Likewise, one of my neighbours asked if I'd be handing out earplugs to all the neighborhood for when I start up the Cerb before going for a run :blackeye

Our neighbours are all gems. One lets me use her garage when I have too many Lotuses to store. Others are always over when I wash the cars (couple times a year at present ) asking what we've been buying.

Thankfully only the Scoob and Evora were noisy enough to threaten their hearing aids

That's the way to do it!

But get that salt rinsed out the underside soon...

Lack of roof, heating, windscreen etc. makes winter motoring a bit sh*t tbh.

It does, they make no difference at all if you have all your winter gear on. Really needs heated clothing.

Just got to the poll (Tapatalk doesn't support them, AFAIK, so had to wait until I had time at a "proper" computah). Went with 1 but 3 has been known too, LOL.

Never, ever deliberately garaged the Elise over winter in the 18 years I had it, and it was only garaged this winter because it was lightly immobilised.

Great to see such commitment to using toy cars throughout winter. Extra bonus points if you have been out in the snow in one this week...
