When we left Qld it was sunny 23 deg. Arrive in melb at 4.30pm to be greeted by rain and 10 deg!
That really sux! Especially after 2 1/2 weeks of perfect cobra weather. All Qlders should drive convertibles! And those who do (cobras don't count as nobody in Qld has softtops) are generally morons b/c everyone I saw had the top up! Go figure?
Only problem moving up there, to Mooloolaba at least, is the house prices are just as bad/expensive as Melb.
You Qlders did teach me some bad driving habbits! Eg Got on the Bruce Fwy for the brekky meet at about 5.45am (2hrs away). Put on thr cruise at 110kph (limit) as ya would do in raining Vic only to be passed by everyone!
It reminded me of Vic about 10 years ago when everyone was at least 10kph over the posted limit. But what suprised me more was the amount of cars doing 20 to 40 kph over!
Do that in Vic and you'll be catching the bus - which speed as well in Qld - Everything speeds!!! Another reason to move north!
Next time I got on the Bruce I thought Fudge It! When in Rome...
Craig I went in a ride that may blew your beast away for thrills
It was called the "Tower Of Terror" (TOT) at Dreamworld. 0 to 160kph in 7 secs and 4.5 G! Being one big eletro magnet I think most of the acceleration say 2/3 happened in the first 1/3 of the track hense the 4.5 G. After blasting to 160kph the track turns 90 deg straight up a the TOT which stands at 115metres tall. Not surprisingly you slow and eventually fall backwards for about 6 secs b4 returning back to the horizontal. What a Rush!
Now, back to the tread - Craig go Chev!
Cheers
