Hi Dan:
Park it and shut off the engine. Disconnect the battery, put some rat
banquet on the floor and throw an old sheet over it. You've =
successfully
winterized your car. I assume that you have done things with the oil =
and
antifreeze.
You guys don't have winter there anyhow, do you? Come to think of it,
we're not getting any this year ourselves. El Nino - YESSS. The
temperature was nearly 50 degrees F here today which must be close to a
record. There is no snow! Last year at this time we had nearly 2 feet =
of
permanent snow and it was 30 below. I love it. I could even be driving =
my
MG top down today - if I hadn't put it into storage for the "winter" =
which
we don't seem to be getting. My grass is still green. We might even =
have
a green Christmas. I sure hope so. It'll be my first one after 57
Christmases.
