Paul Hill Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 Can’t believe how much dry weather we have had this winter. I have took my beloved car out every Sunday or Saturday for the last five weeks. It’s been fantastic to use the car this much in totally dry weather. Anyone else taking advantage.

The roads have been white with the stuff for a couple of months and there hasn't been sufficient rain lately to wash them clear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iain Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 Yes been out twice this weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyR100 Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 Yep, mine is used regardless of the weather - to be honest I could do with some heavy rain around here to wash the salt away, there is still plenty on the roads which has usually been removed by now. ……… Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John McCormack Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 It is 39degC here today. The cars and me are staying indoors. My BRG TR2 is my daily driver so it is out a lot. The other TRs I try to drive on a 30km run at least once a fortnight and a long run every month or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Hill Posted March 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 Hope the weather holds we are in Sydney for a week next month before embarking on our cruise Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve-B Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 Only driven out twice in last 2.5++ months due to Bucks Co Council turning the roads white with way too much salt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Hill Posted March 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 The last month have seen no frosts in Staffordshire so no salt, been lucky I suppose. We will definitely get some salt this week but hey ho I am off to Spain for a week on Thursday, nice and sunny there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuartG Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 Regular (2/3 times a month) dry winter use here in Somerset where they dont salt the roads much apart from the A303 I have always found that the car loves all that cold air intake and goes much better on a cold day than on a hot summers day.

TRTOM2498PI Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 I have been managing around 60-70 miles every other Sunday, & whilst dry, the roads still appear to be a bit greasy, but that could be because of 340bhp in the TR6. The cold air is a benefit though, there is a noticeable difference in charge temperature via the intercooler. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
