With temperatures like that bear do you need to take extra care with things freezing, like pipework? I don't know what temperate anti-freeze etc works down to in cars, etc off the top of my head, but I'd imagine it's risky business firing up a car in weather that cold anyway?

In proper cold places they use "block heaters" that keep the engine block warm using your mains electric.

Yes, I have it in my car, heats engine and I have a heater in the car as well I use sometimes well always at work so driving home in the morning doesn't start with a hassle. The morning it was -27 though the clock in the outlet froze so it was to slow and the heating had not started but the car started fine anyway.

I take it even so you still have to wait a little while for the car/engine to warm up to operational temp before setting off?

Not really, a few seconds modern diesels are fine, I won't rev it though. Diesels take longer time to get warm and it takes really long time at idle.
