Bufty for me. No winter driving as my shiny arse end will get dirty.
Looking forward and hoping for a Indian summer.

Mines a garage queen, it wasn't intended that way it was origianlly purchased to be a bit of a hack, dog transporter and potentially future classic if we got lucky. However I think we got lucky so were careful about what goes in it these days but the dog still enjoys his little forays out in it. I love it but I'm not that precious.

Mine's a trackday toy, don't really drive it in the winter so I only usually tax it in the summer months. I've got a van to use as a daily driver, but I wouldn't hesitate to get another e30 for a daily if I ever needed to

Mine is a garage queen and I taxed/mot'd it from the beginning of march because of needing to get it to my new address from its storage location, so have used it on a few dry only days albeit the roads have been a bit salty
When the bad weather passes the underside and arches are going to get a bloody good wash!
I wouldn't usually take it out when the roads are like this but I've had to fix a few bits and take it for a test drive and also the fact that I'm loosing a months mot and tax is annoying so I want to get my moneys worth at every best opportunity...
