portable in car cooler? - scfc_151
I just wondered if anyone has come across a mini cooler that can be plugged into a cigarette lighter?

I wondered if theres anything that could hold an ice pack or something to cool the air in the car on long journeys as i dont have aircon?

just a thought

Nothing will do the job of a/c, or even come anywhere near.

You can get miniature fans to fit on the dash such as:

But don't know how efficient, if at all, they prove.

Found this on ebay in the US

Or if you have a large buget and can spare the space in the 306

There must be something suitable using evaporative cooling?

Or the cheap option...
Put a wet cloth on your face and stick your head out of the window. With eyeholes for safety of course.

I have seen your posts about the aircon and other problems.
Maybe get a different car if you want to stay cool this summer?

i seriously considered a new car primera but wasnt the right time to be spending money, therefore i fixed the other problems like getting the cooling fans working and have had to settle for this for now

after all ive managed without it for years anyway

>>after all ive managed without it for years anyway


How many times have I heard that phrase before? Do you still have a B&W television, then?

People get on the defensive, sometimes, when you challenge why they don't have a particular appliance or haven't followed modern day trends.

Get a small plant sprayer, and spray your face when it all gets too hot.

Dont forget to wash the baby bio out tho.

For me too. However, the general rule was that plasma sets were superior for the very large screen sizes until quite recently.
