Can anyone provide details for a good cover, please. It doesn't need to be waterproof, as the car is garaged. Just need it to keep the dust off and NOT retain moisture. Something soft that doesn't scratch the paintwork too.

TIA! :D

Give it a service and continue running the old girl throughout the winter as my daily.

She hasn't let me down one bit in the year that I've owned her! Looks so beautiful in the work car park too! :wink:

Switching from OZ Alpina 15s with Toyo Proxes to bottletops with Debica Frigo tyres in 185/70R14. Should be a great laugh charging through the snow on those :D

And it was only 180 quid for the tyres, wheels, fitting and balancing.

Well mine has been sat for a while, I took the opportunity of a dry weekend to clean off the crap and cobwebs chamois it down and stick it back under the car cover I removed in the Spring :)

Comes up alright still, maybe I will use it next year :roll:
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

ferg that looks the Don :cool:

I did about 7 miles in mine yesterday and then put it back in the garage

I'll change the oil and filter in the next couple of weeks but the first time I see a gritter on the roads and that will be it until next year - apart from moving it to its new home :D
