<div>Hope everyone is managing as well as possible in these pandemic times.
</div>
<div>Have really enjoyed the flurry of activity on this list recently!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have decided I won’t be running my “daily driver” Mini this year. </div>
<div>I am fortunate to be able to work from home a lot of the time, and to be
honest sometimes a week goes by that I don’t drive at all, and I have to
remember to take my Nissan out to knock the rust off the discs after it
rains.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When I put the car away for the winter (dry garage), I changed the oil,
washed and waxed, put it on stands for a nut-and-bolt check, greased, put 2
teaspoons of oil in each cylinder and cranked over, and disconnected the
battery.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here’s what I thought to do once a month:</div>
<div>- turn the engine and wheels by hand a few revolutions</div>
<div>- steering lock to lock</div>
<div>- operate throttle, brakes, clutch, gearshift and handbrake</div>
<div>- operate all switches</div>
<div>- make brmm, brmm noises while doing this</div>
<div>- trickle charge the battery for a day</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What about the petrol? Tank is full and I put in stabilizer but a year from
now, I suppose it will not be so good?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers, Jeff</div>
