I would love to get an Elise , but would not have garage space for it.

I live close to the sea on the South Coast , so experience strong winds , but am far enough away for sea spray NOT to be a problem.

Renting garage space is not an option.

Do any/many of you keep an Elise outside ?

Are breathable car covers likely to cause more damage than good ?

Are these car covers likely to stay on in 50mph winds ? , and if so which brands have you had positive direct experiences with ?

Are hard tops or shower caps more suitable for the issues I have described above ?

Thank you in anticipation of constructive advice

Thank you for all your replies

On the strength of these , I went to see an Elise last Sat , and am off to see an Exige tomorrow .

1) Where can I get a shower cape from ?
Will a shower cape flap around in strong wind , or are there tight attachment cables that prevent flapping ?
Can a cape be used on a Exige S2 ?
Is there a particular brand of cape that is recommended ?

2) is there a brand of Breathable outside car cover that you can recommend from personal experience ?

Thanks for all your help
