Title: Demisting gadget anyone?
Post by: GROWLER on December 02, 2009, 11:27:39 PM
Getting partuculary cheesed off waiting for the front screen to de-mist on the inside these cold damp mornings. sleep021

Anyone in here got one of those little heater thingies that plug into the fag lighter that you can apparently leave on for 10 minutes before you head out, or any other similar gubbins even?  rubschin:

Just light a small fire in a brazier (night watchman style). You could roast chestnuts as you drive about, like  angel1

I know someone who had one of those plug in heater things ~ ran his battery flat the first time he used it.

Had you considered using your glove to wipe the windscreen ..... like everyone else?

What you think I am ey? A bloody sheepie? ::)
I don't follow the herds and hoardes, you should know that by now.
 I'm an individual...slightly odd one possibly, but independent all the same.

Use gloves/hands/rags/whatevers on a damp screen, and it creates a miserable smeary mess that then requires the full polishing proceedure that is both time consuming and a pain in the arse.

Then get up ten minutes earlier, go out to the car, start the engine, switch on the demister (that's what it's for) and have your brecky whilst standing guard at the curbside to ensure nobody steals the vehicle.  angel1

Wait long enough and someone will give you one for Christmas and then you won't feel bad about wasting your own money.
