Title: A request to aid my failing memory...
Post by: Thotos on August 21, 2007, 12:18:18 PM
We now have members on this forum spanning all the World's Continents which is absolutely great. I am still very pleasantly surprised at the amount of love and admiration the 131 has all over the world,  something I was totally oblivious to until we started this website. I remember discussing with my fellow 3MA organisers if it was worth keeping the website going after we've had the 3MA in May 2007.  ??? :-\ Of course in hindsight that was a silly discussion as not only this website will carry on for a long time but the 3MA meeting was such a success that it's now officially an annual event; as long as people come along of course! Planning for 3MA 2008 is progressing steadily and we hope to announce exact dates and location soon (but put a pencil mark in your diaries on 16-19 May 2008).

But I digress from the purpose of this posting. My memory is not as good as it should be and when I read comments like "it was very hot today so I had to use the air con in my 131" and I look out the window in Enfield and it's pouring with rain and just 15 degrees outside even though is meant to be Summer in August,  I have trouble remembering where everyone is from! So as you can see I've added my location to my signature that appears at the bottom of all my postings and I think it would be nice if the rest of you do the same so we all know where you are when reading your posts.

So you don't have British Summers then!
I can remember where you are from kristiano but I used your comments as an example.  :D ;D

A couple of years ago I was in Athens Greece and it was the hottest July they've had in 50 years with temperatures up to 44 degrees Celsius!  :o It was HOT!  :o :o I was very amused to see the following outside an exhibition hall:

The engine was running and the air con was on but nobody was in the car. It seems the tent was also put there just to shade the car (Lancia Thesis if you don't recognise it).
