All good things Tug!
For myself
- I do not go to the trouble of removing plugs and adding oil to the cylinders. In 13 years of storing Hondas for 6 months I've never had a problem. However when it comes to the MGA, yes I do this, no question about it.
- I do not put oil in the engine and throw it away in the spring. My final oil change is what I drive the car on in the spring.
- I do not latch the roof under the car cover, no need to stretch the vinyl or compress the rubber seals.

.
Oh ya, go to home depot and get a sheet of that polyfoam crap. Cut the sheet in 4 and put one under each tire....there you happy now

BTW, your last point is another item you did not tell me about last year, you told me over the summer, so I am doing that this year also...

474 beers in the fridge, 474 beers, take one out, pass it to Marco, 473 beers
There, that ought to take care of the seals thing...
Like I said, I love that trivet idea. It allows for a bit more air flow under the car to help eliminate condensation, it gives the tires something way softer to sit on which helps to reduce the flat spots, and it looks so cute.
