Posted: Wed Dec 10, 2008 1:30 am Post subject: Winter Storage Advice Needed |
|
|
Now that the 986S has become my garage queen, I am forced to store my 924S outside this winter. I have been starting the engine and running it about once every week or so, and have a car cover strapped onto it.
Any advice on storing the car outside this winter?
Thanks,

Listen carefully to Paul if he has any input on this. . .he managed to change his black interior green over one winter. _________________ Toofah King Bad

Yikes...I am thinking I should start moving the kid's bikes, and the other crap out of the garage and making room for the ol' girl...
