What to do over winter

[Kcerb]

I posted this in the Cerb forum but thought I'd put it out here too:

Hello,

I’ve hardly been an active member in recent years but I've had my cerb for over 12 years and now I do have a couple of questions.

Do others stop using their cars in the winter months? I’m thinking that just leaving the car untouched for several months (on a trickle-charger) won’t do it much good, so what regime do you adopt? May be start the car every couple of weeks and turn it round on the drive?

My second question is much vaguer. I am planning to retire early and spend the winter months in the Caribbean (it’s a hard life) and for reasons I don’t need to go into it’s not as easy to garage the car now. Do you think there’s any chance of me finding someone who could store the car for me? in a barn with power perhaps.

It’s a long shot and I’m not sure what the arrangement would be, but I can imagine a TVR fan might enjoy having the car around. I’d appreciate your thoughts...

P.S. it’s a near immaculate ’99 speed six, as original save for TVR power rebuild, Intrax suspension and ACT big bore exhaust.

What!!! Some of the best driving ever on a cold crisp Winter morning with the top down

.... Oh, guess your top doesn't come down?



Drop it up here, I'll make sure it doesn't seize up

Well yes, that's what I've done for the last 12 years (with a top!), but where I'm going the roads are even worse than here. Though the weather's better...
