Well here in Toronto the weather is getting closer to snow...so I thought i would give the car a good bath and take some pix ....I will be putting the car away for 4-5 months (sux) for the winter.

Here a few photos...some of the my 6 year old snapped ...he is a car buff.

Beautiful car!
Sorry to hear you will be without her for 4-5 months. Hope your winter vehicle isn't too depressing to drive.
Make sure you prep her for her hibernation.

I am sure she will be safe and warm ready for the thaw

I am sure you will miss her. Nice....

Awesome looking! Sorry to hear you wont be able to ride her for about 4 months. I get the itch when I dont get to drive mine for 4 days!

Ensure you warm up the engine every so often, move the car even a foot so its not hard on the tires on one spot, let the engine warm up to lube the entire engine, also buy a battery tender.

Wow, 4-5 months? And I thought we had it bad in Chicago! Wait a minute, we DO. Its only November and weather's getting crappy... I'm looking ahead to next April... 4 long months away...

Anyway, lovely car. She'll be as happy next Spring as you.

Beautifu Beast!
I know how it is. Mine is in hibernation since 18 days. Will be out in spring (april...). Have a little Golf for the winter (and wifes SAAB 9-5).
Luckily I can go down to the Garage now and then, just to look at my Beast makes me happy.

Should be Beautiful (not Beautifu)

I imagine how it's like being without the beast for 5 months. That's like not being able to take the Harley out at least once during the weekends.

Lawaia.. do you see many M5's on the big island.

BobM5... Move on down to Texas where you can drive your Beast anytime its not flooding or during a Hurricane watch. Since your car has air conditioning, you'll be okay with the sub-tropical gulf coast climate during the summer - 100% humidity and 98 degrees. Beautiful car. How many miles on the odometer?

Is there like winterization steps that need to be done in order to keep her safe. Just curious
