It was snowing today, just a hundred km's away from where I live (ski resort in the mountains). Snow is forecast here on Friday. So today she got washed and put away in the garage frown

like Marcus you have a very short viper season, were quite lucky here that we can drive ours nearly all year and there's always some nice sunny days over the winter, usually we just need to avoid a few days of salt on the road

Hey!

It's sunny and warm here - all week long!

But it is FALL - no doubt.

Put +8k miles this year on the two Viper so far.

Not bad :-)))

P.S.: enjoy skiing! I will.

Dave, you have a reply.

Yes, my Viper is from UK, and was Andy 'from up norths' old Viper.
Thought that was his yellow SRT in Luton. I heard from him he was selling it.
I'm tempted on a new one, but it has to be a coupe. A blue/white stripes SRT coupe.

Wheels are off all winter. The car is up on axle stands.
(I let a mate drive the car this summer. He's a good driver, but alas, not used to LHD, and he scraped a wheel on the curb. So I'm sending off a BBS wheel for a small refurb).
Oil changes, and all service requirements will be taken care of at home. In my garage. In winter. With the fire on warm. And a cool beer. wink
I'm also thinking of some silicon hoses, a new auxillary belt, and a PCV valve change. After that I don't know what to do. Guess it's just polishing ?
