Plenty frost up here but I have a garage. When in my car I operate the handbrake up and down a few times and I tend to lubricate things several times.
I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

Couldn't get in, when I did, slow to start, ages to defrost screen, rear screen in Arctic, frozen handbrake great, its stops car sliding down drive, hands cold, engine on so long to warm up that the car filled with fumes, nearly backed into bins, wing mirror being duckies. Only good thing is the Cambelt which was changed, and probably didn't need doing. Happy now Joe ?
But I still felt good going for a drive.

When in my car I operate the handbrake up and down a few times and I tend to lubricate things several times. <cough cough> we saw you swearing at your doors that wouldn't open behind the hotel And come to think of it, Simon's car wasn't all that happy to lock itself. Jim, you might want to *not* lock the fuel filler once you've filled up! The barrel can fill with water and then freeze locked... and kneeling at the back of the coupe with your face frozen to the filler cap is not a good look.

Aye the car park at the rear of the hotel was very open to the cold blast, I never gave it a thought probably due to the warmer stuff last year. I wasn’t swearing I was in disbelief mode, I never gave the fuel cap any thought either, I couldn’t believe that was frozen when I spotted a petrol station with a decent price. I was in very relaxed mode as well on Saturday night for some reason.

Quite surprised BB fired up this morning especially as it's had no cover on since returning from Carlisle.
Photo from eagle-eyed passer-by I'm surprised it still has wheels on it after being in Carlisle! I used to have a very handy tool that Her Majesty issued to me that assisted motorists with frozen door locks. But, funny thing is, there's no pleasing some folks, you should have heard them grumble about one wee tweensy weensy window missing! Have you still got it Stan? ......ps, good to see you online, Merry Xmas
