Why is everything Id like to buy on the wrong side of Melbourne lol
When I was cabinet hunting, some great deals on the lower eastern side
When I was kitchen table hunting, some lovely settings around the lower easter suburbs
When I was horse hunting, all the good deals way down south
And now Im outdoor setting hunting, some lovely and unique well priced settings again, all on the wrong side of Melb
(me being chicken **** and wont drive through it)

[newhue]

now go get your keys and go for a drive, do one thing every day that scares you.

when i was a lad going to school a woman who lived on the outer northside of brisbane was so terrified of driving thru the city center of brisbane she took a 2 hour drive taking only right hand turns (she couldnt see left very well) to drop her two kids off at school at rosalie..

no idea how long it would take her to get home or how long she was there before she had to set off on the right hand only trip to pick them up...

i kid you not...

[1976_michelle]

right.. hand.. turns.. wow, the worst way to go.

The two ford shoppings were the wrong side too, then there was the tas trip (though in was ok, early morning, just out on the homeward journey was fun)

It's funny but getting out of sydney with the disco didn't bother me near so much a anything to do with Melbourne.

ah well will continue to window shop!

It's those dicky right turns from the left lane in the city that confuses people.

My motto when driving anywhere is "When in Rome drive as Roman do". Just go with the flow and imitate the way locals drive and you'll be right.:)

[Davo]

Geez, what are you complaining about? Everything I want is either on the other side of the country, or the other side of the world, or is in a bikini and won't talk to me!

[Bigbjorn]

God, what is the problem. Nowhere in Victoria other than Mildura is more than a mornings drive from Melbourne. From Brisbane, 3 1/2 hours only gets you to Goondiwindi, Chinchilla, or Maryborough.

[rangieman]

Easy pick what ya want pay for it , I pick it up drive in the direction of Bendigo we meet you give me a slab for my troubles you have what ya want me as well then i go to my mates in Rochester:angel:

[Redback]

Try living in NSW and you want to buy something, it's usually made in Victoria or QLD, all the best frabricators are either in Vic or QLD:twisted:

I live in Adelaide, and PREFER to drive in Melbourne..... or Sydney for that matter...

Just not with SA plates on the car...

I have those days too, my names Kenley, what does that make me.

[kenleyfred]

Cancel that. Engage brain then keyboard. The humour lay in if the K was replacing the D.

D'oh

But I hate driving with one hand on the horn and a raised finger out the window, that's why I avoid Melbourne.

[strangy]

Come to my neck of the woods... Everything is a bit of drive.

Have faith, just go with your GPS and then you have something to blame when it all ends up in a no through road.
.

[1976_michelle]

I'm in central vic, I have no issue distance its insane freeways with lane and lanes of traffic I'm not fond of

Had to laugh about the GPS, when I picked up my Display cabinet (multi glass panes) the darn gps wench tried to send me home via a road that went down the side of a steep hill and wasn't even in existance any more

nah I couldnt ask someone to do that (trailer jobbie, pain in the ass for anyone) but thank you.
you'll have to get up there and see your rochey mate soon though, bit less enjoyable trip in that direction in the summer time

SWMBO has a similar problem with driving in Melbourne. She wanted to visit her parents in Dingley (for those outside the area our farm is 120ks north west of Melbourne and Dingley is in SE suburbs). I dropped her off over a week ago. She keeps ringing but I worked out how to screen my calls.

Soon I will have to consider picking her up - or learn how to use the washing machine.:)

[Mick_Marsh]

I travel out that direction occasionally. If some organisational ability was found, I could drop you off at Southland or some other eastern burbs shopping centre (Ikea perhaps) for a few hours whilst I go on the hunt for some Landy or Merc bits.
Where are you wanting to partake in retail therapy?

[V8Ian]

Get back to work, Mick. :p

[Mick_Marsh]

Get back to work, Mick. :p
Get back to bending the banana's Ian.
RDO today.

You haven't been doing a good job. The one's we're getting down here are half straight.

[V8Ian]

You get that when you buy sub-standard imports from Coffs. ;)

My mother in law must work with the same woman, or there are 2 in Brisbane! This woman plans every journey meticulously so she only has to turn one way [I though left but maybe it was right]. The story she told my MIL was that she once had an accident when turning the other way.
