Why Does My Car Keep Steaming Up On The Inside

[Tilly2]

when it's standing on the drive?

My neighbours' cars don't steam up but mine is absolutely dripping when I get in it. Why?

[gness]

Blimey....I've driven you.......was that why your knuckles were white?

Ask Cory what she's been up to in the back seat.... ;-)

I think you have the same car as I do Tilly- and mine does that, so did my last one. The heater dries it in seconds, so it isn't a big problem, but wonder if it is the type of car. It ices up on the inside too a bit.

[corylus]

Not a lot Gness these days, not a lot....

[gness]

I know, Cory....especially a two door......getting in is exhausting enough....anything more would need paramedics on standby.... :-(

I have heard that filling an old pair of tights with cat litter and putting that under your seat helps....as long as you can explain it in an accident I suppose.....x

[Tilly2]

Pixie, mine's a Vauxhall Meriva. It ices up inside too.

Gness, I know that you are an excellent driver but going for a spin on the motorway with anyone is not one of the things I would choose to do.

[corylus]

It's me legs Gness, small car..........

[pixie374]

So is mine...

Gness... a motorway... tights... cat litter....
Sounds reasonable, Tilly! :-)

[Tilly2]

I could try the cat litter even though I don't have a cat.

[Tilly2]

It must be the car then, Pixie. How odd!

[gness]

I don't suppose you can use old airfields now......that would do....I learnt to ride my motorbike on one.....then a car before I was old enough to go on the road.....that'd be fun...we could take a picnic...x

[pixie374]

My last meriva did it, but Astra before didn't. Don't know if the glass roof has anything to do with it. I keep a small towel in the glove box too.

[pixie374]

Think you still can at Bovingdon airfield, gness. Preferably when the market isn't on :-)

[Tilly2]

We could have a picnic in my garden after you've finished whizzing around the M25, Gness.

[corylus]

Bit cold on an airfield on your bike Gness, unless most of the airmen were there to help out.

[Tilly2]

I think the airmen have long departed, Corylus. :-)

Gness, won't be on her bike, she'll be in my steamed up car.

[gness]

Yes....the legs.....feet on the roof isn't very elegant at our age.... :-(
I have never driven through a market, Pixie....but....I have been a passenger when a man did....I won't go on market day...... :-(
Airmen! Now that'd warm me up!!!!

Is it possible to whizz on the M25?.......Would it be round and round?

[corylus]

Cowards!
Thanks for making me laugh with your post, every time I get into my car (at the moment) and wait to demist the screen and rear windows I'll think of you.....

[gness]

Do, Cory......think of me with my feet on the roof of a small car......and Tilly clutching cat litter filled tights....add a policeman questioning us just to make things worse..... :-)

[Tilly2]

I have loads to do tomorrow, now.
Clean car windows.
Buy cat litter.
Find an old pair of tights.
Book Bovingdon Airfield.
Arrange insurance for Gness.
Buy picnic ingredients.

Anything else?

[Tilly2]

I've never done the feet on the roof thing. I've always liked my comfort. :-)
