Will it be garaged or in the open?

When my z4 was evicted from the garage while it was filled with kitchen cupboards I bought this. It was good.

I’ve got a cheap one (someone else’s car!) and an expensive one:

Happy with both but you gets what you pays for.

I have one (Specialised Stormsheild+ with street kit - c.£330) that I bought last December. It's tough, well made and a good fit, however, it's only been used a couple of times as I rarely get the opportunity to park my car up clean so it sits in the boot most of the time! Might consider a sale if it's what you're looking for...

Take a look at the "car covers" thread. There's some more info there and I just posted a review of the Halfords cover I just purchased. It also has very good reviews online.

Is that a solar battery charger you have? How is it over the winter and do you have a link to it?

It seems to work fine but the lead could be longer. I used an extension cable and you need to protect the plug from moisture (e.g. dew), which is a bit of a faff.
