fahoookin' cold!
 
What's it like round by you?

Spent all afternoon refleeting 25 cars for our main contractor and getting them ready for collection at our place. Ford Fiesta's are crap. End of. Anything below -3 and the back drum brakes just freeze on! Had to get my hot power washer on 6 Fiesta's just to unfreeze the hand brake! What a load of shit!

By the time I'd sorted the last car at 17:30 this evening, the temp guage on it said -6.5c :yikes::yikes:


Which also means the drive to and from work this week is in the quattro!
Slowly sideways around the unit is fun!!:D:D

As I drove to work this morning at 05:30hrs it was - 8 just as I went over Junc 13 by Argos. Then it stayed there or thereabouts until I got into Cannock then it went to -5.5. Then on arrival we just re- cycled the system on the air con into my office and had it at 25 degrees then all day. Lovely.

It was that bloody cold last night that the frigging milk was freezing in the pipes after we had collected it, by the time we got to the next farm we had to thaw out all the valves with hot water :shake: Not much fun
