Hottest day ever here, yesterday  :happydance:


Well, hottest of the year as far as I'm concerned. Most of the afternoon I was up my willow tree chainsawing thick branches.

A "tad" frosty, Dazz?  That's like say that the Vikings raped and pillaged a "tad"!!

BTW, on Sunday morning and this morning there was a "tad" of black ice on the road.  Luckily for me I wasn't going that fast and the ESP kicked in.  My eyes did open a "tad" as the Ranger stepped sideways a few times.

Too much power for you, hey Jamie?

Bucketloads of torque (470Nm), reasonable power (147kw).  Our old Commodore had less torque, but more power.  I think it was more a case of no weight in the rear (and it was icy).

Certainly less of the nasty stuff than most other places .. :Knock:

About 1c at the moment...

But I meant global warming..

We are generally getting milder winters, a bit less rain and a bit more sun most of the time  :goodjob:

Only hit black ice once. I was heading west from Lithgow and a slight right hand curve at 100 kph got REAL exciting. Company Commodore and my specialist truck tyre salesman alongside me. Opened his eyes.  :Shocked: And him from Canberra, too. :disapp:

Never actually left my side of the road fortunately but it took me back to my rallying days.

I can see how if you panic and hit the brakes, or pull hard on the wheel you'd be in serious trouble.

I hit black ice once in a Mazda 808 with cross ply tryes (Did a completed 360 without hitting anything  :sweating: :faint: ) ..

Drove straight to a tyre place and got them swapped to Radials.. not that they would have helped much in hindsight...

I would have been about 20 Y/O  :cool:
