GPS of course, is a great boon to travelling from A to B + it saves domestic disputes (big time).

But when you're funnelled into gridlock somewhere, even a belated alternative route may not be able to get you out of that fix - and we all know what Sydney roads are like Fri to Mon!

So tell us what your favourite "Shortcuts" are!

Help us!

Post #2 is an example...

Terry why not just create it on google maps, much easier to digest than a long list.

I'd avoid burwood road and canterbury road, both a pretty congested no matter what time of day, this is my tried and tested:

not working for me mate

but if you mean eastbound on canterbury rd towards king georges, there's a pretty long bypass along hillcrest st, winner, although during school term gotta go back onto canterbury one road earlier

Fortunately...

The section of Canterbury Rd I'm talking about is only for 100m

The section of Burwood Rd is only for 1.2Km southbound along a quiet stretch

Thanks for the link > I do need to shed my geriatric brain and experiment with google maps :)

    • 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.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
