Mines barely been out of the garage since I got it in February :evil: - will hopefully be getting an MOT before the end of the month but I won't be taxing it until 1st of March.

My Tech 1 will be away as soon as I empty the garage. 8O

Is taxed until end of december so will take it out for the odd run if we get a nice day, then will be sorn until the weather improves.

A few bits to do on it, full service and such like.

Will still have fun in the snow in the Subaru :D

The e36 328i convertible claims the garage, so e30 will be driven loads over winter.
Having said that, anything that needs fixing, then straight into the garage for tlc.
All cars are taxed & insured for the whole year, why waste it.

I put mine away mid September, more because of the road tax than anything else, mind you, driving round in a Clio doesn't half make me appriciate the BM.

Opposite for me.

My summer car is going away this weekend with only one more planned run in it this year. :cry:

The E30 was MOT yesterday and Taxed today ( due to DVLA website being down) I plan to run it all through winter.
E30less again.

pfft, these cars are made to be driven. I'm sorry im not old enough to appreciate it sat in a garage as some kind of ornament. I will drive it till its stuck in the snow like my other cars.

Does scare me a little, the thought of ice, rear wheel drive and a 2.5l engine with no traction control...man its gonna be fun.

My cabby was SORNed at the start of this month, so is in the garage already. I may have to do a bit of shuffling and move it to my other garage (15 miles away), just to free up space here for other storage. I'm sure plod won't notice the move when it happens winkeye

Currently tidying up my "winter runner" - the HOONda civic aerodeck :o:
