other Sad day for me!

Just had to put the 1600 away for the winter.  It always bums me out because I am driving my favorite car through the valley, leaves are starting to change, windows down, sunroof open.  I love that car & hate to put it away so soon, but I have a great space at a great price (about $25 bucks per month for heated garage with concrete floor!) so I guess its worth it.  I guess I'll just have to drive the 633 I just picked up last month.  Nice problem to have I guess.  Here are a few pics of the 1600 right before I put it away and of the 633 I picked up.

Life's not so bad...

 

I had a 635 once.  I drove it until you could see the road through the inner fenders.  Not a bad winter car if you put a couple of bags of sand in the trunk and mount good snows.

The term winter isn't used much around these parts.

 

 

Unless you're talking about Game of Thrones, in which case, Winter is always coming.

a bit early for storage!  there are still leaves on the trees and no salt on the roads.  it is prime driving season....

I saved pictures of your 1600 a couple years ago... still have them in my favorites section.... beautiful car. I'm with Marshall, too early yet... but like Danco, winter is treated a little differently here in central Texas...

Driving to the first snow.

Yeah, I know its a little early to put it away.  The place I keep it has to have the cars put in first and then the rest of the unit is filled with rather large boats & RV's that cant fit along the sides of the building.  But I do get a great break on the price.  I will drive the 633 until the first snow, I would have put that away but it has sat for the past 6 years & I plan on working on it in my garage over the winter to fix all of the little things that pop up with a car that has sat for that long.  I have an e39 I use as my winter car & it works great with snow tires (and heated seats, steering wheel) Its hard to give them up!  Hope everyone can enjoy theirs for a while longer and for those in the south, thanks for reminding me winter is not a problem!

 

Cheers!
