Learnt my lesson
 
Well I learnt something new about living in Canada this morning. Never leave a fizzy canned drink unopened in the car overnight. I unintentionally did that yesterday with a Pepsi and at some point during the freezing night you can guess what happened. One exploded can with the contents sprayed over the dash and inside windscreen nicely frozen! :)

:eek: at least you didnt compound the mistake by trying to clean up by licking the pepsi off the exposed metalwork:)

I like the way that Canadians have continued to use the word 'pop', it's kind of died out in England. It's sort of charming.

Aye...still used in some parts of the states too, like PA...
but keeping anything in the boot overnight usually ain't a good idea :)
