    Hi All,

    Thoughts on storage over winter vs keeping it for occasional winter use. I know some of you daily in it, but I'm worried the UK salt roads will kill it.

    Any tips appreciated.
    Cheers

    Mine gets sorn'd at the end of October and doesn't come out of the garage until the beginning of April. Yes ok I miss driving it but the thought of all that salt getting in everwhere makes it an easy decision.

    Also fill it with fuel and optionally pop some fuel additive in (I used to when I had an F430) to help keep the fuel fresh. A partially full tank allows moisture to get in.
