As for idling a car, people aren't doing that to warm the engine, they're doing it to warm the car so they don't have to stand there scraping ice off their windows, too much hard work apparently...
Years ago I demonstrated to an old git who would waste time idling to heat the inside of the car that if you drive off gently then after 15 seconds hot air would come out of the blower. That is just a blower not a proper a/c or climate control. If he let it idle it didn't get warm very quickly it had to be driven. Will they realize that or will more cars end up stolen ? Well if they can't spend a few seconds scraping I think we all know what will happen. . .
I bet the media morons didn't spend a minute washing the sea salt off their cars after covering the storm yesterday. Now that really is moronic.
Kim was out covering the cretins stuck in the snow overnight on the A68 Carter Bar north of Kielder Forest (stuck due to the wrong tyres - the snow wasn't deep).
But Hannah was cunning. Staying down from the blockage there was less chance of getting stuck. Which spoils the fun a bit
I wonder if the media morons idle their cars to warm them up. One of them has a Qashqai, at least that is made locally. Most of the cars I have seen them drive on screen are Fords. One had several 'diesel' stickers on the dash so some must be fleet vehicles run by someone who was taking no chances with the morons. They must have put petrol in it several times already.
