Away for the winter

[DC_Stewart]

Well, the time has come. I enjoyed the new torquemonster diesel this summer, but I got caught in a snow storm last fall, so I'm extra cautious this year. I gave her some nice fresh Mobil 1 TDT, a Mann filter and a good soak with Rust Check, then to bed for the winter. Sleep tight.

I have a nice heated garage you could have stored it in.

No doubt the nicest Rabbit truck I've seen in a long time.

Awww. That's so cute. Sleep tight baby rabbit...

I just found out that she'll have company for the winter. My brother-in-law's 1967 Camaro (below) and my newly acquired WW2 Triumph motorcycle will also be there.

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She's a completely numbers matching 1967 Camaro RS. My b-i-l is the second owner. He also has a 1970 Nova SS.

Darn, you Canadians have all the fun.

Wearing tightly drawn hoods and building igloos is fun!

Is that garage really two cars deep, and wide? Looks like you could fit all sorts more stuff in front of the rabbit.

 

[Saturn_Fan]

That is one nice Rabbit!

I would rather have that VW than the Camaro

That Camaro is in REALLY nice shape!

Great to see they both have a good home for our brutal winters. Nothing worse than seeing car like that 'stored' under an ill-fitting tarp out in the elements.

I have to go against the sentiment here - I'll take the Camaro!

I love that body style Camaro. I wanna see you line up the "torque monster" and the Camaro once everything thaws out up there.

We've had some fun this summer. His 327 works fiiiiiinnnne, but the Torquemonster gave him some worries. He was shocked that a diesel could be fast too. When I left the American stuff behind and went Euro, he was very sceptical, but the bunnytruck is slowly worming it's way into his heart too.
As for the garage, it's a great size. It would probably hold 4 Rabbits, and probably will be holding more in the future. I'd love to have a torquemonster in a nice Mk 1 Jetta coupe.

No oil leak, just the result of an overly enthusiastic Rust Check installer.

Funny! I doubt anybody outside Atlantic Canada even knows what Rust Check is. The reason I know is that I was born and raised in Nova Scotia.

The first time I turned a wrench on my first Alberta-bought car (1986 Mercury Lynx) I was shocked at how little rust there was. Since then I've owned 5 more Alberta-bought cars and none of them have had anything but factory rust protection.

 

[OVERKILL]

We have Rust Check and Krown in Ontario.

Here's a pic from a nice sunny summer day. Spring can't come soon enough.
As for those Alberta cars,a friend out there has an old 1989 Jetta Diesel that has no rust at all. They have no idea what Rust Check is. Sad, very sad.
