Well, here in jersey, it's hella hot in the summer, and frickin cold in the winter, so I put warm climate.
No joke, it's hotter than florida for at least 2 1/2 months out of the summer... air as thick and humid as a wet rag, especially in the concrete jungle of the suburbs and city. I've never had a problem with my m42.
Though in the winter, I don't think we need much of a radiator since it's below 20 for weeks at a time.
Edit: My linkage froze and broke one time, I think it was 8 degrees in the sun that day. Don't shift hard when your hands freeze to the shifter. | | | | | 11-05-2005, 11:34 PM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2004 Posts: 411 |
