Stormforce FTW.
Mine languishes for months at a time under mine while I'm away from home.
Some will claim that it will scratch/rub away the paintwork but this is scare-mongering. You need to lash it tight using the 2 straps and any rubbing will be absolutely minimal and any rub marks can easily be polished out anyway.

Edit: pics of the MR or it never happened :poke:
Edit edit: you double posted this u total noob! :lol:

Yes, it's lined with raw silk, then a layer of soft lambswool, little baby deer's eyelashes and the soft golden lustrous locks of 100 virgins hair.

No it doesn't lol.
