Bloody Ice ....

[imported_Mark]

Ok the ice is starting to annoy me again - I forgot how annoying it was and also how I need to wash the car every 2 or 3 days during the winter but just wondered if there is anything you can buy to apply to your windows to either stop or minimize the build up of ice on the windows?

If not then why not?

Put a cover or black bag over the windows and hold it in place with the doors. The only prob with that is someone can come along and just pull it off...... but it does work!

betterware sell a cover thing for your front windscreen

 

[imported_Mark]

It does work indeed but I live on a rather busy street which is frequented by school kids on a regular basis (the lil shits already know its my car and leave messages on the ice for me) so the bin bag thing would really just be looking for trouble.

Get yourself a BIG can of de-icer and a lighter, if the kids come near the car, home made flame thrower! :twisted: Trust me de-icer suirts for miles!

That is true but the cash machine has problems reading it next time u need some cash

 

[FS Guest]

dont use a bank card, use the annoying credit card applications that get sent to you! nice of them to provide free car maintenance kit!

Quick question for you, whats the paisley area code?

 

[imported_Mark]

PA1 thats the kinda centre of their town i think

But PA covers a massive area if I remember right including some smaller islands

 

[FS Guest]

Sorry i ment the start to a telephone number

 

[imported_Mark]

lol ah rite sorry,

Paisley is still covered under Glasgow so its 0141 xxx-xxxx

 

[FS Guest]

Cool cheers!

 

[M21MFS]

Unless its Linwood/renfrew where its 01505

 

[imported_Mark]

Thats true,

Where or what in Paisley are you trying to contact cause its in a bit of an akward place regarding area codes cause each direction u got by 2 or 3 miles it changes.

But if its someplace actually in paisley centre (i.e. the Uni where i am now) its 0141

But as Martyn pointed out Renfrew is a different area code even though its closer to Glasgow??

Thats maybe just the shire?! Linwood is in Renfrewshire!

:lol: :wink:


was wondering what 0141 was someone phoned me from there the other day n couldnt figure out what it was, you can get rain-x it stops water sittin on the window my dad got some the other day yet to try it though, will let you know if it works once i try it :wink:

 

[imported_Mark]

yeah rain x is brilliant for keepin water off the car, but even with that my windows still get all frosty - i dont think its water i think its the cold wind or something cause across from my street is a big pitch with a path that runs for aobut 2 miles so all the cold air builds up down there
