de-icing the car

[Clippy]

What else is new? That's england for you folks.

Luckily I have a driveway which means I can legally leave my car running in this way....I hope. There may be a law against that as well.

Ditto and I also use my second set of keys to lock the car.

In north america remote starters are in a high percentage of vehicles. Both in to warm the car in cold weather and also to cool it in hot. The car is locked while the engine is on and any attempt to break-in or drive the car results in the imobiliser kicking in. Now tell me...will the cops give me a ticket if I use my remote starter?

My butler usually de-ices my motor for me each morning. No idea what he uses.

I have a 1 k hot air blower that I chuck in the car ten minutes before I leave.

Toasty and de-iced

If you live where I do, you're scared to leave the car running while you go back inside in case it gets pinched. The spray stuff is good though, unless the ice is thick.
But I haven't driven my car in 2 weeks (yay working from home)

A few years ago I received (as a "Secret Santa" present) a scraper with a built-in heating element, that plugs into the cigarette lighter. It's still in the box, never been used, because I've never needed to scrape my windscreen. I have a garage, which keeps my car frost-free.

I'm open to offers for it.

Hmm, one of my freinds drives a turbo charged beasty that doesn't turn off when you take the key out of the ingnition. Instead it keeps running for a period of up to 2 mins before tunring itself off (something to do with the turbo charger and it needs to tuns at a set temp or something, don't really know why tbh).

Do you think he could get nicked??
