    Hey, Bill!

    Actually . . . it's just a clever ploy --- to get a ride in that 904

    'Cause whenever that car comes down? . . . I have to be there!

    I'm about to put an early 911 in to storage here in Sweden. The car will most likely sit for a few years in a non-heated garage. What would you use to keep it protected (from temperature swings, moisture/humidity etc)?

    Hi is correct about fluctuations. Wide fluctuations in temperature and humidity do more damage than the absolute temperature. You want to stabilize your storage area as much as possible.

    Here's an article I wrote on this topic.

    Thanks Richard!

    So in an consistently unheated garage, seeing slow rates of temperature change, the best I can do is to put the car in a sealed PermaBag (https://www.autopyjama.com/permabag-uk/cars/) and control the relative humidity level?

    Not 'Hibernating' So Much . . .

    . . . more like --- napping? . . .

    Winter doesn't really count for us, up here in the High Desert. Oh, it gets cold enough, alright --- single digits, even . . . but it's always dry-dry-dry

    So the car never really lays-up. Just a matter of starting her up . . . + taking her out



    So-uuuuuh . . . .

    . . . what about you East Coasters? . . .

    . . . + all the Euros? . . .

    . . . + let's no forget all you Ozzies + Kiwis

    (I know-I know ---- it's Summer Down Under . . . so show yer cars comin' out, then)
