Default how do people store there cars

Saving up for a series 1 but dont live with parents anymore and have no garage where I live, so obviously got to find a lock up.
Do most of you just put it in the garage or do you have car cover as well, carcoons, your old sheets wots best

A nice heated garage, but no covers, as it was a bit dirty when it went in, and so will be cleaned when it comes out again, as long as you don't brush against it, it should be fine

Its up to you I suppose, but don't forget, turning it on and off would cause the metal to expand and contract alot, weather it would cause a problem, I don't know, that one would be for the experts

Erm, reasonable...................yes

Its only to keep the damp away, so it doesn't need to be tropical.
