hi all,

i am starting a new job this week at southbank. i am trying to figure out my options for commuting to work. i can either park my car at garden city and catch the bus or park at fruitgrove/runcorn/altandi train station (all theses stations are close to where i live) and take the train to work. how safe are these places to park my car for the whole day..? i was wondering if i could get your opinions from your experiences...

thanks in advance

+1 for bike to train-o

Kuraby MIGHT Be ok because they have that huge chain meshed carpark with CCTV that looks like arthur gorie. But its still a bit iffy cos I dunno if/when they lock it.

But if it was me, I wouldnt be able to help myself, I'd just drive to work :)

EDIT: Many a nice car has gone missing from garden city mate. But again, its all about where you park, alarm/immobliser etc/

there are 1 or 2 places in South Brisbane with 'free' parking.

1 is under a building... I'm not goting to say exactly where (it's a smallish carpark), but I'd never pay for parking around the convention centre!

have a look around on the weekend. I'm sure you'll find a spot or 2.

drive to sunnybank plaza (turn to 2nd access on your left after mccullough just after the bus stop heading towards the city) and park at the upper level of the carpark for free parking with a security guy stationed there.

then catch a bus to southbank.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
