So jealous of your car scene in Melbourne I’d love to be able to kick back and watch that many nice cars idle by.

Don't be too jealous. Hwy patrol here go on frequent rape rallies. It's almost not worth going out these days
Haha every Melbourne car enthusiast knows the 3 spots that are always action-packed. Thursday/Friday/Saturday nights from about 9pm-5am the place to be is the 'Princess Drags' ( Princess highway anywhere starting from Noble Park all the way just past Chadstone shopping Centre. If you're driving, there during that time don't be surprised too realistically have anywhere from 0 to 10 or 15 cars at the red light all booting it. If burnouts are more your thing (or watching) then usually Wednesday night is (i won't be to specific for the jacks seeing this) a northern suburbs industrial estate. Some weeks there are 100+ cars and hundreds of people. Then on the weekends, the south-east burnouts get a good turnout) - again without specifics head to Carrabine Markets entrance and wind your window down. There's two big industrial estates very close. The one on the right is usually the pick but sometimes the left (cough tennis cough) is rocking. Most of all, DRIVE SAFE. Don't push your limits. And if you haven't spent a few hours on a skid pan don't be the idiot who puts others' lives at risk trying to impress people in a 300rwkw car that you have owned for a few weeks!
