In a lot of older cars, the glovebox is in the dash and the dash is heated directly by the sun through the windshield. Not a good situation. In my Freelander, the lower storage compartments in the dash are well away from heat so I sometimes leave a pocket camera or iPod in them. More normally, however, the camera always goes in and out of the car with me. Godfrey
