$80 or so to fly over, $180 for a business class seat..

And its easy to re-register.. just a normal pits.. check the engine mounts, tyres, lights, wipers/washers, seatbelts.. just the usual..

Don't forget to factor in the Spirit of Tasmania costs if you choose to pick it up yourself. It's subsidised now, and only costs $65 to take a car one way, but it's between $130-200 for a passenger fare and up to $400 I reckon for a cabin (been a few months since I did it). Cheaper to book your car in and hide in the boot :banana:

haha cheers guys, I fly for pretty much nothing as my old man works with qantas. So just spirit costs etc. I think I'll buy a sat-nav to show me the way to the spirit too! :(

Last time I picked up a car (I have done this twice now) it cost $80 for the flight that morning, $65 to take car on spirit, and like $90 odd for a shared 4 birth cabin. Cant remember the exact price for the shared cabin but it wasnt much.

Now, sharing with 4 randoms might freak some people out, but its better than sharing with 40 randoms in the seated overnight area, as you get an actual bed and shower, and doesnt cost much more.

This is by far the cheapest option, and comfortable too, hence why I did it twice!!!

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • 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.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
