    The wheels will tell us the block sizes. Sadly they come in 2 sizes..so I'm going to go measure some at my local dealer. They are going to think I'm nuts. :/

    Please do :-)
    Unless we have a London Comper with a tape measure to sneak up on the car?
  • I just went along to Covent Garden wearing my ninja suit and with tape measure in hand...but...there was no Skoda in a house of ice. In the photos it is in the main busking pitch, but I went all the way around the market anyway in case they had moved it, but couldn't see it anywhere. I guess that answers the questions about how the ice wasn't melting/the lights/etc.
    Thanks to all OPs and everyone who helps/posts etc!!:T

    Well thanks for trying anyway.
    In the bit I found online it did say 19th Feb, think we all assumed it would be there a few days at least.

    Bet ya looked fabulous in the ninja get up though.:rotfl:

    My reasons for asking were;

    1. Wouldn't the lighting rig (and ambient temperatures) melt the ice?
    2. Wouldn't stacked blocks of ice weighing that much require safety barriers?

    They say that they weighed all the ice before it was erected and that is the weight we have to guess.

    There was a small barrier in the photos I saw.
    :D
  • Must be losing my mind, as i thought I posted yesterday. I don't think its standing on ice, but would be interested in your opinions?
    thanks
  • I Typed in 4 random numbers, making sure they were higher than the weight of the car... Wish me luck! haha

    May good luck be your friend in whatever you do and may trouble be always a stranger to you.

    In case anyone wins in and doesn't want to keep it......

    webuyanycar.com will offer you £17,185 for it (bit of a loss from the £24,525 they cost to buy)
