Hows Penrith?

If your car look nice and neat, and you stay away from the plaza on a thursday night you'll be fine.

If you're driving a fish tank with crap hanging off every corner and no springs you'll probably attract more attention than you'd want.

To put things in perspective I've 3 skylines, all of them kinda noisey and fast looking and I've had no troubles. I used to cruise around a lot on thursday nights too. I usually don't do skids around every corner though, and I don't have "P"ull me over plates either.

Another thing, is NSW stricter than Vic in terms of policing and cars?

I'd say Victoria is stricter, in recent years they've had a lot more focus on hoons than NSW has. But in saying that, don't think you're not going to get hassled here either.

Hi folks, I may be moving to Penrith and would like some information about the place, workshops and so on.

Thanks!

Penrith is a nice place,but it is really really hot in summer,an freezing in winter,the cold i can handle but the heat eeeeew.

[Cassbo]

Not to open up a can or worms or anything, but when my parents where considering on moving to Sydney they where told that anywhere is fine... as long as it is within the the Manly Daily's distribution area. This was around 1993 mind you

Having been to Penrith an epic 6 or 7 times in my life I can truthfully say that the only bad thing I found about the place is that it is a significant drive for me to get there and back.

... but if you are planning any blue mountain's run then bring it on.

It's coming - stay tuned!

i work at penrith, nothing much to concern about, the plaza is full of gangas though

[Tree Fitty]

i get all my work done by sasha at canak autosports at production place, as for other workshops, hitman is in borec rd, also craved coatings all your powder coating needs there too.

+1 for Canak Autosports. Sasha knows his imports inside out. Does great work too.

Having lived in both cities, I can assure you that in no way is NSW as strict as VIC....

True...

nor is policing in this state as covert/clandestine as down south.

Around Penrith, there are some unmarked as well as marked police cars that patrol the straight stretches along Castlereagh Rd & Springwood Rd.

Police also hide sometimes behind bushes in 2 spots along Bells Line Of Road.

I hear from 1-2 workshops that they've had to engineer cars after being defected at night-time after meetups at Panthers' Maccas/KKs/KFC. This all happens as I'm reading a book or Zzzzzzz - and my car is Zzzzzzzzz lol

[TiTAN]

on the plus side, there is an emissions testing place there so all you have to do is wait 4 weeks for a test if they do defect you and make you take one.

[Yo-Yo]

Wow, I just love Hills people. All snobbery, no class.

Penrith's fine. And there are Japanese imports aplenty. Have been for about five years now. Probably since the last time the Hillsong mob slummed it down there on missionary work. Hallellulah!

You have a great day now.

AMEN BROTHER! lol

although I *think* the hillsong zombies do have a holdout in minchinbury? *shudders*

used to run the vodafone shop in Rouse Hill Town Centre, ugh gimme the riff anyday

As others have said, Canak Autosports near the dick smith powerhouse

Race Solutions/Hitman just behind Nepean Motor Group

Wholesale suspension near the Heartland Holden (got the impression that they're 'love them their V8's types' but they're a good bunch in my experience )

There is no emoticon to express the trueness of this statement

[FloydWestwood]

wholesale suspension are a little like that - but they do have a softspot for the jap import.

Yes they do...

And you add class to the area too Dave.

Yep...

And Humbla is just as good looking as Kathy Bates (aka fried geen tomatoes) as well.

[MRSAMO]

Thanks guys, I don't think I will have a problem with my car then, I will definitely hook up with these workshops.

[Humbla]

What that's one of my fave movies,i'm much better looking than her.
