So out of interest, just wondering how people 'store' their motors...

1) Outside come rain or shine
2) Outside with a car cover (all the time, or just in the rain/snow?)
3) Outside in a car port/under shelter
4) In a garage/indoors
5) Other?

Mine will hopefully be under a car port for this winter, previously has been under a fold over garage.

Would love to keep it in a garage, but the can't find one locally at the right price. I am considering a small industrial unit as there may be one coming available soon. cloud9

Mine will be living outside and hopefully used throughout the winter. I've got a cover which I'll use if the weather turns severe.

I had a Chim as a daily drive for a couple years and that lived outside with no complaint.

Mine live in a barn without any luxuries and are equally happy outside on the drive. They get driven in all weathers and usually don't get put away every night.

Excellent cars - they can cope with most things smile

Did I mention that the chassis is held together with mains cable & that I've started growing mushrooms out of my door cards.

Out side all the time for the last year and probably this winter as well.

Planning permitting I will be building her a nice new house in the spring complete with heating, half height ramps and an inspection pit.

Mine lives in my garage.
Only comes out at weekends and on the odd work from home day (or when other vehicles arent avail and so need to commute 10 miles to the station)....
It doesnt come out when its raining or when their is snow or salt or ice on the ground.
I wouldnt like to leave any TVR parked outside, its just another challenge to its well being...
