jazz1 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Im going to order one of these for my supra better than the crappy covers that i have for outdoor:) http://www.carcoon.co.uk/ UPDATED WITH PICTURES Well updated with pictures all i can say is wow i love it. I just spent 4 hours cleaing the supra and managd to rush home in time and get it under cover before the rain. So far iv had 2 people look funny lol:d my neighbour kept looking until i give him the thumbs up and he smiled:d. May look funny but i dont have to worry about it ever getting dirty, no more worries about keeping it clean anymore. Theres also a special vent so if the car goes in wet it automatically cleans the water out. Last thig left is CCTV:sly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't have a big inflateable garage on your drive! I'd think it was more suited for cars in storage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 A friend of mine, George Page invented and patented the Carcoon. Be sure to see if he's around if you ring them, and pass on my regards, you might even blag a discount! He painted a Renault 5 Turbo 2 (mid engined homologation special) of mine, years ago when he had a body shop called Auto Traders in Manchester. It was the best paint job I have ever seen, and the man was an artist. Since inventing the Carcoon George no longer has to get dirty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since inventing the Carcoon George no longer has to get dirty too late iv ordered it now, hopefully should be better than my car covers. The car covers i have cost 200 odd pounds and they are already half torn, blow, away by the wind several times. Hopefull this beauty cover should do the trick as i dont need to worry about dirt on my paint work no more from putting the covers over my car:). The fans that vent the cover only cost 1p per day thats less than 10 pounds a year they stated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 I've got not doubt that it might prove practical but it will look a complete eyesore.

Chris Wilson Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 They look very robust to me, you should be happy enough with one. He mortgaged his house to set up the Carcoon, we all thought he was barking mad.... He had the last laugh though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea they do look odd, i was going to invest in one of these http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.perambulatorgarages.com/images/CAR_copy1x1new.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.perambulatorgarages.com/index.php%3FcPath%3D15&usg=__-iW9mvfcsqhywzDBj6wdzqKMjxA=&h=225&w=300&sz=12&hl=en&start=23&um=1&tbnid=4SQ3cEMZpKcw6M:&tbnh=87&tbnw=116&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dportable%2Bcar%2Bgarage%26ndsp%3D20%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1R2GGLL_en%26sa%3DN%26start%3D20%26um%3D1 but after a phone call they explained i had to secure the metal frame work or my car would get damaged at heavy winds. Anyways this funny looking carcoon should do just the trick seeing as i dont have a garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I can't imagine telling my Mrs'. she's living in a Carcoon for the future as the bailiffs kick us out though. Which is why I just bumble along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk136 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 A friend of mine has 2 of these indoor Carcoons. 1 with a delivery mileage S1 RS Turbo in it and 1 with a delivery mileage Escort RS1600i!! Very good idea, with its recirculating air system. He swears by it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I just bumble along That's it though, on the flip side those risk can often return the biggest financial losers. It's a two headed beast. Anyway, you're hardly doing badly Chris, you have a nice place from what i've seen of it. A castle to be proud of, only down side is the wildlife problem you have.

Think he bought the S1 new, and the RS1600i from another enthusiast. Hes got an everyday RS1600i, and just recently sold his Escort Cossie....oh and he's got a Saph Cossie too...man loves his Fords!
