Last couple of weeks it´s been between 15 and 20 C here. Fantastic. Had the pre-prod V6 MOT´d yesturday with a fail on just the handbreak. Needed adjusting at the shoes, got it okayed today

Was going to do a few more things with it. Been a lot colder the last few days (3-6 C). Went out later on this afternoon and.........

You still have snow at this time of year? No wonder we were having rain last week in Cairo

We've got sand storms - from the Sahara.

Has been known to snow in June but that is very unusual here in southern Sweden. It´s just that all the flowers are out and the blossoms of course. If it freezes tonight then a lot of fruit will be lost. Bit of a shame, neighbour manages to get some peaches if the weather behaves

Sandstorm. Really... What with acid pollen from the east, the weather seems upside down

You need to swap that open top trailer in situations like that for one of these

That looks great. I have the original ads for the tourer (95) somewhere. The first ad showed a young couple who had bedded out the back and were getting ready for a good night. There was a storm as the girls hands showed not ring. Immoral. So the next ad showed an older couple with a small child between them. More -victorian-

Did have one of these, 1967 the last year of production
