Aero-M Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Same for me, I take mine of the road at the end of september, wait until march or april to re tax/mot it. Keeps it out of the the snow and grit and hopefully nice for a long time. I do miss it though, it's only been 19 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New cars maybe, not a 16 year old car. Im sure mine, that doesn't go out in the rain or driven through winter in all the crappy grit will last longer rust wise than one thats driven all year round. Mine has a couple of very nice 13 tog duvets under the car cover, with a heater for those especially chilly of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think im just jealous really because mine has to be on the road all year round as have no where i can keep it undercover:p But i make sure it does get regular washes and waxings to keep corrosion at bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aweegin Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 ..I had always presumed to garage her over the winter..but I would just miss her too much.. so it'll be out with the waxoyl, keep her washed and avoid the days when the roads are like a farm track around here. I can still use her on the good days then..for the sake of 'the now' £190! I can't face doing the distances in my van that struggle to top 65 on a slight incline in a head wind.. i just can't lol Good luck with all your winter mods guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
