Drive it. These cars don't like being laid up.

If they are gritting (aka laying down the Merc dissolving stuff) better stay at home

Otherwise drive drive drive

Every car I've had which is unused for any more than a couple of months has required a not-insignicant repair when I started using it, so I avoid that now.

You'd better give it a clean first......



Christ, that is one fantastic finish on a black car.

WOW what a Machine, Had a cracking drive to MB world to attend the Pl meet. Brutus Didnt put a foot wrong, Also had a chance to open it up a little within limits of course, Christ it moves. Certainly felt zero -60 as quick as the Cls63 Bi-turbo we went in on the Hot lap.

Returned a indicated 27.6mpg average on the way there, But dropped on the way back lol. Awesome machine and ive decided to run it over the winter period to avoid laying it up.

Good idea to use it over winter
However be very careful not to use it when the roads are being gritted

You've got a rust free 2002 211... keep it that way Gavin

You know that pic on my project section where the arch was bubbled up onto the main body.. that was a winter of it running down the M1 130 miles every day... whenever it said 'gritting in progress' I had my fingers crossed... LOL
