Other than dont own a mini, what advice would people give as to what to do with a mini and what to buy if they havnt got a garage to keep it in? Already sold a mini because i didnt have a garage and i was really worried about destroying it. But im missing it so much i want another one. Any ideas?

Buy one with T&T and buy an outdoors car cover. Or if you've got a drive, get a Gazebo...many people without garages use these to keep their projects dry. A combination of the 2 is best

Just be careful to let the water out as well as in. Just covering it with a tarp will trap moisture and encourage further rusting where it otherwise would have evaporated.
