My Pingi arrived today but I'm not fitting it as the car is bone dry, I just didn't want to be left out of the Ping massif :wink:

I've gone for on the coat hooks behind the drivers seat. Wear it with pride & all that.

Yet so far my penguin's been asleep!

OK, now that your all pingied up this has to be your next purchase - only £3.79 :-)

As you can see just opening a door can send the humidity up in your car (youll also be able to check how your pingis doing)

When door is first opened humidity is 62%

But within a minute it starts to climb with the door open even though temp remains constant

Ive gone a bit pingi mad and my car doesnt even leak!

I got them to prevent any moisture at all damaging and aging the inside so there are two 450g ones in the inside cabin, a 250g one in the boot (hopefully help keep the ECU nice and dry) and another 250g one in the frunk.

do I hold the MR2 pingi record?

When I get in my car now I can feel my skin drying out!
