Title: Re: How do you store your Looker? Post by: H67bug on March 13, 2011, 15:00:33 pm Hi
The stated footprint is not much help as the thing "balloons" when inflated- it is a little tight with the garage door but it fits just.. :D Assume one and a half beetles is a good guide at the widest points of the balloon. I bought it after we moved- the electrician moved the car to do some works (despite being told not to) and then closed the garage door on the bonnet. >:(. I had it repainted and then dropped something on the bonnet and front wing myself. The kids run in there and the dogs do the same so this is just insurance. Title: Re: How do you store your Looker? Post by: javabug on March 13, 2011, 16:36:01 pm OK, you asked for it ... be nice. I liked it with the wide-5s, but this looks like it is ready to eat some pavement! Well done, Tx Tom!

I'm starting to feel lucky I can keep it inside.
