Windscreen defrost

Pressed "prog" this a.m. and ice all gone in half a minute. Another tick, but I'm running out of boxes.

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?

Not if you buy the nice Polartec micro fleece one - its the cheapo plastic ones that scratch 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.......... Thud Mr. Green 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 Rolling with laughter How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?
