[photos] Dang, it's HOT out there...

[BuzzPuppy]

Couldn't resist with a few warm days and I'm sure you SA crew would have copped the bulk of it.

Sometimes it makes me wonder if these cars were built for hot weather like Australia, especially when you get read-outs like this:

42°C parked in the shade in Melbourne a few days ago.

Post up what you have for hottest and coldest temps!

yea last night at 9.30 it was still 33deg.. too hot

Hottest - 45deg on Sun 16th March while parked in Moorolbark (outside of Melb). Temp dropped to 41 while driving.

I can't believe I forgot to grab a photo!

I saw 46 the other day while I was at Cafe De Vili's. The digital billboard at the front of the Cafe read 45.....

Yeah, the chips and gravy went down well

didn't know it went that high. Gav - when we went for that drive how hot was it? It was around 40C wasn't it?

highest I've seen is 33C or so, and lowest was 1C

I've had -7 in my old leggie in NZ, when they drop to 0C they give you a little beep

whilst not in the leggy, when i lived in karratha, it hit 52 one day.

meh, welcome to our world of the last 15 days! At least it was a comfortable 28 today, feld freezing! LOL

I know what it was like in Adelaide... it'll be interesting to see what displays max out at

yeppp i've gotten the 43 readout on mine to, so glad it cooled down today, just in time to drag of my mates rx7 he just aquired. Does anyone actually know how accurate those temp readouts on the vr-4's are though?

ooh wow, when did you live there? i was there between '90 and '01, basically during my primary school/early high school years.

I completely agree with you though, its bullsh*t hot up there, and its a very dry heat as well.

Mines was at -2 this morning . mine gives a beep and flashes from inside temp to outside every time it drops a degree from 4 down to 0 . First time it did it i thought i'd broken somthing , couldn't figure out where it was coming from

(+2 this morning here in Holland, we have never been NEAR 40 degrees (ever?) haha

Every time the cl.control beeps it is +3 degrees, which I always responded to as "thank you car for letting me know it is 3 degrees, SO WHAT?!)

And now I know that this has something to do with the temperature at which (our?) roads can become slippery, so to warn you the thingy beeps. Well.. thanks after all then!

(Interesting to see it responds somewhat different in other cars... I don't see why this is or how/if this is/can be adjusted)

Some people have said it is at 0C and others at 3C, haven't managed to figure out if it is prefacelift vs facelift or something yet.

 

[kiwibstokes]

True my first leggie was a pre facelift, and i will no doubt find out a lot this winter when my facelift beeps at.

I find that my outside temp is about 1 - 2 degrees out sometimes when you drive past those temp/clock signs around the place

42 deg.. wow


we have lots of snow still
