Default Does anyone's pride and joy live in the rain?

I'm looking out the window watching my car being heavily abused by the weather and there's nothing i can do

Just wondered if anyone else has no choice but to leave their car out or has everyone got them in the garage?

My Saff is out in the rain as we speak! It not nice leaving it out i know! I was offered a garage by the council but never took them up on the offer as i needed the car more often than not. I dont anymore though and wish i took the garage! Think i will look at getting another when the summers well and truly over though!

I go out in all weathers, but at night the car goes into a heated garage, this dries the car out in 2 hours. I know OTT, but did not put heaters in the garage it has underground pipes which keep the internal temperature at a constant 60 degrees in winter and 70 in summer.

My 16i lived outside for twelve months, I used to fret loads abou the rain and snow but i kept it mint the whole time I had it, as long as it doesn't leak and there isnt any exposed metal or rust it should be fine outside ( in terms of weather not pikeys )...

Nope mine lives outside

Good thing is I can leave it right outside the lounge window or round the back in a private car park, I don't use it as much now cos of the bike so I've got to get myself a nice cover like Tiffs...
