get up ten minutes earlier and defrost the mk2

saves a mint buying a car, and you legs by not cycling to work

do you put anything over the windscreen at night? i got a big fancy bin liner basicly, that i tuck into the front doors tight over the main bit of the screen. saves ages when it needs defrosting  :wink:

I find if you put a frost shield over the windscreen at night you don't get the condensation problems on the inside  :nerd:

too be fiar since ive had my magic packet of silica gel on the dash no issues with condensation, 2 mins to scrape of the ice off the windows and jobs a good un!

all in all ive been looking and i cant afford a 2nd car not even a run around think im going to look at the bike option and slogg it out with the shed Mkii that or sell it to fund a mkiv but i think i would end up kicking myself if i did as much as it does my head in I do like it and feel that if i sell it im a drop out hahah

Just think,  if i never pursued the R32 dream i would still have and now own my MKiv  :lipsrsealed:
