Now dont go start telling me its not that cold where I am
compared to real cold weather like you have there, where real men are men
and swim in the icy rivers just to cool down. All I will say is its just the
kids and the wife that feel the cold and Im sticking to that story. Would
this kind of use for the cig lighter blow up my cruiser, should I move on to
sheep skin undies for everyone instead.

No JB, real men out here take refuge over a Guinness in the Irish bar and
watch the 6 nations wearing their Cotton Traders national shirts to get the
beer free;-) (I only have Ireland and Scotland shirts - very selective).
And also the military unfortunately have no extras like heated seats in
their 80's.
I think you will have to look carefully at your current draw and put in a
separate supply. Most modern cars have a higher rated socket with something
like '25 amp outlet' written beside them. The ciggy lighter is not really
meant for heavy stuff on a continuous load. Also a lot of these accessory
sockets have the - I think - iso style plug with a narrow shank at the tip
that has better contacts. But I am sure others will tell you more about
them than me.
And to answer Anthony's point, I agree that its always fun to help give the
missus a scratch when the woolly stuff gets too much for her.

morning.
