Overnight temp of -6c = no driving in the morning. All frozen solid, windows won't budge, doors won't budge. Hope it warms up soon.

That's looks suspiciously like a garage door in the background?

Could you not get a cover? It would drasticly reduce the 'ageing' of the cerb as well as prevent things like the above.

Looked just like mine this morning.

Warm water round the driver's window and 10 mins with Electric Heater blowing inside and all was well.

I too was going to take a picture, but apart from number plate yours looks exactly the same as mine

You need a garage

Then, if it's cold, do what I did before heading out on TiTT3 - Put the tumble dryer on a timer - on high for as long as possible prior to getting in it.

Yes, just not mine. I do have an outdoor cover but won't that just freeze to the car if the car is wet before putting it on?

My plan is to point a fan heater at the drivers door until I can get in and then leave it running inside the car until all is defrosted. Then keep driving my TVR until global warming finally lives up to its name and solves my problems.

It's a kiss of course rolleyes

If the kiss is visible to you on your car, then it adores you as much as you adore it.

Is it the lightweights only that have that due to the lighter bonnet build or all?? Just I have a kiss although a lightweight kiss!
