Default OFF THE ROAD TIL NEXT YEAR NOW

As title it is time to take the scoob off the road for winter as my work has took a dive and money is tight, I'm hoping over the winter to sell few parts and hopefully address a few things on the car so will see you all soon plus i will be updating my thread in the project section over the winter with some new ideas for the car so heres the link to the thread if anyone would like to read what Ive been up to

https://www.scoobynet.com/projects-4...e-machine.html

also had abit of a stress today as when i took it to work for the last time today and when i got home i pulled it in the garage and my sebion carbon splitter hit something and this is what i seen after



I'm hoping i can put clear coat on and build up the layers as all the top coat has come off and its now bare carbon and pics makes it look not bad but it is and I'm gutted as it cost a fortune

see you all soon guys

Let me know when you want to exchange favours mate.

If you want a bit of cash in hand helping me with my upgrades let me know when you are free.

side question, when you take these cars off the road for winter, do u just garage it and drain the fluids and disconnect battery? or start it up weekly to keep battery running etc.?
i just heard these engines are not too good when parked for long periods without moving them..
