Hey all,
It looks like I'll be forced to adopt Babydoll before I have room in my dry garage for her. (Haven't sold the 911 yet.) Absent any other storage options, it looks like she'll have to spend the winter outside under a cover. Any advice on what kind of cover to buy, outdoor storage tips, etc. would be greatly appreciated. |

Mine lives in a covered (but open-sided) carport, and I use a Coverking Stormproof cover - they make them custom-fit for 914.
I'm not 100% convinced of its efficacy - I've pulled it off and found that the front trunklid is wet after major, blowing rainstorms. But maybe a cover like this plus a pop-up tarp/tent over the car? Bummed that Caroline is giving it up, but excited for you. Enjoy it. If all else fails, I'll take either Babydoll or the 911 off your hands and store them free of charge (umm... outdoors) at my place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Oh, and FWIW, I found the cheapest place to buy the Coverking cover, at least 2 years ago, was autopartswarehouse.com. |
