Afternoon all. I have a small problem with my garage at mo and cant put my car in it so does anyone know of a good strong waterproof car cover??? please help as it wont stop raining!!!

Just a thought but if you get stuck then you could use one of the big blue tarpaulin sheets. Thats what my mate uses on his westie, which is outside all the time.

If you've got room, hire a shipping container. I wouldn't want to leave my pride and joy outside!

Mine's outside all the time. Currently has a big cover on it from argos, but would be better with a proper fitted cover. Demon Thieves sell them, but last time I looked they were a bit steep.

Halfrauds do a universal car cover for about £18. Very good for the money.

Car Builder Solutions do some nice ones too.

They is good. The argos ones aint bad too..

I used to keep mine under 2 big tarpaulins. Worked a treat. If its temp this may be the best cheapest option.

Mine is outside all the time, I have tried a few, but you cannot beat the Halfords ones at £45, they are silver reflective, very strong and BREATHE - very important if you don't want your interior to grow mould in 3 days or you paint to microblister due to moisture.

i use an argos one, it is a bit worn now after a year of taking it on and off. As mark says, a tarpaulin is only a temporary option as it doesnt breathe.
