Re: Climate control (or lack thereof)



Wing windows.....brings back memories, Never forget the way the wings
on my '71 Lotus Cortina (biggest wing windows I ever saw..12" at the base)
would vibrate as the engine came up on 8500rpm,  wings were very important
in cars in the tropics without air conditioning.
I always had them wide open.
Had to in Jamaica.
I say, bring them back
