Well I have found last few years the winters haven't been as harsh as previous years
If it's dry and no salt on road I tend to try and get it out occasionally

I use to do that until about 3 years ago when I left the De in the road for about an hour when working on my father in laws Volvo in the garage and a van just happened to come down my road and see it there with no tax and the next thing i know there a recovery lorry outside trying to tow it away, it cost me near on £300 for them to leave it there so now its taxed all the time just incase

I will admit I received my cheque from Her Majesty 2 days ago. It's not quite in the garage though - not enough room ;)
