Dry here today so I spent a long time removing all the mud,cow,sheep and horse muck that the zed collected on a trip around the Peak District on Wednesday. Cleaning finished,car checked over and tank filled to the brim with 'super' it is now going into hibernation until Spring.

Well it seems I messed up my on line Sorn application at the end of October and so Kiwi is still on the road until December! I'll make sure I take a drive every reasonable day this month. :D :racecar:
 
I always used to start mine occasionally and warm it up but soon realised I was filling the exhaust with condensation and never going to get enough temperature into it without driving a good distance to evaporate it, exhaust rusts out.

Now I just leave her and yes I use a dehumidifier in the cabin stops the speaker grills going rusty.

Tucked mine up at the end of last month under a cover in the garage. Garage is dry and relatively warm being part of the house. Battery charge every 6 weeks wont be started until spring.

Do you keep your Zed insured when SORN’d and tucked up in your garage? My insurer charges £29.50 admin fee every time you make a change to the policy (I have a multi-car policy). I believe admin fees are quite normal these days. So if I SORN my Z3, it’s going to cost me a total of £59 to take the Z3 off the policy, and put it back on later. That’s more that the actual Z3 premium for say 4 months! I know I will save the road tax, but hardy seems worth it.

I do too, it can still be stolen or damaged even if it's off the road and in a garage.
