Bloody cold on the bike this morning. When they say freezing fog they aren't ****ing about.
Quite interesting when the inside and outside of your visor simultaneously freeze up whilst travelling at 70 on an unlit duel carriageway with no tail lights visible through the soup. |

It was over 20 years ago & I wasn't as mechanically aware as I am now, although I only know a little bit more than I did then :D |

I use the Comma X-treme -26C in cars, don't even bother with anything less than -15 as it will freeze at just below zero. The methanol evaporates off and then it freezes.
You can add Methylated spirits to screenwash which does a good job. |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Funnily enough the jets were the one thing that wasn't frozen on my van this morning. Getting in the doors was the problem though. All frozen solid and the locks too. My friend used to work for Nissan and said this time of year they were constantly replacing door handles where people had pulled them off trying to open frozen doors.
I usually have to climb in through the back of my van and kick the doors open from the inside. Had the heaters on full all day today and was still cold driving. Usually it gets too hot pretty quickly. It has nothing fancy at all, no turbo, manual windows etc, but the one things that's always been great on it is the heat you get out of the engine fairly fast after start up. |
