Your winter plans for your pride and joy

[Stigmundfreud]

What are your plans for your car during the winter lay off?

This year I've decided to go for dehumidified storage which is costing a lot less than expected! Certainly not much more than renting out a council garage and its less than a hundred notes a month - basically its a cost of a tank so I'm not out of pocket either way.

Also planning on getting the cars paint work revitalised by getting it detailed. A set of new Continentals are planned for feb time but thats about the extent of my excitment. In fact, I'm off to cry

Mine will be living outside like a Husky, and taking me to and from work! But i will be treating it to a service shortly.

I also am going to slap on some LPG I think. If I do I will run it until it dies, otherwise I might sell and buy myself a 68 Camaro from the US.

I used my VX220 all year around as my daily car. Including driving to work through thick snow. Why on Earth not use the Monaro all year around? It's just a car, not a rare exotic Italian rust bucket!

Install replacement engine, plus other bits and bob's then drive 1000 miles into France for Xmas

Mine's always been a toy but she needs tires and a few bits so she's been laid up for a while anyway - I guess she'll stay put for a while then maybe Roger'll get a call....

Use it every day, why would you not drive it lol
And its left outside in the rain lol

Well I'm storing it as its a 2nd car, it spends most of its time resting on the drive so its getting looked after this year ready for next. No point letting it languish when it can be kept nice and clean

You all have seen the joke that Vauxhall/Holden consider underseal?
