Looks like yours is struggling seeing as it's upside down.

Mines fine, just needs a clean!

Roof has been down as much as possible!

Ours is doing well, fitted the hardtop for a short while but removed it again now as it's been quite mild upto now.
Had a great run over the snow covered north wales mountains between christmas & new year, roof down all day!!

Have got her MOT due soon though, so giving the old girl a bit of a service and general tinkering before I take her in - fingers crossed!

Haha, Not a chance!

She's now lovingly cared for by John Woods Motorcare (along with my 75). :thumbsu:

Which reminds me, I Still owe Simon & Martin that pint for recommending a proper garage! :oops:

Heated garage -- what a luxury, Ted! :lol: (greetings from your “old home”, by the way!) I haven’t even got a heater in my shed, which makes winter spannering even more enjoyable 8-)

Mrs P has to stay outside all the time and guess what I found this morning:

The second helping of the white stuff this winter. Luckily it will all be gone over the weekend, if the weatherman can be trusted. For compensation I treated the old girl with a nice warm wash and wax later.

Driving was quite okay, with a good set of winter tyres on the wheels, apart from the lunatic men in white vans going down the motorway in the outside lane (still covered in snow!) at about 80 mph. :roll:

Mines doing ok, hardtop has been on for a while (boooo!) and the car is all covered up with a breathable cover. Took it out this morning for a long run then cleaned and polished it before wrapping it up in its cover again.

Roll on the summer though ay...miss having the roof down
