    Lovely garage Karim

    One car sleeping in the Carcoon. Very happy with the Veloce. Easy access to the car when I need it. I´m running this on big batteries that I switch every 10 days because I do not have electricity in the garage, works fine. The other one will be on jack stands soon so we can have some work done this winter.

    Karim,
    nice Pjs for the car. I looked at their web site, which suggests that below 10 deg C any humidity from 0-100% is permissible for car storage. Do you just use the cocoon to keep varmints out ? Is there another advantage I'm missing (other than it looks cool). In the summer I can see advantages as the humidity rises with the temperature. Of course those are the months we want to be driving.

    This is what my car is being used for this winter, a spot for my wife to hide presents.
