I don't, though I've kept it taxed this year - actually, I have 5 road legal cars at the moment :S

Not sure I see the appeal, though I would like to get some 'surrounded by snow' photos :)

I was home for 10 days and did one track day, greasy but drying slightly in the afternoon and only 6degrees so less than ideal conditions for AO48's... all good fun though.
