It can be as simple as a cereal box covering half of the radiator to keep air from entering. This is at your own risk - you have to watch things very closely to make sure you don't get too hot. Golden rule is boiling temp of water to expelled moisture and condensation from the engine internals.

On a daily basis, I only drive my 951 a short distance (probably no more than 10 miles) to and from work, and I don't keep the engine idling too long before I leave for work early in the morning as I don't want to awaken the whole neighborhood (my 951 has a straight pipe exhaust setup, so, it's kinda obvious).
