I would but just don't get enough time or can get it high enough up the priority list.

Yep. Mine was cleaned last week. First time since August. I'd *like* it to be more frequent, but compared with shedload of other things I either *need* to do, or *want* to do (e.g. drive it) it seldom gets up to the top of my priority list

I know the feeling. Maybe one day....hopefully soon...I will be able to spend time washing/polishing cars and it be my highest priority task for that day & not have to worry about anything else! Looking forward to that day!!
I have 3 other cars to use and abuse so the Maser was always bought to keep nice & be a treat. I'm always happy to DRIVE my cars and use them well for their intended purpose.

Mine all clean again too wrapped up back in the garage.
Jet wash, snow foam (top, wheels, wheel wells and underneath), jet wash, shampoo, jet wash, dry.
Only takes an hour all in, ready for the next outing, depending on whether we have cold snaps any gritting, could be a while now.

Just been out in the Mk1 Gti and boy was that fun, first run out in 2 weeks and purred along nicely, as involving to drive as the Maser and as much fun! I also took the MX-5 out, both in the rain and had no problems despite spinning up the front and rears respectively!

I took both my TVR's and the 3200 out in the snow too, a bit mad really, but its a car and if you want to go some where in it, then .... no actually i use my sensible car when the weathers bad, the 3200 and the TVR's are comedy items in the snow. Newton puts snow tyres on his 4200 and runs it i am sure, i think with the right tyres its ok. my 3200 never caused me a lot of grief in the wet, you just have to tone it down a bit and enjoy the slide .

Some people's slips are showing on here!
You'll be telling me next that you don't do more than 4,000 miles a year or have any passengers for fear of creases in the leather!

Do only about 1500 miles in the Maser. Not many passengers but often the kids. No worries about creases in the leather as have a spare interior I got from Zag
That TVR must have been fun in that snow! I bet with winters on it would have been ok though. Put winters and smaller wheels on my old SL60 AMG & it was as good as gold.
I have no issues with using cars for their true purpose....driving! However the 4200 I bought is a long term keeper & in such good nick it would be a crime not to keep it that way.

It's not about power as you may not know. Weighing 800kg and having a lively 1.8 Engine it pulls well and corners fast, very involving, nice gear change and just a lovely place to be!
