I think it looks gorgeous!
I too couldn't last the winter with that sat in the garage,and with regards to how much you've spent on it : Its your money,I'd personally never spend that much on tuning a car,but fair play to you,if none of us did it,it would be a very boring world indeed!

It's not winter yet? It's only bloody August.I used my classic minis and even my elise in all weathers and i'd only consider putting a car away if it were truly rare or fragile....
Not sure about putting it away for the winter - I would have said "fair enough" if it was a tuned MR2 turbo we were talking about here, but even then I know people who used such cars in winter, only stopping when the snow meant they physically couldn't move the car off their driveways.

I've got a classic Mini, and I don't see the need to put it away until last minute. Cars exist to be driven, not sat for 5 months flat.
