Very interesting post, thanks Brian.
I was particularly interested in the winter lay up info. Historically, I have always kept my fuel tanks around a quarter full for any long period of inactivity, so that when I started to use the car again I would top it up with 'fresh' fuel. My thinking being that there wouldn't be a significant loss of volatiles over the lay up period.
There is always something to learn in life, and this is why I value Talk Morgan so much.
