Thought I'd post in here, I'm having a think about possible moving to Tasmania down the line, probably had people ask this before, but whats it like down there? Currently in canberra. Is fuel more expensive? And I take it theres a few half decent import mechanics in hobart etc?

From what I heard as well the economy isn't going to bad either? I'm only just starting to think about it, but just after some info, I work in IT.

wow whoretowns busy in here lol :)

Good to see some interest in Tassie mate! It is a good place to live. The car scene is starting to liven up down here and the fuel is no more expensive than what you pay in ACT. If you work in IT, there is plenty around in your field but prob not as much coin compared to mainland prices. My mate works down the west coast as an IT guru at a mine site and he's on a good package. Come down for a cruise one weekend and check it out.

There is always the TasCommodores organised East Coast Cruise this weekend you could join in with.

Invited pretty much anybody along as long as they behave naturally.

When: Sunday 16th November

We will be meeting at the Campbell Town football oval (just north of town centre) at 10.30am in preparation for an 11.00am departure.

We will be heading east through Fingal and St Marys to St Helens where we will stop for lunch.

Then continue north through to Scottsdale and back to Launceston via the Sideling.

The cruise will entail approximately 280km and should take somewhere in the vicinity of 4 hours including the stop for lunch.

Was an absolute blast a couple of years ago in the Hatch. Not so much fun last year in the Adventra.

    • Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.
    • Followed ☺️ Assuming those are NEO rods, then at least 400kW all day.
    • Lets keep this going , Spotted this very stock V35 in Penrith and also saw a nice R32 FLY past me on Castlereagh rd , sounded really good.
    • Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.
    • I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.
