Hi all
Was just wondering how many of you out there took their cars of the road during the cold wet and salty winter months? I know these cars enjoy to be driven as much as possible, and after reading a Sprint article this month (Nov) it got me thinking. The thought of not driving this truly fantastic car for a couple of months is a little worrying, but on the other had salt corrosion and gritter lorries???.
I guess theres the cold dry sunny winter weekends, that will get me out for a drive or two
SO?
Whats do you guys and girls out there do?

I drive it as much as in the summer If possible after a salty road run, I hose down underneath and in the wheel arches and then tuck it up in the garage after a dry out. A good waxoil (or your preferred sealant) in the Autumn will help, but hell, driving in the snow is just too much fun to resist

I am a bit more cautious over winter, both in terms of how often i take her out and how i drive. I become a bit of a weather expert and only taker her out when there is no snow expected.

Always try to go for a good spin at least every weekend

Cerbie is in the garage tucked up on charge, but my other half comes home in just over a week, and it will be his only car if he has to be somewhere when I'm using mine. But don't think it will come out if its snowing.

Thinking of the position of the garage, if its icy or snowy it won't come out, he won't be able to get it out.

And he has a ride drive booked, so it will be coming out for that. Weather permitting.
