hats off to your dedication, to save 45minutes i would pay a LOT lol

Actually one interesting thing about that...

My mole of an ex used to work at Cannon Hill.

I'd drop her off at work in the morning, and then make my way over to work at the airport.

One week I did the gateway (timed each run, counted up tolls and fuel at the end of the week)

Next one I went over the Story Bridge and through New Farm (timed each run, counted up fuel at the end of the week)

I didn't get a single gateway run under an hour, and it cost me more in fuel and tolls. Story Bridge runs took between 27-38 minutes depending on how many red lights I got.

This was not in school holidays or anything either, just normal work/school days.

Oh, and driving through all the suburbs there were school girls to look at. Faster, cheaper, and JB :(

yeah gateway sucks ass, but in the instance where the tunnel was actually faster like you said I would pay, I avoind the gateway like the plague at the moment

Te37s on GTS and GTT look shit, the offset on the fronts is always lame, same problem i had with the really cheapshit impuls on the R32, nice at the back terrible at the front

Agree. But I think all wheels that are staggered width/offset look shite.

John doesn't care about that because he refuses to use toll roads.

I wish I could own a road. Hats off to the scum that came up with them it's nearly as good as the lottery.

i too am a believer to dodge that shit like the plague - but i mean $4.30 for what - 2km?

such a dog act

If it's quicker people will use it.

Baller. Sick life.

Yeah it all comes down to how much you value your time. Even if it cost me $20 in tolls to save 45 mins it would still be worth it. Oppurtunity cost bitches.

I'd just take the cheaper option, even if it's longer. I've got music to listen to :(

yeah i could use that 45 minutes to do some of my on the side consulting work and make $100.....but truth be told i would probably just get on the PS3 :( ha ha

That and I already pay rego. I shouldn't have to pay anymore road costs

I'll agree with youn there :(

But when it comes down to it if the toll road is faster, I'll probably use it if the fee is not excessive. $4.30 is pretty excessive, I doubt I will be using the tunnel much

everyone should boycott tolls for 1 week. to protest the price.

remind me to stay off the road that week though.

someone start a facebook group about it. see how fast 92000 people join :(

Kinda like the petrol boycotts. If you actually got EVERYONE in the state/country to do it it might work, but otherwise its just a waste of time.

    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
