It's UNCANNY!

4 weeks ago, drove her to work, was a very nice day. On the way home, it started storming!

Drove it to work 2 weeks ago, was nice all week, Thursday morning, whatdya know! It rained. Got to work and it was a fine day.

Last weekend's mini run to Pie in the Sky, it rains!

Took her out yesterday briefly in the afternoon to Rare Spares near me. Was fine all day. 30 min trip all up and it rains!

Took her out tonight to pick up dinner. Was fine all day! 15 min trip, and it rains!!!!!

Talk about being a rain magnet!!! I reckon Lillee and I can resolve the water shortage single handedly! :lol: Anyone want to go for a run to Warragamba Dam??? :wink:

can you come for a nice long drive down this way, then up to Gulgong for Mike, then back down here.... and keep going backwards and forwards between here and there constantly for 6 months or so...??

Would a cruise down this way be too much trouble?

For gods sake drive it in a continual loop from Gulgong to Goulburn and Albury. Just because Sydney has has the plentiful droplets doesn't mean that we have. We havn't !!!

Its still a drought and its serious again.

Betty is organising a MCC weekender to Mudgee - hopefully to be a drought breaker. Lillee make sure you are on it.

You know that in Goulburn all the pubs are using disposable plastic glasses because they dont have the water to wash them. It just might be your fault if you havn't been there.

Now that Lillee and I have been bestowed with this Special Power, I must use it only for good and I feel it is almost my duty to visit all the drought stricken areas :lol:

Do you wash it before taking it out?
I always found washing a car would cause it to rain and become dirty again

I tell you, it's beyond a joke, it's getting abit wierd!

I was out yesterday in the west and I thought, just a beautiful sunny day I think i might take a detour home (as you do). Anyway as I was heading back east all I could see in my rear view mirror was BLACK AS NIGHT clouds!!! The type that summer storms are made of. I thought, They are chasing us Lillee! I swear it! :shock: :P

So I headed back home as fast as possible :lol:

Isn't that more likely to be dodgy tyres than too much horsepower, being front wheel drive and all? :D

If you want to corner sideways, you may have to learn left-foot braking.
