:cry: :cry: Well I know that it would happen, my neighbour has put her house up for sale and given me notice to move out of the garage that I rent from her.

My poor 1990 325i rag top has now for the first time in 7years got to sit out in the cold and rain.

I was wondering if any of you could recommend a good car cover, yer I know there are one's for £300 I was thinking around £100 or less.
Thanks :( :(

Yep, but I cant tell which is a good one or not. I emailed a few sellers asking if they could tell me if the item was water proof or water resistant put have got no reply. Is it a case of money buys you the best. I got a OEM part number of USA Ebay but the local steler said that he could not find it.

Maygay do good breathable covers. Any cover will flap in the wind and possibly mark the car. Nothing a good clean and polish cannot fix.

High winds also rip them off cars.

I think Rosco may have had a bit of finger trouble, he might have intended you try Mayday. Here is what I found if it helps:
