just thought i'd share something i have been using for a bit, for those who do a lot of camping in areas where there are loads of mozzies. I know that this may have been covered before, so don't flame me.

I often sleep in the back of my troopy, but hate having the doors closed to keep out the mozzies coz it's hot as hell and fogs up the windows and you wake up in a car that resembles a dripping cave. :x

i made a set of flyscreens by getting fridge magnet strip from old fridges at the dump and sewing them into a cloth rectangle just bigger than your windows and sewing flyscreen into the middle of that. The cloth protects your paint, and you just put them on the outside of your windows at night and fold them up in the morning. better than some of the dodgy screw on aluminium jobbys i have seen around.

hope this helps someone

yeah, not a lot of mozzies here. lots of fat chips and haddock fed women, cider, bitter beer, rain, snow, shite kebabs and so on but not many mozzies.

plenty of aston martins and ferraris, but no decent wheelers. people here are flabbergasted that i have a 4.2litre truck and a 5 litre car. they think a 1.6l escort is soooooo fast.

but it is close to spain :D and loads of little spanish senoritas!!
