It ain't warm out there.

Nuff said.



I reckon this year is gonna be a cold one . . . . . .  

Maybe that'll mean next Summer is good, though ?

It was dam cold and slippery just after six this morning

I wasn't surprised when the Beatch's rear wheel locked under braking on the hill, but I nearly shat myself when the front wheel slipped sideways on the main road

Although on the other hand, if they did grit the roads more, the bike would probably rust away in about 20 minutes.

Ditto (with one alteration )

Also when they intalled central heating into the house and decided they wouldn't need radiators in the bedrooms  THEY WERE VERY WRONG!!!

Yep, even colder this moning.  My laptop wasn't happy, i left her in the car over night!  It's still cold to the touch now, and i've been using her for an hour.... but at least the condensation has stopped forming on the screen and keyboard.  Serfice to say she was a little slow booting up.

Drove home with the roof of wednesday night, it wasnt that cold.

Bunch of light weights

Whats that on?  Your truck?

But yarrr I have heated on my Ford too, its awesome but for some reason only one side is working now.  I think there must be a split in the connection somewhere for the heated wire..  Doesnt really matter as I want to change the windscreen soon anyway because of a couple of chips..

My boss's Passat has heated wingmirros, windscreen, seats and powerful blowers for the side windows..  Its proper BO!  It clears everything in a few minutes..

Thats because they are split fused, check the fusing should be a pair of 30A for the heated front.

Mine seems to work intermitantly and the rear isnt working at the moment so i will be investigating over the weekend

Yeah while I was out scraping and warming up the Stang the next door neighbour fired up his brand new sporty little Merc and cleared it all in a few minutes
