They also make an excellent escape plan when chucked out of a bedroom window for when the woman next door's husband comes home :lol: :lol: :lol:

It feels quite thick and not easily ripable, but at the same time its soft on the inside so it won;t scratch the paint. The elasticated ends are decent too.

that looks a great cover for the price kamil ;)
as i said, i paid around £60 for mine, so thats a real bargain for a waterproof one.
great stuff, glad your happy with it :)

has it got the strap in the centre, that you pass under the car to the other side and clip it?
if it dos`nt, you`ll find the wind will get under the centre of it and have it off. so may be worth putting something on.
i use those elasticated `spider` things you can get.
