Because my car is purely a weekend car and I'm typically busy as hell with work, I'm struggling to get to 1200 before winter hits here in the NE and I have to prep the car for winter storage.

First world problems I know.
I'm the same, car came Oct 2018, but I just did lots of special 2 or 3 hour fully warmed ip weekend run in drives and did 1000 miles in a month, got it serviced then have only done 4k more in 11 months.

Won't do any harm sitting over winter though. just dont be tempted to do short runs from cold.
