RE: [doc] Re: Car Cover.

["Colm Nugent" <colm.nugent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mike,


Yeah, I'd really like one of the drive in garage covers with the moisture
regulators but I know that when it comes to it, I just wouldn't use it.  At
least the cover keeps the local bird population from using the car as target
practice.

5706 is having a 12,000 mile service with DMUK (via their latest partner,
Andy in Southend).  I'm hoping not to receive too large a bill but then
Martin did talk me into the Remote Wing pose option...the silver-tongued
salesman that he is.

When I took 5706 to the BTTF evening in the Bracknell Hilton recently, they
wired her up with strobes, ultraviolet lights and a fog machine.  She looked
the DB's (if that's not a gender contradiction), especially with the Marty
McFly and Doc Brown look-a-like actors next to it.  As a result, I keep
looking a little too long at those ads for under-car lights - but I'm sure
I'll get over it.

Cheers for asking and thanks agin for the useful import tips - looks like
they'll be thinner on the ground from now on...

Colm

  Yes these appear to be very good...and if anyone is not in a position
  to garage their car these would certainly be a good idea, Cant help
  but think that the worst problem is not the rain but the moisture in
  the ground coming up under the vehicle and rusting it that way?

  Hows that car of your by the way, all checked out ok?

  Kind Regards

  Mike
