What to do for the winter ?

[Dyer864]

Hi all !

Over the last couple of years i've been driving the supe all year round ! , but after last years antics in the snow and the car being abandoned for nearly a week and got it the way i want it looking now, so don't want any silly accidents being as its non lsd

So i've been thinking of getting a little runaround for the winter months, but wot do you guys do ?

 

Do you sorn your supe for 6mth's say, av you got to insure your supe for the full 12mth's when really only driving it for 6 to 8 mth's,(i guess so, or you won't get your full no claims i xpect,) or is there a way of getting around it

mine is sorn over the winter months, i have a stormforce cover for it these covers are great, once a week if the weather allows i turn it over drive it forward and back a few yards, i have a little run about for work got the wifes car to. few pics of how good these covers keep your car looking.

I will be using mine as much as possible, all that nice fresh cold air making it go like a rocket:cool:

Nice to have a second car though, I dont think id want a supra as a daily driver, i love having a 4wd car as my daily, last year i had a navara and this year i got a quattro equiped S4 for playing in the snow.

Push the Supra to work in the snow.

 

Pansys?

But seriously, second cars are worth it.

Plus in the snow you can bounce it off the kerbs and into peoples wheeliebins without worrying too much. Experience talking

luckily being a bus driver if the weather gets too slippery i get the staff bus so she stays in the garage,but snow in bournemouth is as rare as seeing a supra drive past your house!

I always sorn mine for 6-7 months of the year. I keep it in the garage covered up.

The salty roads can't do it a lot of good, and I know it's only a n/a but still is a lot of power to be driving in the snow and ice.

I seem to remember a time when all cars were rear wheel drive and we got through the winter just fine

do what i did buy you self a £500 megan and handbrake turn around every corner and roundabout its a lot more fun than a supra in the snow.

Classic range rovers are cheap these days, just dont go buying a 4.6 p38 as there a bit fragile over 100k

Never SORN mine as there is always a nice clear crisp winter day that makes your car really fly as Jamie said.

Get a cheap smoker

Any hints and tips on storage would be really useful if you've done this successfully before, with no problems. What do you do about your insurance, cancel or just cover fire n theft?

..as others have said. It's an easy argument if you already have a second vehicle, I have my work van..so I'm in the category.

I keep her on the road all year round as there's plenty of dry days too...if it turns again as last year did, into a longer snowy winter..i may be tempted to sorn her for a few months..and a good excuse to to them little jobs that just go by the wayside.. My tax is up the end of October n that's a bit too soon for her to think of relaxing lol
