Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

One would think that getting heat from the engine to the interior of a car would have been a fairly easy thing to figure out how to do well. It's basically a matter of running hot water from the engine coolant system through the firewall and devising some kind of heat exchanger

This is Jaguar in the late 60s (when it was developed). They probably did something to shave weight or just didn't give a fuck. I suspect it'd be frigid in the winter - even with the top up. The engine temp was just fine. So, it should have put out adequate heat.

They may have expected the drivers of those vehicles to use a different model on the cold days

Well, it does in fact have a heater - or at least controls for a heater. It does move air, but it's not very warm. Given the condition of the car, I'd guess that it was never warm. It could be a heater core issue, blocked coolant somewhere, or even air in the lines. But, the engine temp stays solid, so it's probably just shitty.

Either way, you have a fair point. 'Snot like I'll be driving it in the winter. I have cars with actual good heaters that work nicely.
