Handy tips number two!
Discussion
I found that when the rubber seals around my front and rear windscreen (beetle) started going really gritty and perished, that if I got some clear sillicone sealant (like you'd use in the kitchen/bathroom round your tiles) and rubbed it into the seal with a cloth/finger, it came up practically good as new once cured, and has lasted 3 years since so far !

Heres a handy hint - dont leave a can of Diet Coke in the car for three months. Especially when it freezes overnight. Come to the car later and the can has exploded (didnt think that they did that) and dispersed an even spread of brown sugary liquid over the magnolia leather interior of a Chimaera....

Here's a few for you:
Save time when crossing a one-way street by only looking in the
direction of oncoming traffic.
Thicken up runny low-fat yoghurt by stirring in a spoonful of lard.
Avoid arguments with the missus about lifting the loo seat by simply p155ing in the sink.
Vegetarians coming to dinner? Simply serve them a nice bit of steak
or veal. Since they're always going on about how tofu, Quorn, meat
substitute etc 'tastes exactly like the real thing', they won't know
any difference.
Invited by vegetarians for dinner? Point out that since you'd no
doubt be made aware of their special dietary requirements, tell them
about yours, and ask for a nice steak.
Motorists. Enjoy the freedom of cycling by removing your windscreen,
sticking half a melon skin on you head, then jumping red lights and
driving the wrong way up one way streets.
A sheet of sandpaper makes a cheap and effective substitute for
costly maps when visiting the Sahara.
Nissan Micra drivers. Attach a lighted sparkler to the roof of your
car before starting a long journey. You drive the things like dodgem
cars anyway, so it may as well look like one.
A mouse trap, placed on top on of your alarm clock will prevent you
from rolling over and going back to sleep.
