Pick up my first one next week

[Roaring Reds]

I've done it!
After years of BMW M3 ownership I've taken the plunge and bought a Chimaera 500 which I pick up next week - just in time to take to the RMA Trackday at Bedford next Saturday!
As the car will live on my drive can someone point me in the direction of the best waterproof cover that I can buy?
Also, is anyone else going to Bedford next week?

Cheers
Roaring Reds

well done good choice a 500, the best place for covers are sold by leven,s. Or you could look on the classifides on here, there are always a few for sale. Best of luck, take it easy as these cars do bite. Have you got the phone no for bedford as i would like to book. Thanks.

Leven do an excellant cover that goes over the hood and windscreen for £150.

I have a glossy Leven catalogue that I keep in a brown paper bag in my desk drawer. On the back it gives their website address – www.leventechnology.co.uk

Welcome to motoring nirvana. I have been driving around all day with the top down, even on the motorway at 80mph, and its absolutely awesome mate.

You won't regret it. The car will teach you to respect the road!

Well I did think about a red one, but the blue one was a bit faster, and cooler

Actually driving at 80 with the top down is very comfortable. Sure, when traffic overtakes you the tyre noise is very loud, but the trick there is not to be overtaken hehehheh

Hmmm... if your 400's anything like mine, your tacho will be wound so far at 130, you wouldn't want to press on too much more for fear of ingesting piston...

What car was that in Corin? Presumably the 500? I couldn't see a 400 getting too close to 155...
