No garage... Next best thing?

[Blackout]

Unfortunately I don't have a garage to keep my E30 in.

Whats the next best option? Can anyone recommend a decent car cover?

Would this be half decent or should I look into investing a little more?

Check with your local council, they often have garage's available that you can rent of them for circa £30/40 a month.

Car covers are a great way of keeping a wet car, wet. Or a dirty car keeping crap and moisure next to paint.

Avoid IMO

Take a look at this site

Another zoner recommended it to me, and there prices arent too bad for what your getting

www.cover-zone.com

And as for keeping moisture inside, it has vents which let is escape. Dont buy the halfords stuff, atleast this is one unique to your e30

IMO car covers should only be used when in a humidity controlled garage (or a garage that isn't damp at all) I wouldn't use them outdoors as they trap moisture and dirt (don't listen to advertising rubbish about tripple layered, breathable fabric etc.) The wind does a much better job of drying off a vehicle and as long as it's well protected with a decent polish and waxoiled etc then the paintwork should be ok. Obviously a garage is better if you have the means

I'd rather park my car in a B&Q marque than use a car cover- worth a thought!!

store it on solid ground not grass or mud and it will be fine

Fully agree unless you live near a shed load of seaguls !!

Mine has been outside for nearly five years (daily driver) and the weather has not rotted the car and the wind keeps it dry.
Keep aload of good polish on her and she will be fine.

I brought a car cover from argos for my e30, When I pulled it off on a cold morning half the cover ripped as it was frozen to the car.
