Put the MM away for the winter today

[Gccch]

I have a garage pretty far from home where I can store my MM so this weekend we went to Cape Cod and put it down for the season. I did not remove the Trilogy belt for those that may recall that conversation. :beer:

I washed the outside and rinsed with filtered water using a kit the kids gave me years ago. I have not used this thing much but I really like using it to rinse the car. No drying necessary. The water dries clean as there are few contaminants left in it.

Also fixed the failed rear window trim with 3M black auto trim adhesive. Worked great.

As last year, I put peppermint oil and bounce sheets to keep the mice out and surrounded it with traps. They should be kept at bay. Covered it this year with a Rain-x car cover which was also a nice gift from the kid.

Sorry, no pics but here is one from last year when I checked up on it.

Nighty night.

I'm hoping that I have another drive or two before snuggling #19 in for another winter.

I put my Marauder away last weekend. I hate that I have to do it, but rusting out a Marauder would kill me.

My car club had one more Sunday Breakfast meet up yesterday. The Mustangs and the Marauder were brought out of their slumber for the event. (I have friends who can be trusted to drive some of my beauties).

Late yesterday, they were all put away for their winter hibernation. The covers went on... the dry agents placed inside the cars.. the mouse poison packs placed on the garage floors ... the garage doors locked. See you in late March or early April. Sleep tight my children.....

My '63 has been put away. Thinking about the '03, but it's not there yet.

Mines been sitting since August when I put the plates on my CV Sport.
Didn't plan that, but she's battery tendered, clean and resting comfy.

Now they both are. Timing is everything.
