Car covers

[geoffvalenti]

I'm picking my Griff up tonight and would like to ensure that it's kept as best as I can.

I'm going to store it in a garage, but the roof has been known to leak slightly at times :( Obviously mending the roof as best I can is the first job :)

Does anyone use a cover for their car in the garage? If so which one?

Anyone seen or had experince of the Cair-O-Port

It doesn't sound bad for £300, but I'll be led by your experience(s)

Page 35 of this months Sprint attracted my attention. £80 all in for a lightweight cover looked quite good to me for those occasions where the big 'un was going to be outside. Its normally kept at home in the garage but this might be a useful thing to keep in the boot.

Perfectly good breathable one for £25 from some car world type place (national chain, opp Halfords & Muckdonalds in Wigan). Does the job great and the odd spots that get through the garage roof coalesce and run off nicely, occasionally pooling heavily and seeping through to the roof. But man, if you dont waterproof the roof anyway, you're stuffed, so you do this and save the silly money some 'approved versions' ask and take yourself away for the weekend with the savings

Always keep an eye on ebay, I picked up a geniune TVR full cover last year £65.
Keeps all dust off in the garage after posishing.

We've got a Leven one for Wol.

dans - nice. But people often spend a lot more than £65 on a "genuine tvr one" when it does nout for the performance and you can cover a car adequately, thereby helping it's preservation, whilst in the garage, with a sheet without a logo for less than half the price?
