Hey people.

Thought I would just chuck some photos up of some recent snow falls here in orange overnight. Has anyone else around had the white stuff fall???

Interesting to drive in lol. Usually takes me 6 - 8mins to drive to work. This morning it took double the time. Not too many tracks in the road when I left for work this morning.

Sorry mate, haven't had any falls here in Adelaide recently. I wonder how it's going up in Darwin or Far North Queensland for that matter? :

Lol, thats bloody summer for orange lol. No wonder everyone looks at me weird when I'm walking around in Brisbane in a singlet on a 15 *C day, when everyone is wearing jumpers :

Currently sitting on 3 *C here, and the windchill would have to be minus 5 - 10

LOL I heard about that on the radio this morning.

Tomorrow I'm heading off to Cowra for the day, perhaps i'll run into some snow along the way in the upper mountains?

Will be armed with my camera either way ;)

Had some here (Sth Island, NZ) a couple a weeks ago, and some cold frosts since (-6c), on the upside the Boss loves the cool weather, brings new meaning to CAI:

Hmmm. Hopefully I'll forget how cold it will be when I eventually get to take my holiday to Helsinki in the middle of their winter. Pitch black 24/7 for 51 days and never even gets close to being on the + side of 0.

Its been pretty cold here in Melbourne...rain on and off.

Also i have a question! My dad has an EL Falcon 4ltr. Is it possible to replace the heads with the 3.9ltr heads off the EA model? I heard it gives it more power, not sure if its true or not.

Cheers

Well if your heading down this way mate, take it easy through the mountains, and especially Cargo Rd between Orange and Cowra. Very well known to Ice right up and cause a lot of grief.

P.S - Awesome photos everyone

Ask your question in the Post Classic section, or even the E series area. You'll get more answers.

Welcome to the forums by the way!
