EXR6T Member 224 Member For: 17y 8m 2d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 09/06/08 09:31 AM Share Posted 09/06/08 09:31 AM Hey guys,well im moving to Tasmania for work and I was wondering if there are any good tuners in Tasmania to tune and service my T? because I was planning on taking my T with me.also is there a race track or anything fun to do down there in the car except for running over animals (I hear there is alot of them on the roads)..also I couldnt find a tasmanian section on the forum? is that because they are all related down there or something? or arent there enough people on here from Tasmania?hmmm anyway should be an interesting journey, hopefully it wont be too boring down there with the car, although ill be pretty much flat out with work anyway.luckily I'll be going on the next VIC cruise as its about 3 days before I leave...cheers, Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/46508-moving-to-tasmania/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roads around hobart a great, especially down south, but its just a pity there isnt really much road.........there is really only one way to get somewhere down here and once you've done it, that's it. I live right on the main street of Hobart (Davey St) and I see a about 4 T's a week, there are a couple of car clubs down here too, just have to hunt around when you arrive I spose?? Well hopefully ive be seeing ya,xr0500 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/46508-moving-to-tasmania/#findComment-690759 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get on THE highway(pretty much only one to get everywere) and turn off somewere and you should find a pretty decent road. Symmons plains and baskerville get a pretty good run with guys going to them all the time, haven't been myself yet but I'm sure you will find some info.The drag strip is well... xrmartO said: Its as if they just whacked a bit of crappy road in the middle of nowhere and said lets race on it.It is in need of a bit of TLC but it still somewere to race without the hassles of the :oohwoah: .I'm sure the boys in Hobart will point you in the right direction for things to keeps you occupied.Glen Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/46508-moving-to-tasmania/#findComment-691364 Share on other sites More sharing options...
