Fair Weather Fairies?
Discussion
Having had a Tiv-spotting drought through winter and the spring, in the past couple of weeks I've seen quite a few (not too many to make the Tiv anything other than the exclusive motoring choice of the discerning gentleman*).
Now does this mean that there are Tiv owners out there that put the car to bed for the winter, for fear that a bit of salt and slush will eat the chassis, or out of concern that a bit of rain will cause the brake lights to chase the headlights?
C'mon then, own up, are you a fair weather fairy or a driver of all-seasons?
As the TVR's my only car, I'm the veritable seasonal hard man...:)

I'm an all weatherer 
I actually quite liked driving the cerb throughout winter as it gave me an idea of the car's breakaway points and limits much much sooner (plus the fun of "back end outs" on wet roundabouts at 3am) and lets you get to know the car and practice for some good ol Summer 
(plus there's fewer tivs on the road so a "spot" is all the more satisfying.)

I am going to be an all weather driver as well as my Tiv is my only car. But I have not driven in the winter yet as I bought the car just before the summer. So I am looking forward to driving it in the cold and wet.
If you don't use something for a while I tend to find that it doesn't work as well when you do start using it again! This is with all things I think

So what if they are? 
...surely it is down to the owner how they make use of their own property without being labelled a "fairy" for doing so.
Calm down dear, it's only a bit of fun, I AM JOKING (you might like to try it sometime, start with 'knock knock' jokes and then build up to something a little more complex)...*
*This is a joke too, btw

I thought everyone knew that I do have a sense of humour?
(Obviously I'm flattering myself by thinking that everyone would have noticed

Phew, I came back to add more smilies to the last post, for fear that it might have come across a little vitriolic (it wasn't meant like that).

I've heard of pants with wings, but that's just ridiculous!
I know you Nick, and you definitely don't look like that. I'd hang around Lower Beeding far more if you did
You are however, undoubtedly and irrefutably a fairy
and from the looks of that pic, a w*nker too
