HEATERS 😂

Hi joel, i agree heaters are the go lately😎 so one big advantage of having a radiator IN the front of ya kombi is this little door....

primitive... but hot👍

I got my cuban cigars and sombraro ready for the cruise already, we could leave tomorrow with the way the car is prepped.

there will be alot of waiting for me now 🙁 DAM IT!

What's the weather outlook? Pissing down where I live - Newcastle - and I'm camping! Damo, whatzit doing up there?

U guys got the gale force winds down there too?

Looked on the radar.................seems it will be fine and mild and NO rain in sight.

ripper - I got soaked last time! Not much fun in a Cab, but my Melbourne mate thought it was normal

I suppose I could 'crash' a cabin 😂

cold as winter should be, but not miserable...........go the link Rose has on the first page, checks out fairly accurate so far

cold nights for sure

well my cousin needs all the time he can get to finish off his 56 bus. When i saw it friday it was in undercoat with some final touches to be done before colour goes on. not to mention no motor,gearbox,brakes and then has to put the interior and all exterior trim in and get it registered before the end of this week. apparantly Troy and he did an allnighter last night but i tried to call but no answer.....

i'm bringing warm clothes and a heater for the tent well marquee actually......

Alder's will be there in numbers this year.... like 8 of us!!!(plus some ring ins)

always looks good up that way

This will be my first Valla. I so can't wait, gunna be awesome!

Cold? 10 degrees at night? Man thats luxury.. I'll be peeling layers off!!

Been bitterly cold at night here in country Vic.. 1 or 2 degrees at times. Going to work at around 8am and it was 3 degrees the other day.. Ice on the windscreen, the works. Hate to live in Canberra.. The other day they had -2 at night.. brrr..

Crikey, us Queenslanders are in for a shock then!! I'll be packing the winter woolies for sure. I'm pumped - my first Valla and I get to convoy with a heap of lovely people on Friday.

down to 4 tonight.....thats enough to kill a Queenslander👍

we'll be alright Pat... being that cold should be a quick spontaneous death for us qld-erz

Ahh harden up kids. When i used to detail cars full time it'd be a 7am start most days with no gloves playing with water. Usually by 9.30ish colour and feeling started to return.......

And the whole time I did this i was driving my Kombi with no heaters. If it was bitterly cold for me I'd wear long pants or throw a blanket over my legs as I had an airleak somewhere under my dash that would blow right onto your right leg halfway up your shin. Leg would start to go numb after a while!!

When driving to Valla it would be wrap myself in a blanket and steer with one hand. When that hand went numbish it was time to swap over lol.

HP over heaters??? Well that was the case when I was younger but getting older and a lil more wiser these days means more comprimising on certain things and trying to have the best of both worlds.

cold.. pffft.. HARDEN UP AUSTRALIA! 😵‍💫

Anyone besides me leaving SouthCoast Nowra 6am ish on Friday morning for the trip to Valla or should i catch up with some cruisers leaving from sydney.
