Didn't admit to consuming said eggs! It was an experiment!...firstly a section of the paintwork was rubbed over with one of those "glaze" treatments,wiped off then quickly buffed to a shine by hand. After about 30 mins in the noon sun the surface temp was measured at close to 75 deg C. Took about 10 mins for the eggs to cook ....no residue left on the paint
.DenisM, In my Army days I used to often defrost my frozen steaks on the bonnet of the Army Land Cruiser and later the 110 Land Rover as I drove along. The steak was wrapped in Alfoil at the time and most often I could see a Bush Fire burning on the horizon about 20 minutes distant. That Bush Fire also provided the cooking embers to throw the thawed out stake (still in the foil wrapping) and cook it up. Must say the juice from the steak was acidic enough to etch a trickle pattern into the Army Olive Drab paint at the time.
Dark colours don't last in northern Australia... heat and brutal solar UV radiation take their toll especially on red and dark blue colours....
