Street Trim , Would that be Street tyres or M/T? Who's driving this Beast of a car?

Mate I've been up in HK for the last few days and it was a happy 37 , Came back here and it's like 10, Still climatising, But maybe in the next few weeks I'll come out to play.

Man I need some time to recover from HK ( Cantonese ) Lan Kwai Fong was good..... :evil3:

Next few weeks I'll be free to do Korean no problem.

But dude the weather for Friday is not so good at this stage.

Forecast for Friday
Early drizzle patches, then fine until some rain develops late in the day or at
night. A mostly cloudy day with a light to moderate southwest wind tending
northwest in the morning then freshening later in the day.

Precis: Early drizzle. Late rain.
City: Min 8 Max 14
