Winterising our cabby - what car cover?
We're putting Emma's cabby away for the winter - it's out of tax now and we're not using it when there's salt on the roads, so no point in taxing it really! We're putting moisture traps inside the car, and putting it up on axle stands to take the weight off the wheels. But with the absence of a decent garage, we've got to just cover it with a car cover. Anyone have any recommendations for a decent cover? Halfords do a breathable one that looks decent for just under £50, but is it any good? What do you use?
Thanks,
Neil and Emma

Brilliant.
I did have those moisture trap things but did not use them last year.
I had a problem with the hood so it was slightly open all winter.
Prior I had some mould on the steering wheel, so a quick wipe with a cloth and diluted bleach, no problem.
Interestingly enough no mould issue this time around :dontknow: :dontknow: :dontknow: :dontknow: :dontknow:
