Busy day yesterday, first up was cleaning up the Cobra, as the local SuperCheap has expanded into a Superstore, so they had a grand opening and asked for a few cars to display in the carpark.

I like the old MG in the first pic Dave. That is a great colour could look terrific on a Cobra.

Last night my local car club had our annual Christmas lights cruise.
Here are some pics from the night. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...photo-1962.jpg http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...photo-2269.jpg http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...photo-1499.jpg http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j.../photo-918.jpg http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...photo-2129.jpg http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j.../photo-972.jpg http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...photo-1614.jpg http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...photo-2179.jpg Santa dancing with his twin. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...photo-2190.jpg And some of the kids enjoying a bubble machine. About as close as we get to snow in Alice Springs. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...photo-2214.jpg |
nice work Dave, looks like good fun and some nice examples there.

Oh man, it is warm out here.
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...photo-2365.jpg I have sand/gravel, concrete bags, cement mixer and ready to mix and pour concrete on Christmas day (Mrs's is working anyway), the weatehr man said it will be 44 by then. |
Tools down Dave, 44's way too hot for working. Should be sitting in the river under a willow tree.
36 is common here and i HATE that! |
We have had only one 30 degree day so far and that was not even in summer - 24th November. December so far - one 26 deg day and the rest under 25.
Haven't even dragged out the summer doona yet, let alone kicked it onto the floor |
My brother is complaining that his office is too hot as well!
Pilbara sizzles again after 49.4C - the hottest WA December day on record | Perth Now A lazy 49.2C |
Still warm out here.

Hail and storms in Melbourne yesterday....BIG hail;

Been a little strange at Portland also.
A rather warm day that saw evening heavy rain. Then high winds and rain overnight. My elderly neighbor put me at ease by telling me it was similar weather to 1967 when her son had his 21st birthday party on the beach. Whoa for a moment I thought Al Gore may have been right and climate change was really real - :3DSMILE: |

Reminds me of that movie
I'll have what she is on!!..... Either smoking or blowing smoke up someone...:LOL: |
I remember back in the early / mid sixties...I was a little kid but the regular summer afternoon hail storms made a big impression...The back yard was slick and fun after the storm...until someone got hurt then mum ended the play. ha ha ha Maybe the weather cycle is coming back around. This time all our houses, cars etc are a little more fragile than those back in the sixties.

As well as the new generation :eek: Cheers |
Have been looking these past months at purchasing kit from local supplier.
Had virtually decided on a couple of kits and go and have a look at, printed out $$ from their sites before Xmas. Looked at one site after new year and was shocked to see price increase of between 40%-100%+ (complete kit stayed same) extras like wheels/mats/optional rear ends/bumpers etc etc.. had increased Went to the American site, the original price list I had printed out was theirs. At those inflated prices why would you buy here. Even after shipping etc way cheaper. I am now reconsidering wether to buy from this local kit supplier |
