During the harsh winter season here in Minnesota (November through March), I am fortunate to keep my Duetto in a heated garage that includes a wash bay with hot and cold water. I do my best to drive it every 3rd weekend or so during the winter, so long as the driving conditions are conducive (no snowstorms and relatively dry road surfaces). I have a 50-60 mile loop along rural roads west of Minneapolis to properly exercise the Spider, top off the tank + Stabil, and return to the garage for a complete wash and dry, top to bottom. I find both the drive in the country and the washing up afterwards to be very therapeutic. I believe the Duetto feels the same way, as she hasn't leaked a drop of oil in the past few years. In my opinion, there's nothing better for seals, gaskets, carburetors, ignition systems and tires than regular exercise. I enjoy driving with the top down, so I do so unless the ˚F temps are in the single digits (I dress in warm layers and keep the heat at the max). If I do put the top up or down, I am careful to do so indoors, in a warm environment to avoid a cracked rear window. The anticipation of another drive in the country, keeping the revs up in that sweet 1600, helps me get through the winter. Nothing better.
