So with the recent rain, who is planning on putting their stored rides back on the road this weekend?

I was thinking of getting mine ready for this weekend so I thought I would ask what other members are planning.

Been trying to get Track Rat out for a couple weeks now, still 3 or 4 cars blocking it in (stored off site). Same scenario for Ross's car (sitting on my trailer), stored elsewhere.

Fired mine up a couple of times. I was waiting for a good rain to clean the roads which was got last week so I think today might just be the day for a little spring shake down cruise.

Was looking pretty good until yesterday... got more snow/ice and the city hit the streets with the salt trucks again... :(

I wouldn't mind waking up my cars this weekend. But seeing Wednesday evening is calling for 1-2cm of snow, means the salt trucks could be making a return.

My car is ready to go, however, I'll wait a few more weeks at least until they stop with the salt and brine and some rain washes it away for the season.

Woke it up last week. Drove it twice for short trips.

I was out for a drive in the truck on the weekend, but the car is staying tucked away at the off-site storage for at least a few more weeks. Still early yet, winter may give us one more blast!

I’m in the same boat as Rick but I got 20 cars in front of mine could be 2 weeks or more. It’s ok with me, it’s rainy season and my cars outside most of the time during summer, I just tarp it.

Fired up Ol Paint today.

Took Ol Paint for a little 60km tour of surrounding area. Saw a Michael Keaton era Batmobile westbound on Hwy9 and not one but two H-2 Hummer pick ups on King Road.

Removed the cover off the Cobra, fired it up and gave it a bath.
Took it for a 4km spin and right back in the garage.

I got excited and pulled her out of storage. Definitely needs a bath this weekend, and also a tune up. She hadn’t been started in 5-6 months so she was a bit rough at first, but fired up first shot anyways. BEAST

Couple pounds of boost no wide open throttle , just enough to light up the tires...at 40 mph..its a handful...

Well I finally took mine out for the first drive of the season. My daughter and I put a good 180km on it cruising yesterday. It was great catching some scenery and spending time with my daughter who keeps reminding me how Sinister (as we call it) will be hers someday. :-)

Man it was hard resisting the urge to push it as it still has the gas from the fall in it right now. Couple of lighter pulls on open stretches made me remember how this car puts a smile on my face every time.

Took out the 91 Fox on Saturday, then came back and took the 2018 GT out.
Both put smiles on my face, but I think I'm starting to favour the 2018.

I took both of my cars out yesterday, it felt so great to get some seat time and bang some gears.

Only driven it off the trailer. Hopefully it's not raining later and take it for a ride.

My Jag has been sitting, under cover, in my mother-in-law's underground parking since December, I would have had it out last month, but right now, because of my recovery from the broken hip, I'm not allowed to drive. I'm seeing my surgeon on May 5, to asses whether I can drive again, but even though I'm making progress, I have a feeling it will be the end of May before they let me loose.
Even then, I don't know if I'll be able to get in the damn thing. When I was healthy it was not the easiest car to climb into or especially out of, so I may have to look at something else. Currently at the top of my list is either a Kia Stinger or a Genesis G70. We will see.
