Any of you guys keeping your cars in carcoons? I'm wondering how it works with getting the doors open once in?!

Thanks

Depending on what your looking at some of these have side door zips. The one I use is a metal frame which the bubble fits around, zip door at the front to drive car in then get out like normal and zip up. I have a spare which I'm not using if you are shopping for one, it's been used a little but works just fine.

I now run a storage business and use the Veloce Large which has opening sides, fits ford GT, 458 and Murci etc so you'll fit a Mclaren no issues. As your doors open up the way I'd suggest getting out and closing the door then using an open window door pillar b, pushing the car in.

I use a few Airchambers. Regret not buying them larger than recommended as I'd like to have room to move around the cars more easily. So buy perhaps the size up from what they recommend.

Great thanks. Large it is.

Finally collecting the car from storage today. Collected from Alastair Bols almost a month ago now, but had nowhere to put it!
