A guy driving his poor mini in 41 degrees today :shock:

At least he had his 660 air con going, (6 windows 60 ks).

Hairy lime

The extra two windows make for supercharged air blasts too.

I drove mine alot yesterday but got caught in traffic in the city. It doesnt like sitting still in the heat :?

It keeps perfectly cool whilst moving but it just struggles to keep up when at a stand still.

Time to make some changes. Luckily today it is only getting driven to work and there is no traffic. 44 degrees here today :shock:

I was lucky, waited till after 6 last night to take the Moke out, fan forced aircon! But actually really hot in the sun :cry:
But it was great this morning before the sun came up! Yep heading for 44, hiding inside all day for me!

I drove mine around a fair bit yesterday. But i did remember to check the water a couple of times.

It's good cos mum and dad gave me some seat covers for christmas so now i don't stick to the seats.

The worst thing was when a had to bring the mini in from being parked out the front, and the steering wheel was that hot it was burning my little fingies.
