OT: Sydney Weather Driving me @#$%^&!!

JB4-335 · 02-02-2012, 10:46 PM

I'm really over the weather in Sydney. It's been raining almost the entire summer and it's driving me crazy. What good is a 12 second vert in these summer conditions. Can't put the roof down or my right foot.

I think it's time to sell the vert and get a 335i. Just kidding.

Nah, wasn't me Joe.
I was sick of driving like a grandad (sorry Joe I don't mean you) so I gave it some while doing 100ks and she lost traction almost instantly. Won't do that again. I just wanted to feel some G Force and I was sure it would hold the road at that speed but obviously not.

Forecast has predicted rain all throughout Feb. The only good I see is the new lawn I had laid earlier in the week.

Funny as I was telling wifey the same thing this morning in regards to the rain..

I only take her out on the weekends ( the 1M that is..) and the weather as we know has been shitfull..

And true about the lawn.. My wifes herb garden in the sky is flourishing..

How funny is that!? His manager probably went off at him for being a douche. Now he has to sell it and buy a Camry

All i can say is:

- When i lived in Melbourne, and frequently travelled to sydney for work, everyone would be suggesting that melbourne weather is 'four seasons in one day' and its 'always raining'

- I've been in sydney over a year now, and I must admit its the worst summer performance I've ever seen.

- Melbourne > Sydney </end thread>

Superdaws · 02-03-2012, 03:40 AM
