Damn Good idea Patrick,
         We have the same problem over here - do you have any 
recommendations as to which is the best type to use.
         We usually have a bottle or two of Engine Coffee (a.k.a. O.B.S  or 
Old Brown Sherry - the fisherman use it to prevent their hands becoming 
frozen to their rods (fishing poles to all those who thought a rod was 
anything else)) in the car on the way over. Of course 2 bottles are only 
enough if the event is quite close by - say within 20 Km.

          Then at the event we dose ourselves with copious amounts of B & 
C  which usually manages to prevent us from freezing. One of our members 
also distills a fine "Mampoer" which always goes down very well. Difficult 
to explain this one but it starts off life as a peach and then through 
various stages of boiling and condensing ends up as a very effective "anti 
freeze" - actually makes you "glow". A small amount inserted through the 
spark plug hole is usually a surefire way of getting a cold, stubborn 
engine to start as well.

         Enjoy your show.

Keep the revs up (or down)
