Default Winter cheer myself up thread

Getting really peeved with the winter.
The Cossie hasnt been out of the garage for 4 months so thinking why do I keep it and not sell it.
Then I take the covers off, look at the car, sit in the car and connect the battery and start it up. (sad I know)
Then I think, WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!, dont be stupid, we love these cars.
So psted a pic to remind me summer is coming and the cossie will be out all the time.
Bring on the summer and the shows.

Tell me why you dont drive it?? its a car not a bit of tissue that will fall apart if it gets wet. I drive my cosworth nearly everyday and alot of people comment on how clean she is, if i didnt i would be thinking like you. Use it or loose it or better still sell it to some one that will enjoy it....................P.s how can you drive all of them or keep them all on the road Or are they an investment for later in life??? not having a dig just gets me when people dont drive them

I have a company car and the wifes BMW X5 for everyday use.
Dont keep all the cars on the road all year due to road tax etc.
Also when they come out in the 6 months they are on the road they are out everyday.
Although the Moonstone one I bought recently IS used in all weathers.
Could be said they are an investment too, but one to be enjoyed as well.
And cant drive them all at once lol
If they got dirty I would just have to wash them as well (probably OCD)
