Default Car storage facilities.

Has anybody used these, or know someone who has? Just done a search and they are well cool, put battery conditioners on your car, start it once a month, cover them in dust sheets and put them in humidified garages, that sort of thing

Just my mum is giving me grief about it being in her garage

Pete - well its not too far from Twickenham and at least if both our cars are there I can pop down regularly to check as its about 15-20 mins from my house and also my mate can keep an eye on em

He is starting tomorrow, but I think it is best to let him settle in first but I have asked him already.

Good thinking at least if he doesn't mention to collegues he has people interested then they may slip up and tell him all the bad things, like they go cruising every weekend and dis-connect the speedos!!

don't want no spottie punk touching my car , not saying you mate is!

my mate knows if he touches my car i will literally kill him. He aint like that anyway. Will find out how much he can get it for.

Prob best to stick the car on axle stands anyway and take the wheels off, disconnect the battery and take the coil lead off.
