“It really doesn’t get much below 4°C (40°F)”
I never did well in geography class. Just looked up Sydney’s latitude and it’s not nearly as far South as I envisioned. Looks like it would be more like South Carolina weatherwise.

I’m guessing that throttle icing isn’t much of a problem in here in Sydney. It really doesn’t get much below 4°C (40°F)

Brendan,
Just remembered: Throttle icing in the injected cars didn’t manifiest itself by stalling like a carburetor would. Instead, the throttle would stick open, causing the engine to stay on power.

Brendan,
Nice 99 EMS. Brings back memories of my 73 99 LE except for the steering wheel on the wrong side. I noticed that your 74 doesn’t have a warm water jacket around the air intake, between the filter housing and the throttle plate. In North America, we had a recall and Saab added a warm water jacket because of throttle icing problems. Do you not have any throttle icing? Maybe it’s just one of those NE USA anomalies.

Brendan: Now you’re just bragging.

Have a great trip — I was that I were there (instead, I’m at a week-long sales meeting in Northern New Jersey – eye roll).

Paul thats the real deal.

It normally looks bad for a number of reasons

1. It speands a bit of time parked next to Simon’s at club events.

2. Where I live requires me to wash my cars once a week and I have four cars to wash!

3. It needs a respray.

I may be picking him up but I resent being called his wife!
