The cars being kept in a dry locked barn under a car cover, theres no electricity in their so i cant have the battery on a trickle charge.
Any advice appreciated

Also tie your cover down .. some cover can mark the paint if there loose

Then go and start her every month or 2 weeks .. you could even take the battery off and trickle charge it at home ..

or treat your self to one of thoes bubbles .. i guess there £££

I know my father in law got a boat with a power full engine And he starts it up and sprays this stuff in the intake untill it cuts out .. and it lubs all the cylinder bores.. sounds a bit much for a car .. Think your on about the storage spray some use and he would of run anti freeze in the engine aswell on land

Pasty yours has been off the road for a while what have you done to your's .. for storage and care !!!

The covers got straps to secure either side, and its pretty wind proof where its kept.
I presume upping the tyre pressure is to stop them from going out of shape?
As for its only a car, yeah i know but am sad it doesnt see rain! and ive got nothing against giving it an airing on crisp sunny winter mornings, its the shitty rainy ones and the prospect of snow

Do's and don't's for someone who buys an Impreza and stores it in winter:

1. Don't forget to take your tablets
2. Don't go out in public
3. Do call the establishment you escaped out of and ask them to send an ambulance to re-internate you
4. Do make an effort while you're inthere to get a life again.

These sort of threads crack me up. If someone wants to cherish their car that they have saved and paid for then so be it. Whether it is exotica or a Scooby it doesn't matter. What matters is what the car means to that person. At this point it would be easy to throw in the "silver spoon" comment... Personally I wish your parents had rammed it down your throat along with the entire canteen of silver cutlery... So, whilst revelling in the picture of you slowly choking on something other than cock... it is time to get back on topic.

Useful comments - increase tyre pressure to 40psi
Pointless comments - don't forget your tablets.

So back on topic French Muppet (Fruppet)

I assume you don't want me to reiterate the silver spoon concept to you then? Pot and kettle. With the difference that I earn my silver spoon myself unlike you.

And yes, someone buying a scoob and then not using it for what it's built, is a waste.

Just get real, ffs, it's a scoob, not a Bugatti !

Yes mate you tyres will get a flat spot if the sit to long at there normal psi,

WR1 Bro wrote:Feel free to reiterate anything Fruppet. Just make sure you know the facts. You earning your fortune... don't make me laugh. You have had more of a priviledged life handed to you on a plate than anyone I know. You concept of the "value of money" is so disfunctional.

Buying a Scooby and not using during the winter months is irrelevant if that is what makes you happy.

My Scooby is my Buggati. I personally feel sorry for people like you who do not have that love and/or passion... Just being able to buy what you want when you want makes you less appreciative of what you have.

See ya Fruppet, hope along.
