i need a cover........
john_p_b - 26/11/05 at 09:40 AM

my indy has been evicted from the garage so i can store my other car over winter. i'm not happy about doing it but indy is GRP and the cosworth is 16yr old steel so i think it's easy to see which will end up shafted by the weather easier!

so i need a nice weatherproof cover to hide it under for the time being. anyone recomend anywhere to get a good fitting one from? halfrauds do a elasticated breathable tyvek item which aren't bad as i had one on my other car last winter but they rip far too easy and i'm not sure what size i'd need?

your input please folks!

Is the garage tall enought to store the Indy above the Cossie? How about inventing a rack or slings to habg the Indy or a frame to stick it on ?

These guys were at the Exeter show last weekend.

Seemed a nice bit of kit.
I think it's the PS-815-300 that is suitable.
Could be the answer if you have the room and money!
I'm in a similar predicament as the garage is being knocked down in the new year to make way for an extension and bigger garage
May consider one myself if I can't find anywhere suitable in Plymouth to store it for a few months!

I emailed soft bits for sevens a week or two ago and got no reply. It isn't really the way to do business, is it?

I just got one from Argos. The RAC one was reduced from £35 to £20. Completely covers the car, has elasticated ends and a rope for tying it in the middle. It is rubberised on the outside and lined on the inside. It also has two air vents, which need careful positioning if it's not to fill up with water.

I notice a lot of people go on about I emailed this company or that one and they never replied its been a week have they gone bust etc (thats not aimed at this post))


But whats happened to the good old phone call are people to scared or tight to talk over the phone these days

Some people don't have access to a phone during the day and when they have got home following work they are closed. Email is 24 hours you see.

zxrlocost - 26/11/05 at 06:38 PM

ok fair enough but surely people can get to a phone over 7 days

spot on!

i work 6am til 6pm 5 days a week then sometimes saturdays too but how many places are actually open saturdays or at least open enough to bother answering a phone?!

end of the day if it's a case that they don't have the knowledge or technology to reply to email then they shouldn't use it as a contact option. all it says to me is they obviously don't need the money!

zxrlocost - 27/11/05 at 09:50 AM

sorry but I cant believe that sometime within 5 days people cant get infront of a phone during the day..

and the amount of people that email me saying I dont reply wee me off(when Ive replied to all)

Not aimed at you but If half of them got rid of there shitty hotmail accounts we would be half way there
