redface If I had that car, I would at least invest in a decent outdoor cover. angel

Do you drive it as a daily through the winter months?

Ideally it would be tucked away in my garage in weather like this. But unfortunately i still havent managed to sell my RS shell which is taking up all my garage space. The sooner i sell the RS the better. A decent car cover is next on my list. I was going to throw my Classic Additions cover over it which i have for my RS, but the snow caught me off guard. Now i have to wait for it to melt before i can get a cover on it. Luckily i had cleaned the car before the snow came, so there is no dirt under the snow scratching away at the paint work. Just have to put up with the kids getting the snow off it, ive warned them to stay away from the car, but when my backs turned they do it anyway. Getting fed up with it as the alarm goes off everytime they go near it.

I will be driving it throughout the winter as it is there to be used. It will be coming out for Breakfast Club at Goodwood on Sunday, aslong as i can get it off my road.

My first ever TVR drive and ownership moment was a pick up in the same weather conditions with a drive back over the welsh mountains...lucky for me the dealers put only a 1 gal of fuel in the tank and it ran out in the snow on dual carriage way contraflow at about 9pm 3 miles from the dealership with them all gone home. The battery only just had enough juice to start it ( flat at the time of pickup ) after I ran down the road for fuel in the snow thinking my new TVR was about to be side-swiped by something on the contraflow in snow... stressful it was.
Made it home fist TVR, over the Welsh mountains in a blizzard arrived at about 3 am....quite exhausted the next day. ( Chimaera 4.0HC )

The medium size cover from halfords actually fits over my sagaris pretty snugly. It's cheap and easy to get hold of.

Matt, there must've been a lot of snow to build up that high, as I assume, like all Griff owners, you kept the roof down wink

The News seems to have ignored how much snow we've had in Lincolnshire!





As I had 'man flu' I sent Mrs YB out to clear the top driveway, hadn't the nerve to ask her to dig the TVRs out

I would never put a cheap car cover on any of my cars. They do more harm than good. I will be ordering a Classic Additions cover for it this month. Hopefully someone will take the shell of my hands and I can get the TVR in the garage.

I was going to dig it out today but had to clear the road with the neighbours as the gritter could not get up it, the Co-Op lorry then got stuck so it was all hands on deck. Then it was one hell of a nightmare at the shops for food. Looking forward to digging the Cerb out after the day I've had today.

I can see why the suspension was down, after clearing my car and then looking at the pile of snow it's no wonder with all that weight on the car.
