Im inclined to park up on axle stands and start with the list of jobs needed. An MOT in the middle of winter is a pain the bee-hind tbh. I'd like to get away from that so I can SORN the car and save myself bread. But a car without an MOT cant be re-taxed, and I cant get it to the MOT station without using the public highway...!
Carry on regardless I s'pose. Im not up fror winter road salt . I dont run any of my bikes on the road except my MX'er in winter...which is why I have one ! But to leave a 4200 idle might be asking for trouble..Still. My ultimate plan would be to lay it up...
Despite many claims it's a bad move, I notice alot of you guys winterize anyway !?
My garage is too narrow for me to raise it in there. Last winter I managed to do most of my audio upgrade with the car in the garage although the car has a few new micro dents since so the PDR guy will be called out soon. I have decided just not to bother working in there on anything other than the engine bay the body panels pick up dents so easily and its £55-£35 each to fix
I once SORNed a car when I bought a new one, tax was cancelled but they told my insurance who then hassled me to cancel the policy and pay extra fees. They wrote a letter to me saying that I could be driving the car with no tax or MOT after I SORNed it... left me a little confused, I don't understand the insurance implications of storing a car with no insurance... what if it catches fire.... does it come under home insurance?
