Yes it doesn't help with the website going up and down like a bride's nightie.

Finally installed my boost gauge - though I haven't tested it yet.
Debating on whether or not to buy a cover for the GTA - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280761428834? ... 1438.l2649
Have one already, but it's not a waterproof one - and thinking one would be useful when I knock down my garage :lol:

Waiting on springs for the GTA so I can have a go at fitting the SPAX - Lee, if I fail then I'll be either driving it up to yours or low loading it there.

Off to French Car Show a week on Sunday and hopefully collect my bits from the Dieppe trip.

That's me.

I have been using all different type of car covers for years. I now have two covers, One like the one mentioned above and the other from Specialised Car Covers. The one above, the cheaper type of cover, not only they fly off every time you get some high winds, but also they don't really breathe properly. The important factor is that they need to breathe, and the good ones tend to be the tailored made ones, starting from £150 to £250. As Andy mentioned above, fibreglass cars and covers are normally not a good thing, but if you have to do it, get a proper cover, and make sure you don't have any cats using it as a scratching post :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the warning.

I use a cheap one at the moment just to keep the dust / spiders off the car whilst it's in the garage. It's not waterproof but just dust proof :D
