Re: What have you done today thread?
Took the step f-I-l to have his cataract done. On the way home, I really messed with his head by keep turning the heated screen on and off, which makes the screen blurry/fuzzy to look through.i was near wetting myself at his comments of its going funny, I might need to go back, no it’s alright now. I had to tell him in the end before I crashed as I was laughing so much. Him, less so…

Re: What have you done today thread?
Don’t wanna worry anyone but just wanted to let everyone know that I have been admitted into hospital and they are keeping me in. I have only gone and poisoned myself. What I thought was an onion turned out to be a daffodil bulb. They said I should be out sometime in the spring…

There was someone on TRC who used to turn the heated seats to full when his wife was asleep and turn them off before she woke up.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Today I have decided I am not hunting the great white squirell and ordered more appropriate traps after the traps I have had been licked clean for the third time.
Well maybe mr squirell has watched the original Mission Impossible and has gone all Tom Cruise on me, but my money is on one of his smaller relatives.

Did not a lot. Got up late, Watched Glasgow Celtic struggle to get a draw (Pathetic) Went to B&Q for doors for my bus kitchen units and some nice trim to hide my shit sawing straight lined. Probably fit them tomorrow and fathom what part of my air suspension is leaking.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Years ago my mum got me a sleeveless fleece for Christmas. Later in the January when i visited she asked did the fleece fit ok as i still have the recipe. "Yes mum and it was perfect in the arms" she said "Oh thats good as you are such an awkward size to buy for "Taipan wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 3:39 pm Took the step f-I-l to have his cataract done.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Wait, what, how, that's not normal
I really don't like heated screens, as once you've seen the wires you can't unsee them, but going fuzzy because you turn them on is a new one on me.
Re: What have you done today thread?

Re: What have you done today thread?
Don't like them at all. Wife had a company Ford 'Somethingbiggish' Ghia* for a short while. As well as that ^^^ I thought you got more flare in the screen when night driving. Never noticed any change when it was switched on though.MrLongbeard wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 2:07 amWait, what, how, that's not normal

*Can't remember which model but they'd chucked all the extras at it. It was a forgettable barge.

Re: heated windscreen.
Loads of people know the McLaren F1 has carbon construction, gold lined engine bay etc., its less common knowledge its got heated glass throughout to save the weight of demister blowers. Not the kind with tiny wires though, its got metallised glass which heats evenly all over
You just need that.

Re: What have you done today thread?
My wife’s car is the same and my old Kuga did it too. It’s a known thing. I only put mine on to clear ice as I. Couldn’t drive with it on because of it. I don’t see the elements either, If I have my bifocals on I can’t help noticing them and they irritate me!MrLongbeard wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 2:07 amWait, what, how, that's not normal

Re: What have you done today thread?
I've had a few cars with the "loads of tiny wires" heated front screen, I never noticed any distortion. Googling it though, seems like it's "a thing".
Tres bizarre!
I can only imagine its tiny distortions in the glass caused by small variations in temperature?

Re: What have you done today thread?
Made three different flavours of amaro with my Christmas pressie from the Gremlinette, a make-it-yourself infusion kit. Sacrificed a bottle of vodka and a bottle of bourbon for the cause.
They have to infuse for two weeks or so, but I have high hopes that in 12 months I will be the owner of the UKs only amaro distillery.
