You'll hear no mention of the rugby from me ! 🙂

Its very very warm over here right now......broke all previous records .....for something like 200 years yesterday.......you lot will laugh I think it was something like 100F......although its apparently going to be even warmer later in the week.....that christ for our air cooled wagens ...the amount of late models/ rice burners I've seen overheated last week was mad...as I clattered past with no problems at all !! 😀

hey, blue70... welcome to OZ.

Robo ·

Dont worry blue the heat's no laughing matter! we will be in for it in a few months! I spose the best thing about a heatwave is the fact that it gives you a good excuse to get stuck into a few extra beers!

Yeah, a friend just got back from there and commented on it - and he's a Maori living in Kal (an outback town on the edge of the desert.) He definitely isn't mentioning the Rugby at the moment!

Blue70 ·

thats true....but its never one nor the other is it !

its either so cold your hands get welded to your door handle when you touch it....or its so hot you can't actually sit in the car !!! :cussing

I always have the beach towel on the seat in summer to stop the bum burning on the seat🙁:sandrine

Blue70 ·
