Car cover from eBay

[TT Tim]

Has anyone bought one of the £58.95 car covers from eBay?

I need a cover to keep the worst of the winter off my car as it lives outside and also need a cover for when I'm trailering the car to events, as I'm fed up with it looking crap when I get there!

If you have bought one what do you think? Any good, would it rip if the wind got under it if it was on a trailer? How fitted is it? Is it really tailored to the Cerb' or is it a universal fit?

Failing that, if anyone has a decent fitted cover second hand that they want to sell, please email me.

Hi Tim, not sure if this is any help to you, but I managed to pick up an indoor fitted car cover for a Cerbera (fitted wing mirror pockets etc), which I put on the car and then I just bought a waterproof cover on special offer from Halfords to put over the top.

The combination means that the car stays dry and the paintwork doesn't get scuffed when it's windy.

Great tip

I was going to say that my breathable outdoor cover is great except when it gets wet as I have to put it in the boot when I need the car. Also being breathable, the car gets in a state if it rains, even with the cover on.

Looks like I need to go to Halfords...

Don't worry, I think he may just have been worried about a post strike. It'll be OK

Oh dear - I meant 'please disregard my exceedingly feeble attempt at humour and carry on with the subject'.

Better?
