What do you lot do to get your own scoob ready for winter? For me it's just a case of putting in the garage and forgetting about it lol. Although I do go and warm her up twice a week . To stop it going flat.

 

Put in garage and remove in spring.

 

I need to clean mine, thats about it...

I buy cars, they built for driving. So thats exactly what i do with them.

 

Mine will be getting a coolant change, but thats about it

 

winter tyres and a service and good to go for winter

 

Surely winter is what they're made for? Why put it away in the garage for the winter? It's like packing away your suntan lotion when the sun comes out....

 

Put petrol in and drive it!

 

Tell her the white stuff is coming... make her excited
Then drive it like it was made to be driven... well!

 

Damn good jetwash, fresh underseal, a good coat of polish to protect against road salt, check all levels and top up if necessary, tank full of v-power then sit and wait for the white stuff

 

Drive it

 

Why would you let it tick over twice a week to ''warm her up?'' That's doing more harm than good.

Just a shame you're wasting your time as polish doesn't protect

 

unbeliveable , i use it most in winter, way safer than a front wheel drive

 

Business as normal

 

Some winter oil/filter and a coat or two of a durable sealant and that's about it. Oh, had an involuntary coolant change too this year when my radiator shat it's load!

 

lol Fonzey

 

put the studded tyres on it.... thats about it.

oh, put a bucket with 2" of screen wash n a bit of a sponge in the car port.. to clean road spray off the headlights, else cant see where the fack Im going when it gets dark out in the sticks.

 

Up the concentration on the washer fluid and maybe a good coat of sealant if I'm feeling keen. Then eagerly away the first snow fall of my first winter with a scoob

 

It does when you're using carnauba wax.

 

Wax is not a polish, that's his point.

Polish is for cleaning, wax or sealant for protecting... Totally different products!

 

I will struggle this year with a 400bhp RWD v8 but I shall try and use it as normal......

 

Well, depends on how pedantic you want to be.

 

Good luck - make sure that you pack some nice warm boots in the back when you have to abandon it. I had a RWD S14 200SX and I can't tell you what a struggle it was to get anywhere. If you have to stop going up a hill, you'll never get started again lol

 

I almost bought one a few years back until I watch one struggle outside my flat for a good 10 minutes before I decided to go and help. Literally, he had no grip what so ever.

 

I'll be driving mine and cleaning it

 

wait for the snow like a big kid

 

Snap. Plan to wash, polish and wax this Friday as I have a day off to myself and the weather is supposed to be good.

 

I used to have a 400hp 3-door sierra... Tried to take it for mot in the snow as i just spent 5.5 years and £35k building it...

Had to get a couple of neighbours to push me out the street but other than that it was ok.

Except for half a mile down the road after having passed the mot a pair of pikey ***** is a connect shunted me hard at a roundabout and wrote the ****** off, before they ****ed off too! (Road was only wet at this point)

Oh, it had 225 wide rear tyres, so that didnt help with grip in the snow.

If you dont have any, get some snow chains. Awesome things, used them on my old vivaro down the m4. Gave me the ***** to do 30mph in 2 foot of snow and pass every other ****er on the road!
Till i got to a point where the snow had melted and they all over took me as i could only do 30mph pmsl

I still have a pair, so might stick em on the wifes car if they will fit.

I will leave the inpreza on the linglongs and try not to put it on its roof lol IF it snows...

Wernt we forcast like 20 feet of snow for november? Not seen any at all!

 

Just washed my one, front end was a different colour to the back!

 

I just fitted my winter tyres and serviced it,

 

17" back on with fresh rain sport 2 all round
Coolant & oil change yesterday / de icer & windscreen blanket in boot & she's all set
