    Garage Lock-Ups for Winter

    Really getting desperate now to try and garage my car over winter after I've spent so much money on getting it mint and re-sprayed etc, but can't for the life of me get one! I've contacted the local council, but theres a waiting list in order to get one, so that probably won't be for a while. Also looked at Yell.com and found a few results, but have'nt been able to get hold of any of them yet. Really need to get the car in a garage to waxoil and underseal it. :( Mat Brown......I wish I had ur garage! Any other ideas finding garage lock ups anyone?

    Thats not too far from me at all mate...I live in Haddenham in-between Thame and Aylesbury. Would be very greatful if u could ask if someone would be willing to let me use one, and if so how much they want. Cheers mate.

    I had the same problem a few months back. Ended up applying at Reading Council even though im 12 miles out of reading they still gave me a garage! Had a choice of low-high quality too. I guess Reading is a bit far for you though mate but try a similar thing - other local town councils..

    No...theres too much salt that goes on the roads around here...I've spent far too much money on this car for mr rust to set in! Won't harm for it to be off the road over winter...I've got a 2.0l Megane Coupe to drive in the mean time
