Trams are free to GP ticket holders
Oops, free travel only from city to circuit. If you're coming from anywhere else, then you require a normal MetCard ticket.

(As the person at Yarra Trams pointed out, I would already have a ticket, because I've caught the train into the city in the first place.)

Shell> I visited melb about 3 weeks ago. If your arriving at Tulamarene airport (not Jetstar Avalon) you can buy a one way ticket with Skybus which departs to the city frequently. Costs $13 pp. If there's 3 of you, you might catch a taxi which will cost around $40-45. Also Skybus have a drop off and pickup service for free but i think it applies if ur staying in the city area. I have heard good things about Fitzroy St St Kilda but didnt have the chance to go there as I only had a chance to visit city, Chapel st and Brunswick st.

I found Melb to have an abundance of good restaurants and cafes and esp shopping as well as very friendly ppl. 2 Thumbs up!

Shell:

I will be able to pick you up from airport. How many people?

Mobile: 0417 037 520

I'll wait at the BP servo next to the airport carpark at 8.30pm. Call me when you are out the front of the terminal (at the taxi ranks/bus stops) and I'll swing past.

:) :) :(

i was happy after the first laps of qualifying on Sat... but it all went downhill after that! damn Ferraris... hehe

Paul... I went to France Soir! very nice... couldn't face the snails lol, but was a great meal and a really nice night. Very cheeky waiter though ;)

You guys are so lucky...Melbourne is so nice!!!

we had our dumbass tourist moment when we bought a Metcard thingy for the train (a day one) and then went and bought another one for the tram cos we didn't realise you could use the same one :P

was planning on going to the factory outlets on monday but they were all closed cos of the public holiday...so we went to the motor show instead (we didn't even know it was on!)

and then we found ourselves at Spencer St station, and came across Sherriffs Mini Cars where i bought myself a purple R34 GTR... it's gorgeous!!! i could have spent hours in that shop hehe ;)

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
