Default Too Hot To Take The Vette Out Today!

Here in country Victoria, Australia it's hot! They are predicting over 40C degrees for the next few days. Think I'll leave the vette, as well as myself, indoors. This is all we need combined with the drought we've been having for the last 4-5 years. The country side is so brown, if there is anything at all that is.

Bud.

Bud2.

43C /108 Degrees forecast for us today.
11am and its already 37c /99 degrees and it's ment to stay the same for the next few days.

Need to drive the Vette's in the early morning or late evening so we don't keep sticking to the seat.


So, how is your car going these days?

Default I'll trade places

It's too damn cold to take the Vette out here. We're getting our 5th snowstorm this month tomorrow, and we already have 2 feet on the ground. My 66 coupe has been stored since November. I've had it with this..time to move!

Well it's now Midday here Downunder

105 Degrees and thats in the shade. It will go higher this afternoon I'm sure

Too bloody cold, if you are snowed in, still it's one thing or the other too hot or too cold.

Better to be warm than cold.

You all need to come on down here, untill it warms up at home.

Great exchange rate for you guys in the US if you were get down here with our dollar being so low against the green back

We are going to get 2 inches or so of a snow/rain mix.
Not a big deal.

We have to put up with around 92-94* & rain this time of year, sometimes it gets to 100, humidity 50-70%, so the coupe hasn't been out much here in Brisbane. Thats why I have a motorcycle & jetski. But why did I move back here from FL. and why did I leave Victoria where Bud2 & nanood62 lives in the first place, because we have the best beaches in the world bar none!!!
C'mon down & have a look, no one will be disappointed.

We have global freezing in Michigan. That bum Gore is probably sitting in a nice warm or hot tropical setting baking his fat ***. Him and his tree hugging greenies that is.
