[ausev] !12-Volt Ice cooling with a Icester by Swampy.

[Kevin Koym]

thanks for the info on both the types of things to try.  Hmmm... i might 
have to try this out before getting my EV.

Oh... funny thing too- I just saw an EV in the parking lot here at the 
office.  great to see that there is more movement on the EV front.

thanks.
kevin
