• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Could this list be true

It does get 75 to 80 degrees in our area a couple times a year. However, 300 miles North--in the Fairbanks area--it can reach 100 a couple times a year. An interesting note: When it gets 80 here, I feel like I am in Vegas when its over 100. Climate acclimatization? :roflblack::roflblack:

Whaddaya mean COULD this be true?!?! Every bleedin word of it is absobloodylutely true!! :shocked:

You should've seen us here on Christmas Day - Not actually IN Adelaide, which was touted as 'The Hottest City in the World' on this Christmas Day, but outside of Adelaide, in one of the HOTTER parts of the State! And we weren't by any means the hottest place to be either!! :yikes:

Some of the 'lucky locals' here run the water from their swimming pools thru a network of pipes on the roof 'to take the chill off the pool water' - only on this Christmas Day, they turned that system off by about 10:00 am, cos the water coming back into the pool was largely steam!! We didn't hafta turn the BBQ hotplate on to cook either, just lay everything out on the hotplate & left it in the sun for 15 mins, turning only once during that time, & it was done to perfection!! We only hadta put the hotplate out for 10 mins if you liked your steak 'medium', or 5 mins for 'medium/rare'; but for those who liked it rare, it was pretty much just a matter of taking it out of the fridge & putting it on their plate in the sun - then getting them to eat quick or it'd be beginning to char around the edges!! You know it's bloody hot around here when the asphalt on the road starts showing grooves after a car drives by, but on Christmas Day out here you didn't dare drive slowly or the cars would start to sink!! Even the bloody flies were looking for shade & air con!! :shocked:

And you all think I'm kidding, don't you?!? Well I'm NOT!! There are still people in hospital here as a result of heat related conditions from Christmas Day - one young bloke (17 y/old) has been in an induced coma & has kidney failure because he spent too long in the sun! nojoke

Hi Peter,

Re: Adelaide, which was touted as 'The Hottest City in the World'

I have a friend who lives in Darwin and she says this is the H*** time of the year.

I've been there but it was in our Fall and it was ( as you folks like to say ) quite lovely.
