Well, after driving a mammoth 300 miles over the last 12 months, The 400SE is now going away for the winter (also due to the insurance and the MOT running out!)

Remember.....a rolling stone gathers no moss! Regular weekend use all year round, that's what I say.

Agree with zig, will do a 'classic' and thus easy going rally in October and continue to drive it, as all other years if it is in working order, throughout the not summer seasons. Think I ended up driving it more in winter due to the 'special maintenance' it required between driving opportunities. And the salt as used on our roads is not getting to the body work wink and chassis.

Drive mine in the winter when its dry on roads , great to have the roof down amongst all the tintops .

Winter is the best here, summers a bit too hot I won't take it out when it's above 40 degrees

We always get snow before the end of October and it stays until April so I am hoping for a few more weeks of nice weather.

Amazes me that people do this. Just as many bright days in the winter as in our average summer now days. A bit colder but cant see that putting off someone who drives a Wedge?

Where are you in Canada ? Spent some time there working in the early 80's , Alberta & sask , some nice days in winter when the chinook (spelling wrong) wind blows. Drove some nice v8 trucks and cars over there , those gravel roads are fun !

I live in Winnipeg, or Winterpeg as some like to call it. We are too far from the mountains to get chinooks and yes a TVR on looses gravel roads is a blast.
