RogerH Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) I've been a bit slow in getting the BlueRacer into its Winter home. So today (as it wasn't raining) I took her to the petrol station, popped the Sta-Bil into the tank and then filled her up (@ £1. 409/Ltr) Then went for an eight mile drive to get the magic mixture into the float chambers. And then into it's lair. This time I have put a decent tarpaulin covering 100% of the car. When I got her out last May there was concrete residue here and there from the roof panels. It was difficult to remove. Roger Edited December 12, 2023 by RogerH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RogerH Posted December 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Hi Pete, I don't think so. It is just draped over the top and laying loose. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foster461 Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Roger, is that gbp 1.4909/liter ?. ie 140.09p, They must be rounding up or down those fractions of a penny no ? Stan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted December 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Ha Ha I can't afford the £140.9/L petrol (liquid gold) so I went for the £1. 409/L The stations normally display it in pence - 140.9p/L Yesterday the garage was down to 136.9/L Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Harbottle Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Roger, do you put any sort of wax/polish on the car before its storage. I have always wondered if there is any benefit or not to waxing it up for storage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
