Xmas came early for mi30, she got a sponge with those microfibre fingers on one side and the bug squash remover on t'other, along with a new supply of microfibre cloths and a big bag of Autoglym goodies, the one that comes in the red bag with everything you might ever need in it.

I am considering that she needs something for the day itself and I am thinking of ordering a boot tray (golf leaves grass bloody everywhere!) and I fancy the chrome sill protectors, not least cause my wife keeps catching the stock plastic with various heels :(

Cheers

Well I already bought Fergie a windscreen heater but haven't used it yet. This weekend though, if the forecasts are right, she'll need it.

How does that work?

I bought a screen cover -cheap and cheerful.

It's one of those ceramic heaters that plug into the lighter socket I think.

Yeah it is.

Didn't pass my first test of it "actually blowing useful air" though, so Fergie may be disappointed when needed in anger :evil:

Are you sure it's needed??

We have had a few frosts, not usual NE Scotland standard yet, but frosts nevertheless and I find that a quick blast of the demister on recycled air con along with the heated wiper area clears the screen really quickly.

Fergie's Xmas present (says he, getting it back on topic) will surely be needed soon (if it works) as we get severe frost in Manchester. Droplets of dew harden solid overnight, and we do expect that this coming weekend. The forecast for this weekend looks grim for you too, bumpkin  ;)
