Got mine out a week ago but essentially, it's done, bad weather has arrived here in Western MT. I'll be running it to operating temps every couple weeks from now on, just backing it out the garage.

Look on the bright side of it - it keeps your mileage low

Putting the Beast away and returning to standard time is a very depressing time of year. In Jersey we can get another month or two of joy rides (therapy) in before the roads get sloppy with winter. I'll do my best to be out there prowling the back roads and interstates until then.

Technically I've been away for the past 6 weeks. Right after Carlisle I had to go back to college and haven't seen the car since. Im hoping it stays decent till Thanksgiving so that I can put her away, other wise I will have my father do it for me.

Will be putting mine away as soon as my house gets done, around December 6th. Building a new one in West Chesapeake, VA. Made sure I had a 2-car garage for my babies

I guess I'm lucky living in NC. I'll be using mine on the track throughout the winter, VIR, Roebling, more VIR....

Default Who's put it away....

I removed the collision coverage on mine last week and have already started my winter projects.

I finished replacing the rear bearings and will soon move onto changing the coolant and cleaning the radiator.

The longest trip mine will be taking for the next few months will be around our neighborhood.

Two more weeks and it will only be a once a month ride for about 25 miles.

Heck, I put mine away in the summer & take it out for the winter. It's too hot, humid & rainy in the summer, but the winter rocks down here.

I do feel for you guys though, as I used to put my IROC( ) away for the winter when I was a kid in Upstate, NY.
