** OK, maybe I should buy one.
Do they work well below 0°?
I know that LCDs stop working around that temperature. I once froze my Apple Newton in my freezer, to see how it responded.
It was dull and very slow to respond. Luckily, I didn't cause condensation on the components on the PCB! I didn't think of that.
 
Does 'wind chill' effect the thermometers accuracy?

** OK, thanks!

** Dunno yet. Can I just go by my GPS?
Man... How will that work, at sub zero temperatures!? I might have to keep it warm, somehow for it to work!

** What do you mean about the torch?
Do you ever need to start the CT110 up, with the choke on, in sub-zero temps, or does it work perfectly without needing the choke?

** Do you have heated hand grips, heated gloves or both?
I've got heated hand grips, but haven't glued them on or wired them up yet.
What's the best type of glue to use?
I need to be able to remove them in future, years later. So I think a hot air gun will be needed to soften the glue, to allow me to slide off the grips, but I don't want the glue to soften when the grips are hot, from being turned on full.
 
Do Oxford recommend a type of glue ?
I got mine 2nd-hand, no manual.

Thanks.
