    No Bill, I don't need to be "'splained to" I got it, I just never expected anyone to hold Dare Britannia up as an example of anything but piss-poor pricing, quite frankly it was everything I could do to keep from wearing my coffee when I read your post.

    A blue tarp will trap moisture if it is wrapped tightly. If you are looking to just have a 'roof' over it then use a blue tarp with some non-damaging 'spacers' against the Rover to make sure there is air flow of sorts. No need to give it a 'burrito wrap' if you are looking to just keep the worst of the elements off of it.

    I think he is more concerned with the fog that comes into SC often. Maybe a loose wrap and a garbage can full of dessicant :^)

    Default For winter storage

    If you're looking into long term storage, and a dry/rust preventative option, check out www.carbag.com. They include large area dehumidifying bags that are enclosed with the vehicle.

    Checkout eBay.co.uk and just search for "Land Rover Series car cover" and a bunch of places that ship internationally will show up. I bought one from seller pjcovers555 called the stormforce. Waterproof breathable fabric that fits the 109 perfectly. A bit stiff and bulky but good for keeping the sun and bird crap off it and limiting the amount of water that seems to find its way into a Landy. Definitely do not use a blue tarp that will only trap moisture/salt and rub on the surfaces and make things much worse. I am all for patina but show your 40+ land rover a little love and take 10 mins to cover it up before bed! Cheers, Larry
