I'm off for 6 months, and am looking for some long-term storage in the
UK for the MR2.
Does anyone have any phone numbers for companies who store cars, either
just leaving it in a warehouse (so presumably on return a service is
required) to the 'total care' approach (turn the engine over, fill up
the bits that need it with oil etc).
I understand that Classic Car may have some numbers.
Ta.

Can you disconnect a Wazzo GR5 with anti-tamper devices ? :-)

| 1512.4 | Ask your garage... | DCC::MARTIN | The Corporate Rat... 865 3492 | Wed Jul 24 1991 14:06 | 13 |
Ask your local Toy garage, perhaps they know someone. My Alfa
garage offered me a home for the Spider in their lock up, at a price,
and it is staffed, valet included if necessary, they turn over the
engine regularly, and will drive it for you if you want while you are
away... You also get the chance to view some *VERY* smart cars, most
owned by the garage, or their customers... last time I was there
these included, Metro 6R4, BMW M1, a few DBs, lots of classic Alfas,
a 308 GTS, and a possible addition to my Alfa collection, a '73 GTJ 1750
in custard yellow... 38,000 miles on the clock, etc...
Any similarity between yourself and Mr Caine in the Italian Job...?
We should be told...!

Hmmm. Nope. I don't think that hanging off the end of a coach that is
balanced on a cliff edge appeals to me.
Perhaps the Mr Bridger part would be more my scene. Magazines in the
toilets and people to bring you drinks. Yep. Sounds ok !!
Seriously, i'll give a couple of Toyota garages a ring, and see what
the score is.
Re .3 Do you have a phone number for the place you mentioned ?
I leave on Friday, and will drop the car off next week, so the sooner
the better.
For those interested it's 6 months in New Jersey, so i'll be
driving slush-mobiles, which have never seen a decent bend in their
life, whilst trying to avoid using the accelerator.
