As I was suppose to drive somewhere today in the 952. Looks like I’m staying home! Poor car doesn’t deserve the heat

I wouldn't mind taking half of it off your hands. It's 18 F here; of course the turbo does kick in big time at these cold temperatures (just got to watch it on the icy/snow covered streets.

DILLIGAF ---- haven't seen that in some years; brings back memories of the military days.

Hey, I'm enjoying the cool weather at the moment. We had a bucket of rain over the weekend - the river flowed for first time in 14 months. Only bad thing about it now is that as the temp heats back up over 40*C, the humidity gets over 10% (up around 90%) for a few days as everything dries out. 'Sweat like a pig' working on the car in the shed.

Hey Pops, you guessed right - ex military

Cheers

I left my 951 at home yesterday also. It doesn't like the heat.
Not much cooler this morning either.

Great Ocean Rd - excellent drive, although I believe it's a lot slower these days with the traffic, all the towns and 80kph speed zones. Still, a nice drive. Someone needs to get the Great Ocean Road Escape to be a regular event

Why would they do that? Did you tell them that that was how it came out of the factory???

I really dont know, he's like the intercooler needs to go. im like why it's factory, he's like because then we would need to run EPA checks. I didnt argue with the guy. I'm thinking obviously you would do an EPA check if it's a part of your job.

people amaze me thesedays.

So did you get your RWC or do you need to find a guy who might be a little more understanding? I didn't have any problems when I brought mine over from SA, even though it had been converted to RHD.
