Hey guys, the sun isnt gonna last and the seagulls arent gonna avoid the mex forever. Can anyone reccomend a good outdoor cover to me? I have arranged garage space from october but its going to be on the driveway till then :eek:

i've seen THIS (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ford-Escort-MK1-MK2-Fitted-Car-Cover_W0QQitemZ250436103561QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_C arsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3a4f27ad89&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C 240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50) but there is no buy it now,4 days left on the auction and then a wait time of at least 3 - 5 days and i'd like something a bit quicker.

anyone know a good'n? :)

just been looking at these (http://www.coveryourcar.co.uk/store/product.php?productid=16234#googlebase) online, in particular the monsoon cover, looks to be the sort i need. Its about 130 quid, is that about the going rate?

depends what you want from it ? to keep the muck off or keep it waterproof ?

halfords used to do a £60 version that looked ok - got mine for garage cover only from Argos at £30 (and i know a few nice cars on here have them too - also keeps the dew off)

ideally i would like to protect it from everything! hehe, i was tempted by an outdoor carcoon but i thought that was going to be overkill for the summer months, the car will be used eves/weekends etc during the summer months and i dont want the hassle of setting up the carcoon each time.
That stormforce cover seemed to have everything nessacary, ie: soft lining to prevent paint, multiple layers for protection, vents for moisture to escape and underbody straps to protect in the wind.
looks a good'n i think:confused:

yeah they do, but i dont think thats nessacary for the months i'll be using it, as i said its definately garaged as of october and i may have one sorted before then too. Think a carcoon will be a bit much tbh
