Snow is coming in soon so will be the grit and slat, its time to disconnect the battery and garage the car to lock up away for awhile as i don\'t have a under-seal yet.

People say if ur Rotary are not driven regularly then its bad for it? what are the cos of this and how long are they taking about? guess one our 2 months is ok?

I ran mine all winter, three years back to back- some proper scary moments, but not a scratch on her :Thumbsup!

My personal experience is that she ran better day to day rather than being left parked up. Oh, how I miss her :reallymad

High power, rear wheel drive, no electronic driver aids, wet & cold weather...
