Yep, I was there. It makes me sweat when I think of it. The temperature was about 29°C (84 F) and you could not find any higher temperature in the rest of Europe at that time. :ashamed:

I was there primarily as a seller. Due to the hot weather, no-one was intested in buying (....or was it my useless stuff?). I sold for about $80 and that is really not much. :disbelief:

I took some hasty snap shots. Here they are. :D

Thanks for posting those really nice pics Chris. That Hemi is sweet as is that black sinister Charger!(both are nice)! :thumbsup: 84 Hot? It's funny how peoples of the world have a different 'threshold' of temperture comfort. I like it at 90 or a bit hotter, women wear less clothing! :lol:

90 degrees is classed as a "Heat wave" in Northern Europe. It kills people. :nod:

Especially the ones with no air conditioning!

There was a show on either Discovery or History channel about eskimo and Inuit life up by the arctic circle, and these guys were walking around all day in t-shirts in 20 degree weather! It was warm to them!

I hesitate whether I shall write about this, but I was stupid enough to wear trousers :s001: , nor did I have anything covering my head :s022: . Spending six hours outside was a boiling experience, I can tell you that. (....or am I soft? :p: )

Sorry Chris, I didnt realize about your selling out in the hot sun. :oops: Yeah, it would be uncomfortable even for me. I have the 'genes' for extreme heat. But when it gets below 60 F I turn into a vagina and need to have the furnace ON! The heaters, long underwear the works. I cant handle cold weather at all!! :lol:
