The Weather Thread.

I've watched the moon rise, I've watched the sun rise. That's enough for one day, isn't it?

[nuttinnew]

Thunder! Lightning! Hail! It's all a bit angry and intense.

Yeah, had that heading into the office. Now gone as quickly as it arrived.

[nuttinnew]

Full moon (and tomorrow, and 98% Wed.), clear sky, no night

Look how bad the traffic is https://www.google.com/maps/@51.572637, ... a=!5m1!1e1 and it only gets worse when you zoom in or out. 30° and rush hour still to come, I wouldn't want to be in that

[Mito Man]

Well shit, I'm driving through that soon. In the 6 series with it's love for overheating. Better get the recovery details ready.

[nuttinnew]

Oohf'k, good luck.

This morning it was pretty cloudy and I was disappointed I’d not shuffled the driveway to be able to take the ‘sud.

That cleared pretty quickly and I was soon glad I hadnt. It’s like a proper greenhouse with terrible ventilation and heat soak from the mechanicals

[nuttinnew]

That's the problem with old(er) cars, though at least aftermarket ac is more readily available and less expensive than it was.

Today, already it's https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100070669576980, later I'll be https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100018177944364 .

I have been considering aftermarket ac, but only to the point of wondering if it would physically fit, not actually looking into prices

I’d quite happily have the Mk2 golf as a daily driver if it had AC.

[McSwede]

I drove back to North Yorkshire yesterday from the Cotswolds and it took me over 6hrs. It was a horrid drive home

[Mito Man]

I don’t think I could survive without AC in a car. It’s not like the old days when roads were freely flowing and the weather was a bit cooler. It feels like at least once I week I get caught up in a massive traffic jam for over a few hours at least.

[Rich B]

I use AC less this time of year tbh. I take the opportunity to open the windows.

[nuttinnew]

What a difference a day makes

I’d quite happily have the Mk2 golf as a daily driver if it had AC.

I'm surprised you don't have a collection of factory bits ready to retro fit

[integrale_evo]

Nah, the vw fanboys hoover up all the rare bits for crazy money.

[nuttinnew]

I was hopeful of a breaker's yard find from a long time back picked up for suitable scrapyard money

[nuttinnew]

I've spent so long trying to decide where to watch the sun rise it's now too late to get anywhere

Happy Summer Solstice everyone

[Beany]

I woke up at 0330 and haven't been able to get to sleep since. Fuck the solstice.

[nuttinnew]

The dawn cacophony, the RedBull powered toddler sibling of the dawn chorus
I think the birds here mostly woke up, stretched, saw the clear half moon in a slightly different part of the sky, turned round and went back to sleep.

[Beany]

Dropped the car off for MOT, was thinking of walking back up the hill home but it's 20+degC already, so fuck that noise I'm getting a taxi!
