If I'm out in mine and it gets caught out in a shower its more of a 'shit I've got to clean again now'
other than that it don't get wet often and lives in my garage

I used mine all through the winter, infact it wasn't the best thing to do with Polished Split rims...
I just can't understand NOT using them tbh, ...

I agree pete they are to be driven. Although i havent driven my escos for 19 months now but its only due to time not the fact that i dont want to, and if its wet so be it. I am toying with selling for a 3 door (still) cant make my mind up.

My F355 don't go out in the rain but no because of rust worries, its more to do with the fact that i worry about 90s Italian wiring.
