Tom Tom Tom,
Why do you want to park the little car for the winter??
Having driven Midgets in Wyoming, Colorado, Arkansas, and Pennsylvania
for more than 20 years I see no need to store them for the winter.
Drive it!!
Then you do not need to worry about fuel stabilizers, batterys, hoses or
anything else. Yea you might need to wash some salt off once in a while -
but not real often. For some MOWAG reason Midgets tend not to rust as
badly as their big brothers (B's)
The only time I have not driven a Midget in the winter (Usually with the
top down) was when it was parked due to not enough money to pass PA
inspection. Since I got it running again - I drive. I went to a swap meet
one time with the top down and 2" of snow on the car.
Even one time drove 250 miles in a snow storm to see my family, (have to
admit to top up that time)
