Cosy Car This Morning....

[Gnome]

With winter on it's way (Come on! It's not that cold yet! :P ), I set about moving the last of the junk from the garage yesterday, so my little car now has garage space, after a summer sunning himself on the driveway.

Still got a fair more bits to get rid of/ tidy up, but it was a personal goal I've managed to reach!

Sad, but true....

:D :D :D

[jay dh]

my dad said that when he got his yaris

5 years on and its now been delegated to the road when parked

top effort for completing a target

[dazwan]

There's something satifying about not having to scrape ice off the windscreen on cold mornings! :P

[Caz SR]

I don't have the luxury of a garage I have to make do with an old bed sheet to keep the ice off :(

[Gnome]

Lol Jay - this has taken a good year or more, simply because we didn't know if we'd have to move. Luckily we don't, and everything that was in the garage has gradually been sorted.

Dazwan - too right. I was getting fed up of scraping the car in the mornings! :D

[Demonic Angel]

Our garage is full of all sorts too.... I'd like to get my car in there, but it'll never fit between the junk!

The fact I hate is my car is filthy and I only washed it the other day :censor: !

Maybe we should have a TOC competition:

I washed it in June

[MIP]

I keep mine in the garage, completly ice free this morning, but obviously its still going to be cold. I didn't think about that, and half way down my road, driving along, sprayed the windscreen jets to clean and the water froze on contact, e.g. Arg!! can't see!! I won't be doing that again.

And there is anti-freeze in the water, thats why it could spray, I guess maybe I need it more concentrated?

I've got intellistart.

Press a button on the remote whilst still in the house, it starts up, warms the car, defrosts the windows and it is still locked with the intruder alarm on.

pure class!!

[Caz SR]

Now that's what I need

Sounds expensive though!

snap :D

toasty warm in the winter with the heaters, fully deiced

like a fridge in summer with the A/C

intellistart rules

[Fidgits]

for the last 4 years the IS has been put in the garage every night I was home...

[big dave]

The intellistart was £150 on top of the price of the alarm.

The whole system cost me £350. Mine is parked on a road at night, and I also work nights at various locations, so an alarm is invaluable.

£150 may seem quite a bit for a "gadget", but belive me, it's been worth every penny these last couple of days.

Remember, you can also set it to turn the a/c on in hot weather. (however you leave the car- a/c on, heater on, rear window heater on, that's what will still be turned on with the starter).

Sounds like an advert, but no, I don't work for 'em!!!

[Gnome]

Not a bad price really.

Was it installed as part of the deal by a technician, or was it a self-install?

[silvasurfa]

It's at this time of year when I really question the use of my garage!

It's used as a gym but in the winter it's too effing cold to work out in there!!! My cars just sit outside looking all dejected...

They are not to bad actually... not that I know...

Fitted by a technician.

The alarm was supposed to be easy to fit, the intellistart a b*gger!! :!Removed!:

[JustJJ]

Well our garage is full of a half built kit car! Its getting more built each day tho as opposed to abandoned! :P

So defrost Skye I must... I have a Clifford Concept 650... mmm intellistart is deffo on my 'I would luuuuuuurrrrrve' list.... but cant afford :(

I presume doesnt invalidat cat1??? or does it? and what about the law that states you arent allowed to leave your car running unattended??

Thats the bit I am confused about

[Tegan]

I think it does actually void your insurance JJ in some way? someone correct me if im wrong

as for the leaving it running unattended - i think that is purely for insurance purposes - i.e you void insurance if you leave keys in the car - but with intellistart - the keys are in your hand and the car is running ;) (kinda conflicting info there but im sure it does in some way void the insurance)
