to get to work will tell you how bad that is with no roadworks lol, if i get stuck in traffic in sydney it can sometimes take more than two hours to get where i need to go Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/125566-where-are-you/page/2/#findComment-2323210 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 If I go the long way, and if I get every red light and if I get stick in traffic............

Prolly even get into OD and even lock it up on a fine day. Mt. Tamborine is 1min 37secs on a foggy day and dont bother if the weather is fine. Its much better to walk. How I loooove my retirement.lollollolhahahahaha PS... It ought to be ESSENTIAL that location is part of registering.???Moderate.

Ska Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Location is not manditory And since you cant get 98RON petrol up the top, you have to travell down the goat track to the coomera BP and damn have to go shopping in Beenleigh, means that you have an AwEsOmE! little exciting drive I have 4.3kms of straight with one 90 degree turn in it, and that is about as exciting as it gets in rocky Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/125566-where-are-you/page/2/#findComment-2323725 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldZilla Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=61254been started already, but it's quite an old thread. i don't know how many of those people still have stageas I remember that thread, and I wonder where some of the old members are now... mcnamg (Glen) is back, but where did madwagon and Jay95R33 go? They were also very instrumental in the early days... Does anyone else remember any missing members from when we first started posting?

Ska Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Gary1, he was the previous owner of my stagea, and I dont see any stagea's either, at all. There is a rumour floating around that there is one in yeppoon (25kms away) but yet to see it or have anyone confirm that yet...

CruiseLiner Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 what about DRIFFT or DRIFTT i think it was from perth, he sold his ages ago though and i have spoken to him a few times since. top bloke and very helpful saft from NZ doesnt post on here very often either but he is a wealth of good info on going fast in a stagea as his dads one ran a high 11 ages ago in a rb26 rs four. thats about all i can think of.

Spammeoff Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I'm in New Zealand, city of Christchurch. Stagea's aboud here by comparison to Oz I would imagine. Checkout the high K's one on Trademe for $4500. Just about parts car money eh. ...Hope they're not reading this Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/125566-where-are-you/page/2/#findComment-2336363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnamg Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Nick, As you probably remember madwagon wrote his stagea off most likely he got something else with the insurance money and is on another forum talking about his new ride. I thought Jay sold his car as well. Brad yeah Nigel is very helpful I have also spoken to him since he sold his stagea I think he has a Chaser and a Delica now he is active on the delica discussion forums www.delicaclub.com I think he works for a RAW down near mandurah and he knows the blokes at autowholesale Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/125566-where-are-you/page/2/#findComment-2338552 Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, my sister lives in Narangba/Burpengary, so maybe we'll catch up when Im visiting her. If you dont move closer then 129 k's beforehand www.whereis.com.auVery helpful little site www.travelmate.com.au is also a very helpful site.
