Does anybody know where I can buy a car cover that fits a Mini properly. The small ones I've looked at are too big and loose.

With the Sheepskin covers, does the furry part face inside or the outside??

It goes on the outside. That way, you can park it in the middle of the field and disguise it from would-be car thieves as a sheep.

If you are talkin' CAR covers, not SEAT covers..
I've got a SuperCrap one on Barney. Yes it's too big.. (was for a Ford Probe) so we use 6 housebricks to hold the bugger down.. :lol:

But the material seems not bad. If you keep the car well waxed (I used my slave, 68Delux for this chore) it shouldn't hurt the paint. :wink:
