My garage is currently filled with boxes, so I can't fit my new lovely chim in there, and since I live on a new development, with builders still building it's pretty dusty out.

Anyone recommend a cover for a chim?

Cheers

I asked this exact question recently. Based on my interpretation of the replies I received, I've ordered a weathershield cover from covercraft (www.covercraft-europe.com). Seemed to be the pick of the bunch in terms of size, weight and protection offered for the car, but needless to say more expensive than some. Apparently even cat proof! Paid ~£280.

Cheers,

Steve

Er, priorities guys??? Can't you buy a shed for the boxes or stuff them in the dining room or spare bedroom?

I'm about to move house next week and will upgrade to a double garage (yeeaaahh!!). The TVR is going in on the first night and all boxes will be sorted/piled up/moved to the dining room the next day for the girlfriend's TT (plastic sheet down to save new carpet).

Nice idea, but...

I have a double garage - it's full of boxes that contains all my mums possesions while she looks for a house...

Anyone know any nice single bed houses/cottages/apartments near West Malling, Kent for around £80K?

I suppose I could ask her on to live the streets, but it seems a bit unfair after she looked after me as a kid an all...

Also have a look at the ones supplied by Classic Additions (web site as per the name I think). They provide both 'dust'and 'outdoor' covers.

Mine lives outside, so I purchased the cotton lined, fully waterproof (& it is) cover, which is easy to fit, model specific and comes with carry/storage case and has an optional security cable and lock while it is on the car.

I think about £135 all in, would recommend it.
