whos is now off the road for winter?
I own a black non sunroof Tintop and it gets bloody hot in the summer, ill still rock it.
Theres lots of leaves on the road in Autumn, its slippy and unpredictable, drive with a bit more care. ill still rock it in Autumn
The winter brings ice and rain and cold, Ive got heaters. Ill still rock it
Spring! the best time for my car and ill deffo still be in it then
Its the only way people!

I might keep the s1 off the road all of next year to get it looking immaculate again. Would love to have it ready for the summer though! Hoping to fit new seats in it and exhaust while its off the road and get the more door cleaned up a bit as I go along

Im fortunate to have 3 other motors inc. camper so don`t need to drive it during the winter.
People may say "oh, its meant to be driven, not just in summer"etc, but if you`ve spent a lot of coin getting it just right I don`t see why you`d want to drive it in crappy weather, especially when they`re prone to rusting…
Look what happened to YRADaves car last winter, it slid into a lamppost, and there`s no accounting for that.

As mine is my only car to get to work I use it all year round. Besides, the engine is all the better for regular use, I don't think it would appreciate sitting dormant for months. I love driving it in snow, it makes everyone else look stupid, it can get up a snowy hill from a dead stop while they're still wheel-spinning at the bottom :twisted: I'm not so keen on ice, but even then it does fine. Worst bit's de-icing the windows early in the morning, but I've got a garage now…wooohooo!!!!
Gotta respect that, brilliant!

Is it more cost effective to tax for 6 or 12 months when you know the disc will be surrendered after a month or 2?
