Harder it rains the faster you need to go, is my favourite man logic for the winter months, driving an open top.![]()

Mike6 said:Intend using my Zed at weekends or nice days throughout the year. Not sure whether it has been covered but if you do intend to store your car over winter one issue to think of apart from the usual recommendations is to ensure you have a tank full of petrol. With the EU requirement to up the ethanol in petrol, water droplets can form in a partially empty tank, causing rust problems and starting difficulties.

It works so well. I just miss heated seats. (I really didn't think this through very well...)
buzyg said:Heated seats it a 100% must have for a roady in the winter. That was bad man logic. :?

It gets driven when I'm at home (and not just short journeys), and regularly cleaned afterwards. Its garaged with a trickle charger when I'm not at home for a few weeks.

The price was good man logic though. Made up for the lack of heated leathers! Plus the car desperately cries out for some sport seats too.
:lol:

Modern tecniques of testing body shell construction and durability have improved from the old Bmc / fisher Ludlow days!
ronk said:I'm sure they were - but equally the environmental testing that body shells go thro now must be as tough if not more so? The protection during manufacture is improved I'm sure.
Environmental testing is an accelerated life time of conditions. Salt spray, heat , cold grit blast etc. in the rusty Bmc, ford and Vauxhall days I don't think this sort of testing happened to the same degree?
Next time my car is in the dealer and on the ramp I'm going to get a look underneath :![]()
The main manifestation of body damage that is stone chips rustng. Underbody / chassis rust is a thing of the past generally.
