No longer used as my daily driver. A real shame to not keep her on the road for daily use, it just costs to much in repairs for daily driving.
Currently in good condition under the cover. Looking forward to a run soon.

Thats what i mean Dylan. Tuck it under arches and behind the wheels. I dont mean drive the wheels over it. Basicly when it all wrapped up you can see the 4 wheels of the car. I'll get a pic of my mini all wrapped up to show you. never came off on me even in storms.
