I have a couple of spare parking spots for anyone who'd like to winter over in the unfrozen south. Bring your clubs and you can get a round in at Pinehurst while you're at it. (That probably wouldn't work well for Arne, though.)
You might reconsider that offer when 10 of us Canadians show up at your door next December

I am looking forward to just getting mine out to wash it, let alone drive it. The forecast was for 10 this weekend and I was oh so excited, but now the headline reads (Days of icy impact in Ontario, major weekend storm looms) and the forecast is 2 with a chance of freezing rain. Will spring ever come

sorry mines comes out all year here in metro ny - except when theres white stuff sticking. cold temps make the tires glassy which with prudence isn't a bad thing. its a car! granted big wide z rated tires wont do well on snow in addition to the front splitter being a plow.

I kept reading waiting for a problem; glad there wasn't one! Mine sits for 6 months every year.....hopefully will wake it up at the end of the month with similar results.

Cheers,
Dave

Best of luck Dave 👍

This was the third year I have stored mine for the winter, and so far it has been problem free 😊

thanks; third year for me too. All I did was a full tank of non-ethanol fuel with a shot of stabil and the car's been hooked to a maintenance charger the whole time.

Have just come back from a longer trip today. Went to see the shop to a new JLR dealer and weather was relatively warm and nice.

Finaly some grip so I could push the car a little. Everything works fine, and it was just a blast to have some fun in this car again 😁 I am a very happy (and lucky) F-type owner. This car is a keeper for shure 😎

They are rather nice with a good selection of cars/models (and good quality coffee machines, large TV screen showing marketing videos, comfortable sofas and a nice selection of car magazines). Unfortunately I don't have any interior photos, but I will try to remember that next time.
