Need to store my 911 over winter in Aberdeen

[daveinscotland]

Hi Folks, I havent posted on this part of the forum before, just once or twice on the Porsche section, but thought I would give it a try as Ive noticed there is a fair presence of Aberdeen based folks posting now and again.

As the title suggests I am trying to line up some kind of lockup / garage / storage for my 993 over our chilly winter months in Aberdeen, and just wondered on off chance if anyone had any ideas.

Ideal would be somewhere in a fairly good part of town where I could 'forget' about the car, and maybe take it out once every 2 or 3 weeks for a spin.

Maybe a long shot, but thanks alot, Dave

he he, yeah, wanna keep it in pukka condition so it handle abuse round knockhill come the spring!

thanks for that folks. i musta been feeling a bit dense when i posted that, but i hav now
lined up an ideal garage right in the centre of town from an advert in the press and journal. nice n secure !

trickle charger - sounds like a good idea ! would i need anything else as i will
prob leave it parked up for a few weeks / months ?

cheers
dave

a7see - cheers for that, i actually went to the council a few weeks. was hoping they might have something close to me, nr queens cross, but they were mostly across town in bucksburn. cheap though!

peter - i am sure they were about 35 quid a month. there is old chappy in the council building above the st.nicolas centre who looks after the rentals etc

Dave,

Make sure you leave the handbrake OFF, or you might have a problem getting the car to move again !!
Also if you leave it for months I think it's recommneded to lower the tyre presures.
If you don't have power for a battery charger I'd either leave it disconected, or maybe check it starts ok every week.
Check antifreeze in the washer bottle etc.


.......

thanks for that. i got lined up with a garage a couple of streets from my pad, so ideal. planning on checkin on it once a week or so to turn it over. will bear in mind about the anti-freeze. well chuffed to have it off the road while the weather is crap, as i wanna keep the car in really good nick. roll on spring ! cheers, dave

Ross, I rent my garage from a local guy call Angus (cant rember his surname) who owns a number of garages around town. his moby no. is 07909 996029. He may have one available at the moment or coming up. mine doesnt have electricity however. hope this helps
