I'm putting the BM away for winter, wrongly in the eyes of many, but I want it to stay in immaculate as it is underneath just now... and I am quite looking forward to bringing the ST200 out of retirement and using it as a daily again.


Cheers,
Grant

in all the years ive mucked about and modified/tuned old cars and spent many more thousands on them that i like to admit ive never put one away for the winter. its a car not an ornament.

even my most user unfriendly car, my cosworth converted rwd toyota celica that cost me about £28000 to restore and modify and was stripped out with no carpets, radio or anything ,2 bucket seats with harnesses ,the hardest most uncomfortable suspension ever and had plumbed in fire system with in car fuel cell and the high and low pressure pumps in the boot was a daily driver in the winter. ahh the good old days....

SBT83

There's only one thing for that......

I can understand why people dont drive them in the winter cause the road salt makes our fords bloody rust.

I enjoyed mine last year in the snow I had a bit of fun in it.I came sideways in my street and nearly crashed the cossie.
