The snow has bought my latest niggle to a head. As my sons motor bike now lives in our garage my car has to remain on the drive I hate having to defrost it in the morning. Is there anything I should think about if I buy a re cover ? or can i go for any cheap one ?

What size car do you have?  You're better with a breathable fabric one rather than a plastic one.

honda jazz so quite small, thats a good point about breathable fabris. do you think I could get one from ebay or better off going in to halfords

I'd get your son to do the defrosting in lieu of rent for garage space!

now thats an excellent idea ! This week is not the best time to ask though his mbike was stolen while he was at officer Cadets last week and believe it or not has been found a week later BUT we now have to collect it  (£200)and get it repaired probably paying himself because at 20 and in his first year of driving any claim knocks his  premium up to over 2000k !! As a student that isn't much good
