I'm happy working in the wind and rain at 10 degrees or a still dry minus 15. Even 20 degrees is too hot if you have heavy work to do. At least for me. The gearbox I wanted to change is still lying in the corner. I don't know how other people stick it. I become so irritable and angry and fit for nothing.

      I know what you mean, where I work the weather gets up to 45c and over 70% humidity. Standing still casues extreme sweating in places you never thought could sweat.

        Lol at the dry coupe comment

        I tried working on the car after letting it cool down for three hours and had to give up, every bit i removed was like juggling a hot potato. I just cannot function in this heat, spent most of the evening wondering around the garage like a zombie trying to remember why i went in there. I'm exhausted and accomplished nothing.

          Hey !

          That's not the heat, that's early Alzheimer's, I'll be over to mentor you on Sunday.

            I'm glad it's not just me. I found beer helps.... I get no less work done and at least I can fall asleep at night after a few.

                Fair play for working in those conditions. It must be brutally warm.

                      I think my fuel is evaporating in this heat faster than my V6 can drink it !
                      For what this cost me so far I could have bought an S2
