Hi Freddie

Yes there are more Scandinavians out there.:) From Norway currently living in San Francisco.

Winter storage;

Remove batteries; place inside at room temperature charge once a month.
Fill gas tank completely to avoid condensation.
Jack car off the ground and place on four stands.
Make sure radiator has enough anti freeze.
Replace motor oil.
Make sure washer fluid tanks have enough alcohol too.
Crack windows a little for ventilation and place some baking soda on the floor in a tray for moisture absorption.
Clean wheel wells and under the car to avoid moisture and rust. Especially the wheel arches on 8's gather a lot of dirt.
Polish the car and cover. If you have any cats in the area, shoot them.
Feed the leather with a dressing of choice.
Bleed brakes if it's awhile since last service.

Not necessarily in this order, and I'm sure I'm missing something...:)

Regards
Carl
