Your car is nearly 10 years old, I'm sure it can hack a few months in an unheated garage

You don't need a bubble then, you need a car cover or tarp. And tell them to fuck off or theyre paying for any damage.

Carcoon will do the job Ant, www.carcoon.co.uk very good system, price for a corsa shaped one will be around the £300-400 mark, comes with everything you need to get ready and uses something like 5p electric every day keeping it fresh.

I just have a cover over mine, 14 quid on my wholesale account but I would imagine you'll get something for 20-odd. It's fairly thick so small knocks don't cause damage, and it's ventilated. That plus a dehumidifier would be cheaper.

If that's in a heated car garage thats just stupid.
Does it fall in on the car if the power is lost?

Fair enough for a ferrari, but a corsa. It will be worth a large % of the car!!

depends how much you've spent on your car though Colin, regardless if its a corsa, clio, ferrari or lambo.
They keep the car in mint condition. John - I think they have a certain amount of backup and even if it does ran out of power it just slowly deflates I think. A frien dof mine had it but also tied the string to the top of it and pinned the other end to the ceiling.

yeah that lasts forever, and keeps your car in near perfect conditions inside a garage or outside on the drive way. The condition of my mates car which doesnt need touching again once its in the bubble is amazing, once my car's paint and everything else has been sorted I wont think twice about getting her a bubble to keep her in A1 condition in the barn.
