We have been following Perth and finally managed a few 30C temperatures
at last. Let's hope it is a nice hot Xmas this year.

Hmm, you got one of them fancy cars, eh? Or should I say, one of them
cars with a fancy temperature guage!
I have removed the engine driven fan from my car and only run an
electric fan in front of the radiator. In my '68B my temperature guage
sits a little below the 'N' when she is warmed up in Winter and a little
above the 'N' when cruising on a hot Summer's day. Stuck in traffic, it
will climb (with the electric fan running) to halfway between the 'N'
and the 'white line' - but drop rapidly down again once you are in motion.
There ya go... is that technical enough for you? Maybe someone can
translate 'N' and degrees - I wouldn't be able to read those little
marks at speed anyway so the 'N' does me fine :-)

There were, but ain't heard from them for a while. I will name them if
they don't come out of their own free will!
