Amen! and unfortunately there isn't much that we Tasmanian's can do about it but protest :( mind you, a couple a years ago a friend and i drunkenly took matters into our own hands and put a homemade 'firecracker' on the CEO's door step and painted a dick on his fence.. diddn't go down too well but ...

What $50.00 for a car unaccompanied and $330 for a person, that can't be right surely. :confused: Lets not start a Spirit bashing here...but yes it can be horrendously expensive. We tried to book for Christmas this year, one car, one cabin return + Groover ($25 extra) and the cheapest we could get ...

It depends on what accomodation you book. A seat on a day sail is cheap, a cabin berth is more, overnight sailing is even more. The car is $50 (government subsidised). I have done it twice recently for under around $120 one way with a car. Johns Brumby is rego-d until april this year. Mine will be s...

Mine is in the for sale section, un rego'd,
this one is registerd in Tassie, I will find out how much it has left on it.

$50 for a car on the Spirit of Tassie ferry to Smellbourne.

It's all up for grabs... Brumby is rust free and has only a few small dents. It needs paint and is being done in a week or two, white paint and poly tray liner.

Welcome to the club Parker.

New or very sharp bits, Work your way up in hole size from pilot hole to final diameter. There is a section on each hub (the back) that needs to be ground or filed flat to get the back of the stud to sit flat. you will see when you mark the new position. Go slow with big drill bits. The hub material...

Will and Jonny I was always secretly in lust with the Biege Bomber and Monsterwagon.
And get this...I am toying with an auto and paddles on the wheel.

I am getting old.

Or sick of clutches.

It will be sad, but I am quite excited about a Sky blue wagon with lift and diesel goodness.

I am driving at a very grown up speed and am prepared to give up some handling prowess.
This will be the vehicle the family takes camping and is important that its capable off road.

Hey it was fun.
