Seriously though, don't store it on axle stands. Bad idea.

Rebuilt Engine going in on 30th September so all new fluids etc.

All Wheels off and thoroughly cleaned then sealed with 3 coats of poorboys wheel sealant.

Car is borderline garage Queen, contemplating selling the Taxi and using the Scoob as a daily through Winter due throwing so much money rebuilding the engine might as well use the fucker.

If I do use as daily probably get some basic STi 8 wheels and whack some winter tyres on for the shitty months. AWD FTW

Nothing - it's a normal car That said, I may regret lowering it if there is a lot of snow as it'll just catch on the mounds of snow and ice either side of the tyre tracks

I did toy with the idea of selling it and buying a cheap 4x4 for Winter, but a semi decent one is far from cheap so I've ditched that idea -plus I'd miss the Mini too much!

Van - nothing. Just trying not to crash it seeing as it's new!

Storing it sat on its wheels isn't a good idea either

Thought of something new to add to the list too. Paint new vehicles wheels, I'm bored of grey.

Maybe put on the spare wheels, but definitely raise the front a bit. Will be a snow plough where I work!
