Sorry mate unfortunatly i don`t use mine in the winter it goes into hibernation there are a few who use them all year round maybe they will give you a sensible answer? I think Simon AKA 21TVR is trying to organise a winter track day that might be worth considering to find the limit in poor conditions Tony

What do you do to store it Tony? I am going snowboarding for the winter so mine will have to be put away for a few months, and I've never 'rested' a car before.

make sure you have decent rear tyres as with the conditions it starts to slip more. also keep a spare set of windscreen wipers as the screen heats up so much with the heating it tends to knacker the old wipers! otherwise i run mine all the time have no problems.

Nothing different to any other car regards running, if you mean the driving experience, then get yourself some driver training on a skid pan or similar if you are worried about spinning

There is no reason why you would spin unless you are heavy handed with the controls (i.e. wear clogs and jump on the pedals), I have run my Tuscan all year round and not had any problems at all - and I dont pussy foot around!!

Hi Marcus
What i mean by hibernation is not as you might think! not like the Blue Peter tortoise I will still get to start it up every week and maybe run round the block every couple of weeks,i will fit the jump leads to be on the safe side and put the garage heater on for a couple of hours a day when the temp drops the car will be covered by a execellent "car craft" cover Tony
