Well have just SORN the Monaro...
Need to give it a really good clean and polish over the weekend and put it to sleep in a mates heated garage
Hell the garage looks better than my home
Was also considering investing in a CARCOON??
Have any of you guys bought one and if so what size??

I took mine for a savvage thrash last weekend before giving it a wax and putting it away. Cheque for the road tax refund arrived yesterday.
I start a new job in London in 3 weeks and will be catching the train every day. Don't know when I'll get the opportunity to use the Monaro except the odd weekend.

The reason I don't use it over the winter is I'm in a lucky position in that I have a new Astra to hammer down the winter salted roads( Monaro isn't under sealed ) and if the snow does fall I have a Disco to help avoid the traffic jams and go down the lanes . ... And giving tax to the government for a vehicle that is parked up really grates me...

Use the R8 year round too, I never understand this, we don't drive Ferraris or Lambos where I could accept the winter housing idea. Unless it's a winter like we had in 2011, generally snow and salt exposure is at a minimum...

Don't understand why you'd put it to sleep either I use mine daily rain or snow
She's on the road
I've owned mine since new. I have 2 other, more practical cars and a motorbike to choose from. Paying £500 tax and enduring 14mpg fuel economy whilst sliding around in an 800hp, rwd car does not appeal. The paint on my car, apart from a couple of stone chips is original and immaculate. I should really sell it but I know I'd regret it and nobody would pay the £20k it would take to make me part with it. I've spent too much on it to let it go for a song so I keep it nice and use it on sunny days.She's on the road

Well I don't pick my car up till next month and there is no way I am leaving it off the road till the nice weather comes Am used to the Beemer in the snow anyway, so a few hundred extra horse power ain't gonna make much difference... Riiight?!
if its got white stuff on top and more than 0.1 degree incline, you'll be going nowhere!Gassing Station | HSV & Monaro | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
