OFF SORN

[Tozerman]

With the weather forecast for next weekend being warm 15 degrees and dry who else is thinking of taxing their car and taking it out for a first run out of 2121? 

Me for sure 😁 Going to be enough rain over the next couple of days to wash the salt away, what is there to loose 😎

Mines a daily lol... Long way round for essential shopping!

Mines booked in for all its essential work 😏 Mid March......and i shall be taxing and using from April 1st (Hope thats not an unluckly omen in itself) thereafter.

 

And i can read, be told or listen to all the (Likely very sane) reasons in the World why i should use it in the Winter. But it aint happening !

April 1st is the date I have in mind too. I can understand the limited effect of salt on galvanised steel argument, but I have quite enjoyed laying it up for winter, gives me a chance to do a proper clean and wax and actually have it stay that way for a while!

MOT'd, Taxed all year, you never know if your daily's gonna let yer down . Only been off road this winter due to refirbing/painting brake calipers. All finished and back on road last weekend.

Eh, it's my daily, so I just try to keep on top of it all. Not too difficult with the relatively mild UK winters—only if grit is out, really. I'm under it every couple of months doing something, and I wash it every week or two even at this time of year.

 

I thought I might enjoy it less in the cold/wet, but it's actually been fantastic. Think I'll commit to keeping it on the road full time.

I've run the car as a daily and a "fun" only car.  I definitely prefer the latter; it feels more like an occasion and the experience isn't dulled by the weekly shop run, for example.  The purpose is always the drive, never just reaching the destination.

All points above are valid for each Individual. 

No right or wrong here. Personally my car is a toy and not a daily. It is for that reason I don't want to use it over winter. 

Anyway finished my winter jobs today with a machine polish of the front end. If I say so myself it is looking good 😁

So I taxed it and took it to fill up with v power 😊

When I can ill put some pictures up and show what I have done over the last four months...
