Haha, I guessed that you were going to ask that from the thread title.

On long journeys (3-4 hours without stops on the autobhan) I tend to put my left foot on top of the handbrake.... this combined with flip flops result in burn skin during the winter and frostbite during the summer..... I put it down to being a Land Rover quirk and just griz through it.

I guess a little bit of duct pipe and point it down to your toes would work.

Went to the DIY store and by accident saw that PVC 90° tube. Put it into the oven at around 120°C for some 15 minutes, that makes it soft like plastilin, with gloves formed to fit into the opening of the heating and along the center console pointing towards the bulkhead, sprayed it matt black, adhesive foam tape around it to seal the outlet, the air is distributed rather evenly and only the feet are warm. Home made, working though, and I have seen a lot worse DIY ideas. Did not take picture yet of the installed things.

This is what I have done to prevent "Puma Leg" Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

Made out of an Aluminium Door Plate- bent at each end-Covered in some Black Gaffer Tape and then stuck on with some Gorilla Tape. Works a treat. Keeps feet warm or cold as required instead of my L leg and SWMBO's R leg.
