If i ever found ice covering my storm I'd know, for certain, that I'd woken up into a nightmare and hell might just have frozen over.

I love the tropics

Ha you think my first post was scary last night leaving work the thermometer on the door read - 11c even in my winter gloves the four mile crawl left my fingers numb

So there really is a product called di-icer. WOW, is all I can say! What will they put in a bottle next

I just have to work out how to install air conditioning on the storm and I'll be in heaven

Have you checked to see if all you bits are intact, not sure at what temperature testicles freeze, but -11 sounds cold enough.

Hey Alienst, sure feel sorry for you in all that horrible heat, for air con, have you tried lifting the visor ?

it's a aerosol of liquid that helps us get rid of the ice off our cars.

obviously nothing like this is ever called for in the 'tropics' of Oz !

No not taking the piss. We don't need it, I was imagining a hairdryer or something.

Had the fan keep cutting in on the Storm the other day. Heat was so intense the radiators just weren't making the grade...

Only thing we ever have cause to put on ice is a drink out by the barbie as the sun goes down, while the delicious aroma of char-grilled king prawns & steak entices the senses.

VTRgirl, I have probs with the radiators being too small to handle the heat as well. Sitting in traffic and watching the temp gauge pushing up to the red is not much fun.

Rainmaker, the old visor goes up occasionally, but there are so many bugs up here that all I get is an eye full of insect

I'll have to nut out an air con I think
