    I think SXOC snow socks would be better than a 50p ice scraper lol.

    50p?
    An SXOC ice scraper would have a soft grip handle and contoured blade to match the glazing of the car perfectly.
    Tenner minimum

    I like this idea although snow chains may be more useful

    Could it have a heated element which you plug into the cigarette lighter so its less effort? You could just move it about randomly and it would melt the ice so you wouldn't have to put any effort in whatsoever

    I did have an idea for an SXOC warm air blower that could be fixed in place to take heat from the engine, and blow it onto the wait.for.it.............inside of the windscreen. I know !! it makes sense.
    But the committee wouldn't go for it. £1000 each minimum.

    thats because using your device, you need to go out to the car, start it ... idle it for 15minutes until the engine gets warm enough to produce the heat required, then start directing it to the windscreen and wait another 5 minutes for the ice to melt.

    so 20 minutes sitting there with the engine blurbling away ..... hmmm, you would need to sell it with a chip repair pen for the car as well, because after 1 week of doing that, the Chav spec-R exhaust will have caused your neighbours to come over in the middle of the night and key your car our of annoyance

    or

    a £10 ice scraper, 2 mins scraping, drive off, get the oil up to temp quicker ... happy car, happy neighbours

    or

    50p sock .... stay inside and have a w4nk
