I thought that writing just a line would be nice style change... lol ;) I use both all the time, I use the Peugeot for work commuting and daily Madrid traffic horrors (my 406 Coupe is a diesel) While the Ferrari is the one I usually drive on weekends, and only excepcionally to go to work. I do not think I could resist a full winter not driving the Ferrari, plus I trully belive that the problems in any car start when you don't use them enough. I miss Southern California though, there the Ferrari was my daily driver. Please do not confine your Ferraris to a long stay in the garage, they won't shrink under some rain, just drive according to the circunstances. Snow/ice is a different matter though, I won't take it out with snow, fun, but risky. - Julio. | ||

I would drive the Peugeot in the winter and spare the Ferrari. Although good weather is good weather, which means that it is fun to drive the Fcar.  | ||

I thought of putting wintertires on my 360 but this cost a bit too much. I just keep it in the garage and turn off the battery if I don't use the car > 3 days. Else it's what Trevi said : when it's not snowing use and drive that bloody car or else buy yourself a Peugeot. Didier. | ||

I just keep the car during the winter in the garage. It's warm, spacious and dry. That does not mean that I don't drive the car in the winter. On a nice sunny day I take her for a drive (as long as there is no salt on the roads). Ton | ||

Marc, yep, you asked the "Bonkers-Dudes". And the answer comes as anticipated! But I swore you, we are not kidding - its true. For a serious answer, how to protect you car for dust, frozen, battery, tires, oil, rust a.s.o you should ask the gents who store their "garage-queens" over winter and don`t drive.

have it in the private section of a public parking garage. no cover, no dehumifier and all that other hippie-stuff. just turn off the battery. dust goes away when i'll take it out again next season. the only thing i do is to wash the car (only wash, no waxing and polishing) and fill up the fuel tank. | ||

Drive, just drive my Ferrari when the roads are dry and no snow or ice are on the roads. Have NO season plates! If I can not drive during the snowy-time (2-3 weeks)my garage has a heater and is dry and the car is covered with a paletot. So I do not think about all the things you must or have to do for the "hibernation". Wolfgang FORZA FERRARI | ||
