Another cold Australian Morning

**TEGBOY** · 07-01-2005, 05:03 PM

I went out this morning, to discover someone *not mentioning names... Kristi* left my car outside in -2 weather.

But the nice water beading, made it all ok again. This is 2 layers of Z-2pro after 2 months

This was at 7am this morning, so excuse how dark it is

Nice beading.

It`s funny to think of it being cold and winter Down Under when it`s been 90 degrees here in the States.:usa

You`ll feel better at Christmastime. :chuckle:

When its 40`c over Christmas holiday`s..... its not much fun.

I would love some snow

Very nice beading, let`s see some full car shots of your car. Sure not fun when fun at 40 C to do anything. I`m glad it doesn`t get that warm here!

:LOLOL Well, that would make for some interesting beading. Unfortunately when it comes to keeping one`s car clean snow makes for a horrible situation. I store one car in the winter and the other I just don`t look at it too much because it`s next to impossible to keep it clean during the winter months. I prefer the summer but I don`t think we approach anything like 40C. My Celcius-to-Farenheit calculations aren`t very good but that sounds pretty hot to me.

Where in Australia are you?

**TEGBOY** · 07-01-2005, 06:07 PM

40`c is 104F

-2`c is 28.4 degrees Fahrenheit

I live in Melbourne, Australia

**imported_Jinba ittai** · 07-01-2005, 08:15 PM

Wow!

That`s some temperature range! 104 degrees is pretty damn hot!

28 degrees. Sounds like you`d get some snow.

Yeah, Australia the land of 4 seasons in one day

Last year during teh Australia Open (Tennis) its was 51.3`c (124f) on centre court

Never snows here, we are too low lying. About 50mins from here, its snows.... LOVE SNOW!

IMO that`s the ideal situation. I like snow when it`s 50 minutes away and I can go skiing in it. It`s a PITA to have it where I live. Fortunately we don`t get much. It gets cold though. There are times when 28 degrees seems balmy.

I love summer. :xyxthumbs Here, it only gets to about 90 degrees at most and that`s fine with me. Usually it`s in the 80s. Plus, it`s easy to keep the car clean in the summer. Nothing is worse than washing a car in freezing cold weather. :hairpull I just have to deal with the rain.

It`s been raining on and off all week and tomorrow it`s finally clearing up. The plan is to detail the family car. It`s a mess.

Here`s some pics taken this morning:

I think it`s got AIO+Paste Glaz+Max Wax+Nattys+#16 (can`t remember the exact order)

The other car with 3xUPP, I think the pic was taken about 2-3 weeks ago when UPP was about 4-5 weeks old.

You mean MELBOURNE, with four seasons in one day...the rest of the country`s not so bad. :xyxthumbs

**Mark77** · 07-03-2005, 06:48 AM

I didn`t know you get temperatures below 0 C in Australia. Does it snow also? Stupid questions, i know

**Hemi57** · 07-03-2005, 03:42 PM

Hey teg, you must be way out east? I heard they had minus temps out there last week. I am closer to the city and the lowest this year so far has been about 4 degrees C so far (although I have been away in Sydney for work and missed the worst of it

).

Mark77, yep we do get snow in OZ if you want to go looking for it. We have snow fields in Victoria and New South Wales and there are lower mountains about 100+ kilometres from Melbourne for sightseeing snow in winter.

**chrisx** · 07-03-2005, 04:07 PM

That`s the problem with you guys, you are too far south. You need to be further up the coast in Liveable Brisbane (only 45 minutes to the lovely Gold Coast). Although last week would have been interesting with all that rain and flooding.
