Lot of anti chavism in this thread now suddenly

Quite the opposite, using sarcasm to mock the OPs narrow minded chavism.

Don't get me wrong, I hate chavs as much as the next man, but housing is something I know a bit about and is often badly misunderstood.

I just pour lukewarm water over the windows

What say you Mark to this charge?

Nah, saying that the thought that new estate means its not chavvy (and the implication from that of old estates being chavvy by default) is entirely misguided

I see.

So why was the chav status of his estate even mentioned? Dont chavs get on ice on the windscreen too?

Or are non chav new build estates less prone to ice in general?

I think its very important we get to the bottom of this whole chav and ice business as soon as possible.

Then there is plan b, you open the garage, get in and drive off

plan b is what i go with!

LOL. This thread seems to have taken a strange 270 degree turn which has lost me as well

When I was referring to chavvy estates I was thinking more of those inner city tower block type places with weird alleyways where you're more likely to have your windscreen cloth nicked rather than preventing your windscreen from freezing over.

The place where I live is out in the sticks near a village called Radcliffe-on-Trent. The estate is full of quite affluent families judging from the type of cars they drive. It's a bit of a commuter belt area. They people on the estate are very pleasant. It's just a shame that its in the middle of nowhere and you have to drive about 10-15 miles just to get to civilisation.

I agree that Nottingham isn't up to much though - most of the city is a bit grim. Bristol, particularly Clifton, knocks the spots off anywhere in Nottingham.

Right im back on the ball now, so we are saying that your anti ice device is only any good in non chav areas where the risk of theft is reduced.

I think you need to add that warning to the packaging, you know it makes sense!

As for Nottingham, if it was good enough for Robin Hood....

I'm the only person who just throws a cloth over my windscreen at night, and in the morning, I just pull off the cloth and I'm ready to go with a frost free windscreen / rear screen.

What about the side windows?

I have this wonderful invention called a garage. Works a treat on icy mornings!

 

[Dave M]

I find the bigger problem is, as already discussed, misting up inside, the glass and air is so cold it takes a looong time to clear with the fans.

I just use an old 2L water bottle filled half from the hot tap, half from the cold - it's not too hot to hold, and clears the ice AND the condensation inside instantly.

It's quicker than scraping / de-icer.

This works well.

Its a pain in the arse towing an immersion heater about though.

But think of the hours you waste dismantling it and then the cost of the transport of it following you to your destination, then you have to wait hours whilst its rebuilt at great cost!

Your invention is flawed, greatly. It'll never catch on.

Fool.
