Swept out the garage to give my Chimaera some company..

Guessing game... No prizes to the winner and nono trawling through my profile either.

Changed my thermostat finally today after starting yesterday. Also, I changed all of the plug extenders. Number 8 was very difficult to fit - is that usual?

I'm normally good at these guessing games but the proportions look all weird under that cover, looks like some '90s nascar thing but it's nowhere near big enough for that hehe

Give us a country to work from, was it made in the UK?

Funny shape under the cover, like a pick up of some sort, not a Ute is it, though looks a bit short.

It's the car cover for that make of car... So it should be snug fit,but must admit from what it's revealing I wouldn't have a clue either.

The height of the bonnet and the length of the rear quarter overhang after the wheel has got me well and truly stumped. Thought it was a mk1 Capri at one point, I'm going to struggle to sleep tonight now irked

It has to be a relatively small two seater car. I think TR6, but only because I have always wanted a ride in one.....nudge nudge!
