It's brass monkeys here...........i hate the winter. :(
still warm here, norferners dont complain till its -45deg.....
i only put my harrington jacket on to go to work i this morning. was going in just my t shirt and trousers till today!
Nipply this morning. Had to chisel some ice off the windscreen (my RAC card has its uses lol)
I prefer cold to hot, as its easier to warm up than it is to cool off. And winter is a perfect time for BBQs :d
Winter BBQ's are ace!
it fecking freezing here, was about -2 this morning at 430 when i set off for work but yesterday was worse i had to scrape ice instead of frost
ive also discovered that i need to give me astra a decent service and a new battery:mad:
important tip............
DO NOT USE A SCRAPER OR DEICER....
run some warm water from a tap into a plastic milk bottle, walk to the car & pour it on the screen, then get the wipers going. 10 second startup
AND NO IT WON'T CRACK THE SCREEN......think about it, you put your heater on and that doesn't crack it....
but Gavin from autoglass said... lol
Oh, All those with a MK4 astra, be careful about frozen handbrake cables lol
i'd like to meet this Gavin.....i've got something to tell him
I'd inject some special resin in his crack... erm
Tell me about it.The coupe was fun in winter last year so going to remind her to leave it parked in gear with the hand brake off this time.

Hayley jumped her car down the road once before because I'd parked it in gear (on a hill). I always start a car with the clutch down, force of habit
Usually do it if the car is on a hill. The nova sits outside in reverse with the wheels pointing inwards as well.
As for the scraping, I tried the warm water before and it just froze up again lol Might go back to doing that seen as its just frost at the moment though.
i believe it is law to park a car in gear, incase the handbrake fails.... my missus also has done the kangaroo down the road........
same here but i also always knock it into neutral by habit aswellQuote:

thats ace lolQuote:

doctors surgery receptionists, so full marks go to mr L14MNP
Pics of Annette?
I wonder why I keep missing out letters whenever I reply on forums of late. :/
annette is a grandmother, and i'm not sticking a photo on here.... my green rep is far too important to me......
lol Fair.

Sturge always parks cars in gear, whether it's mine or one of his, it's habit for me to dip the clutch and check its in neutral before i start my car...:)Quote:

the milk i was delivering would start freexing in the time it took to move it from a heated unit into the van. and would continue to freeze until they were completely solid and that was with the heaters on full blast.
you could hear the glass bottles cracking as the milk expanded inside them!
