I got married in one of those or a Mustang very much like it. It was a great car and still is. Shame about the former marriage though. Once a member of a Historic Car Club. A few members had a Mustang convertible. Convertible is the way to go. |

I'll give you that one, but then I'll just take it back off you as you can't say where I mentioned 'cars'. Better luck next time Pedantic Peccary. |

Yep. Same again tomorrow in Perth. And Friday. I'm sitting here in front of a small portable airconditioner still chuckling at the email I received from Synergy last night that said "Carl, you can help save energy as well as have a lower power bill by turning off unnecessary appliances". I hope the guy next door who has his roof mounted entire house ducted airconditioner running all day again today received the same email... he even has it on all day sometimes when the maximum doesn't even get to 30 degrees. |

My AC is wonderful - I'm actually getting a bit cold now. I dropped my mother's AC setting to 23 degrees today, to get her through today and tomorrow. This hot weather is the worst thing about Perth. |

Title: Re: Elite and beautiful cars Post by Carl D on Jan 31st, 2024 at 6:27pm
Uh oh... new forecast issued 5 minutes ago... 41 tomorrow now.
http://www.bom.gov.au/wa/forecasts/perth.shtml It was 39 originally. Still 37 for Friday but I wouldn't be surprised if that goes up as well. |

Title: Re: Elite and beautiful cars Post by JaSin of Peanut Butter on Jan 31st, 2024 at 6:47pm
Weather is so fine where I live. Voted in Top 5 weather parts of the world. Lucky to hit 30C for the 'odd' hot day and doesn't get too cold in winter either. During summer, a nice cool breeze always comes in after lunch, sometimes before. Hell, I don't even have or need an Aircon. Very green, plenty of non-heavy rain too. 8-)
Must really suck where you both live. ;D |

Title: Re: Elite and beautiful cars Post by JaSin of Peanut Butter on Feb 4th, 2024 at 10:13am
27C degrees today. Letting a bit of heat into the joint today, leaving the windows open. The Cicadas tell me how hot it really is. 11:12 and there's already a nice cool breeze starting to drift in. I'll be lucky to work up a sweat just farting in Peckerhead's general sense of direction with a French accent put on the farts. ;D

Says 27 here at the moment - but the air con is on ... temperature control in oldies, you know.
Feel free to kiss our feet any time for all the sweet rides you all enjoy due to our mighty efforts at moving heaven and earth to build a better world... so many of you could throw it to the dogs supporting terrorists of various kinds including those who seize the high ground of our national parks ... To sort of quote Hunter S Thompson - you can almost see the mark where the waters of real change rose and then were stopped by walls of foolishness and stupidity - to fall back and never rise again. |

Argh FFS Grapps you old wrinkled prune of a suppository. HTFU ! Have you ever experienced places in Australia that are so hot, that flies don't even visit as Tourists of Turdspots? Have you worked in 60C+ environments down under here in Hell where the people have been burnt black? Have you ever been cooked like a shrimp on a barbie, your skin blistering in 10 minutes where Boongs cry in fear at the sight of it. C'mon Grapps. If you Whiteys were living underwater where you all belong. You're all already holding onto the rim of this country like a life-raft for starters. You wouldn't be feeling so hot now? Boong land! Get ye off it 'Whitey' shark. |

Title: Re: Elite and beautiful cars Post by JaSin of Peanut Butter on Feb 4th, 2024 at 6:42pm
Yes. It's pretty apparent that any model that deviates away from the fuel-economic & aero-dynamic general look that all models now look towards - will be branded an 'Artistic' failure.
Cars before 1950 were pretty much a work of Art. |

I have worked in 136 F mixing cement to line a water tank, was 124 F in the breezeway between the homestead and the detached kitchen so we took the thermometer out to where we were working, humidity was very low though. This was in the hills to the north-west of Hill End, NSW., in high summer. |

My new dream - Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse.
tyres cost US$25,000 per set. They can be mounted on the wheels only in France Service costs US$70,000. The Bugatti Veyron has a total of ten radiators: 3 heat exchangers for the air-to-liquid intercoolers. 3 engine radiators. 1 for the air conditioning system. 1 transmission oil radiator. 1 differential oil radiator. 1 engine oil radiator |
