i'm doing the same, taxing it from April for 6 months. I couldn't go out last weekend or the one before when the weather was nice but now it gives bleeding snow again
I think i'm going to risk it though...

But the weather last couple of weeks has tricked us into thinking winter is over!!F17RAK wrote:I feel you guys, i pulled the cover off my car last night to take the battery out to charge, it just called out to me. But the weather report for this month dont look good.

I've just decided that I'm keeping mine indoors for another month, snow=salt on roads=no good.
Also, would feel like a right t*t driving around in a cab when it's snowing !!

Sorry chum , no offence meant, but if we have such goodtime cars,(and I have too), why wrap 'em up in cotton wool for half the year? Be brave, go enjoy. Lets face it, till the mini everything was rwd. since then the worlds overdosed on too much soft tit and fwd. Drivers or drovers? all the best.

Hmm your right about october, last year it was actually quite nice, i'd be p1ssed if i taxed it for April and all we got was rain and snow (the sky today is so dull and dark) and then october proves to be one of the best months for weather...
