Do you tuck yours away??
Discussion
From posts on various threads there seem to be a number of classic car PHers who "tuck their cars away for winter".
Seems strange to me - I expect a lot of the cars are tax exempt so there's no benefit in taking the car off the road, insurance is relatively cheap for a full year so again little financial gain.
I can think of nothing more enjoyable than a crisp cold sunny winters day and a drive (on relatively quiet roads) with the hood down.
I suspect it is the worry of inclement weather and maybe salt laden roads but cars can be cleaned and hosed down and they should (IMHO) be used.
So perhaps we could have a rough "straw pool" into how many people tuck their cars away and why?

Consequently I don't think it is fair to say either way whether it is right or wrong to lay up a car for the winter as it is simply a matter of what you have and your ability and financial well being to maintain it in the condition you want.
I agree and each to his own. Apologies, I wasn't meaning to be judgmental into what is right or wrong, just an interest in other PHers decisions into whether to "tuck away" or not Gassing Station | Classic Cars and Yesterday's Heroes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
