They wouldn't understand...

Following the storms of late, where my Tamora's car covers were attempting to launch her into the upper atmosphere and were subsequently removed before they did more harm than good, I found myself watching the next day's weather report of rain, snow, plummeting temperatures and just general snot on the horizon. So, on with the covers tomorrow morning before it lands, I thought. So there I am next morning at dark-o'clock, sitting in bed, attempting to jump-start my consciousness with caffeine when I hear the sound of rain falling (well ahead of the weather report's schedule, I might add). So, chuntering about not putting covers on wet cars, I stepped out into the dark (and thankfully now rainless) outdoors and proceeded to wipe down my car with a chamois leather, making a racket of squeezing a tsunami of water every few wipes. It was at this point that it occured to me that anyone witnessing this that "didn't get cars" would think this a most bizarre behavior indeed and led to me wondering what other people do in the name of looking after/enjoying their cars that would seem like unhinged behaviour - or is it just me?!

Looks like your house has a garage, couldn't you put it away? 
Long story. The Griffith's in the garage at the mo. I'm looking at getting a four-poster lift to stack them and/or a garage extension to make a double-length space. Only, getting a builder to actually get back to you on a quote is like trying to plat fog.TR4man said:

Shame on you! Whatever happened to the 'weekly checks'?
Never mind, it's a Citroen, you'll have to open the bonnet eventually, more than likely on a cold dark wet hard-shoulder somewhen somewhere...

Last year, when I was looking to buy a Chimaera or a Griffith I was rather taken by a Griff that was advertised and the owner also had a Tamora for sale the same colour as yours too.
Was it yours? I'd always assumed that someone had bought the Griff and that's why it was no longer advertised. I, as usual, dithered but eventually I got my Mk3 Chimaera.
TR4man, quite possibly. I flirted with selling both as I couldn't decide which to keep but I ended up keeping both. They're so different but both so fantastic, but that's another thread. I wrote the Sprint article of buying the Tamora; I will follow it up sometime this year I think. Was it yours?
