mine lived in the street outside my flat for the first year or so, and occassionally in the borders.

Now it resides in my garage when not at MMC :roll: :D

Only issue I had was some fleabag trying to knock the passenger mirror off ono the first night of ownership.....they were incapable of breaking it though, thankfully.

kept outside for the last 12 months of ownership. Oddly enough, had more damage from the car cover being on rather than off!

Was worried about snow/ice etc getting into engine/rad, but pulled a binliner over the bonnet (F&R) and that kept it out :)

I was going to get a cover but then i thought it made the car more of a target and not less.

I can just imagine the yoof in my area going "oh look, wonder what is under there..."

Had mine since Jan 05 and it's not had a day or night indoors since. 8)
Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.

....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?
