G'day all,

First time ive popped into the VIC section!

My reason is im travelling up from good 'ol Hobart to collect my S2 R33 from Holfords motors in spotswood in a few weeks time. I'm just catching a midweek morning flight up to catch the spirit of tas home that night.

As i'm already pushing s*&t uphill to pay for the car, wondering whats the cheapest way to get from tullamarine airport to holfords, ie. bus to CBD first? i mean i wouldnt say no to a pickup :D

Cheers, Bart.

Whereis.com does acctually show the best way and it is relly easy because its all freeways...

but if you looking for a pick up, best to just come out and ask... maybe a small donation for a good samaritan could sway somebody?

:D

Convert the car to a boat less traffic :)

^^^^^^^^Seems everyone has a good idea for the quickest way, anybody done a wreckie and timed it, just teasing.

Cheers Andrew :O

I'm more than willing to reimburse whatever it costs to come pick me up, only trouble is that i dont have an exact date for when the car will be ready, makes it difficult.

Just looking at the calender, it should be ready by the 29th / 30th, anybody free during either one of those mornings?? :O:D

Cheers, Bart.

Did I hear you say you'd be bringing your prospective taxi driver a case of Tasmania's finest brewery goodness as a good will gesture?

I'm sure someone may be able to find themselves running from Tulla to Spotswood during the week for you :laugh:

How much notice will you be able to give? If i have enough notice and no other commitments, i'll give you a lift. Just cover the Airport parking fee, etc, and i'll be happy to help out.

Plan to come to Tassie soon, for a nice week-long drive :), so i'm sure i'll need your help with something :).

Its domestic, hang at the McDonalds and drive up when he rings you. :)

Good offer though. :)

I'll hopefully have a concrete date on monday arvo, id be able to give at least a weeks notice though. Im sure you can be taken on a tour of some of tassies more scenic areas, might give me a chance to take the new car for a decent length drive! You will have a PM monday evening :D

Cheers, Bart.

Just letting you know; on the weekend of the 25th, 26th and 27th i'll be in Shepparton, for SAU VIC's DECA day.

The weekend after (Sat. 2nd September) we have a SAU VIC members cruise (according to the SAU VIC events calender). You have unfortunately picked a busy period to pick up your car.

You mentioned 29th and 30th, these are work days and i will not be able to take time off work, so it all depending on what time you arrive.

Just let me know time and date, and i'll do my best :mad:

Might be a crazy idea but to save you some $$, wouldnt it be easier for someone to put it on the boat this side for you and collect it that end. You then save flights and the logistics of getting from the airport to Spotswood.

I am also assuming you can put a car on a boat with no passenger.

yeah good thinking, but im not sure you can put a car on the boat without a passenger, and id still need to get to devonport somehow to collect it ( i live in hobart). going to collect it is half the experience for me, but just trying to keep costs down.

Cheers, bart

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
