Failed.

Washers froze on the way in this morning. And once you've pressed wash wipe theres no stopping the wipers. Slight visibility issues. ::)

Lickily I had a bottle of water in the car. Window down, sploshed the windscreen, and away.

Must have had a brain fart last time I filled it up, as I noticed the outside tap left on, hose under full pressure and frozen solid. So that'll all be f@cked when it thaws out.

Arse. Failed. :(

I did that last year only I didn't notice until it thawed out and I arrived home to a geyser of water spraying from the garden tap..

I've used her Smart Roadster a few time in the cold with the roof back ..... as long as the heater is set to warm you're fine.  :y :y
