The best way to store it is park it over night,and drive it everydayIt's a hoot in the snow

 

First, fill the tank, I mean really top it off. You want as little air in the tank as possible.Add Staybil (sp), drive it around the block a couple of times to get it all through the system. Put the car up on jack stands and disconnect the battery and remove it. Get yourself a battery tender, to keep the battery fresh. That's all I can think of. A friend added Staybil to his S2000 for a year of storage and when he got back, the car started right up.

 

Was curious how the Mini is in the snow. I have an MCC on order and if I like it, I may buy a MCS as my commuter car. It is going to be hard to justify as I have an '04 Prius which I REALLY love!

 

Lots of information here.

sta-bil works great. I would recommend getting the tank to about half-full, put in enough for the full tank, drive up to the gas station, fill up, and drive home.
Don't bother with jack stands. suspend your insurance-except for comp!
Make surte you DO NOT set the park brake
put something between the wiper blades and the glass (I used folded paper towel last year)
oil change when you pull it out in the spring.

 

My MINI is my winter car The AMG goes in the garage

 

Great
