Knock out a wall or two and park the mini inside the house :twisted:


Actually, looks like you couldn't have a door on the front of the carport, because it would block access to your meterboxes.

The autotechnica style covers are okay. Will last quite a while if kept out of the sun - but even the smallest size is too big for a mini.

I've been using the Tyvek style on a few of my cars over the past six months or so. They seem to work well.


Ray.

This is the only picture I have with my car wearing its cover, the morning of the 2006 Bathurst 1000. It's a crap shot, however it is a quality product that fits the mini perfectly. If I get the chance I'll get a couple shots of it properly fitted and post them up.

I went for the "Noah" material. It works well, I wouldn't claim it to be 100% waterproof, however I've had it for 18 months now and it does the job well.

I purchased mine about 18 months ago and washed it a few times and it still looks as good as new. Give the number a call and the lady that runs the business is excellent. Covers are specifically cut for minis and they are waterproof and last for ages.


Mine cost me $150 and it was money very well spent. Cannot recommend the covers highly enough. Takes about 30 seconds to put on and can be folded back into the carrybag and fits under the drivers seat.

Minisport sell them. They have two different ones.

I'm looking at getting one. My car just sits in the Garage so its really to just keep the dust off it. However I would also like to be able to use it under the carport if i need to.

What should I avoid?
