...ah, but Leeds is always colder than us - you're further north, hence more frost! |

This morning was -2 degrees hit the 'prog' button and thought................ ..............nothing happening as previous on mild cool mornings you could watch the heater wires BURN through the condensation.....as you say npinks a minute or minute and a half suddenly the bright frost turned to darker slush....a flick of the wiper blade and I was away passing my neighbour in his Passat who had pulled over due to his windscreen fogging over again .........if only everything in life was as realiable as a Volkswagen |

Or get one of Halfrauds car covers so the frost forms on that and not on the windows! How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

Strange place to keep your junk, I would have thought a marina or a boat yard was a better place to keep a boat.......... How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

The polartec fleece type will still hold tiny particles of dirt and rub them against the cars paint.

I watched my neighbour spend about 45 minutes this morning trying to get all the newspaper off his Honda Jazz's front and rear screens................................. He had carefully put newspaper sheets on the glass after drying the screens yesterday evening, but it must have rained during the night and then the temperature must have dropped below freezing as the paper was frozen solid to the screen How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?
