Couldn't get in the car this morning, dreaded door seal freeze. In no particular hurry so left it an hour and door opened but wouldn't shut lock frozen open, at least the handbrake wasn't stuck. My wife went sea swimming at 730 this morning and i couldn't even get in the car!
But it is Friday 13th

Of I didn't check the fuel cap, badly needed fuel, ring of ice nearly an inch thick, drain must have blocked again.
Isn't there something about bad luck only lasting until midday on the 13th?

So maybe rethink where you keep the coupé?
