Just been browsing the interweb for stuff and came accross this

https://www.kmsdirec...amp;cPath=42_45

I reckon a mini would fit in this quite nicely!!

I've measured Poo up and he would fit in the smaller one, and its under £60 delivered!!

Really am tempted by this, had a hoist off these people and they were good for that.

It looks fairly sturdy, and wouldn't look out place in the garden either!!

I can see myself getting one of these.

Sames to be honest! And how much would a car cover cost these days? Gotta be worth it.

Thats true, a decent cover would cost £50. Makes this seem even more attractive, no more wet Poo for me!!!

Depends what you are doing....A single burst with the grinder and the hot sparks will leave it perforated.

Ideal for general storage and servicing jobs though, but I wouldnt want to do any serious work in one.

I would imagine it might get quite humid in there so you will need to open it up for ventilation quite regularly. Probably as bad leaving the poor mini slowly boiling in the bag than it is leaving it sat outside in the elements. That's why better car covers are made with breathable materials.

Daves right about that, I wouldn't recommend a full resto in one!!

I know its not perfect, but it is only £60, would stop the worst of the elements in winter.

I think the side panels allow ventilation and I would also think that it had to be better than leaving it outside.
