    Hi from Australia

    Hi All, just a quick one to introduce myself, my name is Matthew, and I have a 74 Mk1 Escort with a 2 litre Pinto recently installed. I am busy working my way through some of the teething problems, and Im sure Ill have a few questions.

    Not one of its finer moments, but better than it is now!

    Flying to Sydney and driving down to Melbourne was the plan. Bummer about the weather was hoping for a bit of sun.

    It was a nice day today, and the weather is supposed to hold out till about Saturday, with temps pushing up to 30, more likely high 20s. Supposed to start raining on Sunday, but not sure about Melbourne, its always bloody cold and wet there! Actually, scratch that, towards the end of the week, its supposed to be sunny and about 20 in Melbourne, but down to 7-8 degrees overnight.

    Im a bit north of Sydney (about 150K), otherwise could have a beer!

    Let's hope we don't bring rain with us then. Although it's pretty nice here at the mo.

    No problems, looks like the forecast was right, beautiful sunny warm day today, and cool morning and evening. I think you might be in for some decent weather!
