Hmm, I should have thought of that. Worth considering, thanks Ross

Here is a fairly compact ceramic heater:

A number of years ago I had a Porsche 914. The heat exchangers were stripped off the exhaust manifolds- so no heat as originally designed.

My wife would get cold if we drove it late in the fall or early in the Spring. So I purchased a cat heater that I hung up under the dash. It was twice as large as this unit but the output was good enough to keep the chill off of her. I'll bet this unit will put out enough for one side. Maybe get one for each side?

We've got one of those. Works pretty good.

Just wondering, Pat....if I ask "what is a dog heater?" ....will you be putting Ellie in the microwave?

It's so cold right now it's a 3 dog night. That's a dog heater. A cat heater is a smaller version. You stick the cat in your jumper whist you drive. JD

And I suppose "Walking the dog" is Chinese cooking to you?

Might have to consider getting two more dogs.

Do non-Australians know what a "three dog night" is ?
(aside from being and American rock group from the '70s) ?

Cheers!
