I also forgot re the lucidas mine was M reg and still has no show of any rust, brother in law has a J reg, its the same still mint, he had to have a head on his though, he cooked it. The only thing they are a bit heavy on fuel, 28mpg but will run 50/50 on veg oil/ diesel.

Norm remember most lucidas and estimas are 2 wheel drive
all the ones i looked at that were 4WD seemed to have 8 seats
also get a insurance quote i sold mine to to insurance prices
also look at TEOC owners club

4WD will have solid back axle 2WD is independent set up on the rear they will run on 100% veg oil in summer 50/50 in winter needs to be well filtered down to 1micron i always added 5% petrol to mine always mixed in 5 gallon lots before putting into the car

I can't help going playing when it snows :-) It's so I know where the limits of grip are .... honest :-)

That's pretty much the same crappy excuse I use. Can't risk getting rusty and blaise with adverse conditions though, can we.

So now I'm looking at getting a set of 4 winter tires.
It's more economical to just have the local tire place change them than buying 4 new rims.
But what's the score with storage? I was thinking, cool, dark and stacked in a pile of 4?

Sounds good, it's UV (sunlight) that does the damage.

old blankets between the tyres work covering them keep the bottom one off the floor piece of plywood

as this is a welding forum this type of tyre rack is good just cover with old sheet etc
