Why is it left outside? Is there no room in your living room? That way you could at least polish it. Shame on you!! Tomorrow the snow will have meted and filled up the cockpit. Happy New Year!

Re: What have you done with your marlin today

That poor car looks so sad and neglected left to its own devices in the snow

Even a cover would make her feel wanted . Maybe you really want a snowmobile

Good to see a Marlin parked up outside, I ran mine for years with no garage, if any car can survive that a Marlin can.

If my Roadster was finished I wouldn’t leave it out.
I know how many hours of work currently gone into it. I didn’t even take it out of the garage when I had some MOT work to do on daughters Corsa.
Hope everyone has had a great Christmas and I wish everyone a very Happy New Year.

Mine is outdoors. Use a medium size cover from Halfords about £60. I have two on it as the 1st one deteriorated after 2 years so use that on top of a new one so get more life out of them

A member of the LocUst form built a garage for his. Using ply he made a box just bigger than the car and put castors on it. When he came home he pushed it over the car and locked the end doors. There would be air circulation where the walls were clear of the road.

Re: What have you done with your marlin today

Well firstly I went for a blast from Saundersfoot to Tenby and as far as Pembroke dock as it was dry gave it a bit of welly and wow it can move on down the road lovely roar and gave my hair a blow dry too
Got back home and measured it all over as I intend building a garage for it on Friday yes a garage from scratch in one day not your normal garage but a mobile one just over 4 ft high and on castors

The idea is so it can be rolled over the car allowing me to park it anywhere within my garden/patio area and leaving it well ventilated to avoid those micro blisters I recently gained when it was kept under a Monsoon Cover.
Being only 4 feet high or so it will be unobtrusive ,
I looked at the tent types of cover and a good westerly might just blow one away so heres to marligarage it will double as a dog run in the summer LOL .

Re: What have you done with your marlin today

Showed the dog the design for my Marlin garage/dog run the bulldog took one bite and totally destroyed the plan

Re: What have you done with your marlin today

Don't show plans to the dog, the know nothing, dogs are dyslexic . Build it and tell the dog it's a bone store when the car is not in it.

Excellent , I see the roof, no sides? Good ventilation! . Better than a sheet.

Wincanton->Hawk Conservancy Andover, 5 hours volunteer work sweeping up leaves. Hawk Conservancy-> Wincanton. Round trip of 84 miles. Needed the roof down as the leaf rake wouldnt go inthe car with the roof up. Anyway it wasn't raining so there was no excuse for hood up motoring (unlike the wuses in MX5s)

Re: What have you done with your marlin today

Not all of us! 120 mile round trip to Franklin's meet at Stamford yesterday with roof down.

Re: What have you done with your marlin today
