Re:

Humorously I'm getting a Phev....

BMW330e - 252bhp with 87 of those ponies from a motor on the gearbox

Not sure if I want the plug in part but let's see how it goes

After trading in the wee rocket for a family diseasel estate I needed the fun factor back into driving- hence:

Re:

I am looking to get a car cover to keep my project car warm/dry until the spring when the inner/outer wheel arches will be welded.

Anyone recommend one that modestly priced and does not scratch the paintwork ?

Re:

That Mini looks sweet.

Car covers, you get what you pay for. Decent ones run to the best part of £100, in that I mean with proper lining and tough fastenings.

The last time we had a car worth covering, my wife stitched one up on a sail makers machine. Looking for one right now for a Range Rover, so I will hopefully get her stuck in to that before the hail comes..
