Hello all,
Wanted to start a brief poll purely out of curiosity- where do you park your F type overnight/ during the day?
I'm not lucky enough to have a garage (although I'm trying to find one to rent in SE London) so mine will be parked out the front of my place, under a car cover when not in use - until I can find a garage and setup a man cave for it!
There a couple of Porsches in my area so I'm not too concerned about it, but obviously would prefer a garage.
Maybe I can convince the girlfriend we should move haha
Where do you park your F?

I'm fortunate to have a good sized, damp free garage with no clutter inside and the convenience of remote controlled door openers, so it goes inside after every trip.
I don't use it for commuting so it only stays out while i'm using it....other than spending a week at the airport now and again.

Mine lives in a barely-big-enough garage, usually only comes out at weekends as I motorbike to work in the week.
I bought it based on the knowledge it probably wouldn't fit, but I was pleased to find it does, just...pretty nerve-wracking though and takes a few minutes every time as I have to drive in backwards virtually on full lock.

I lucked out with a double garage which will be just for the F-Type. In the day time I have a dedicated parking space at work next to a disabled parking space which I've never seen used. Other that, I'll be thinking about my journeys very carefully.

In alarmed Garage, wrapped up warm in jag cover, on the trickle charger, off cut carpets on garage floor, washed every time it gets its feet wet (and polished every other wash). Mostly only driven on sunny days and holidays (not clocked 2000 miles yet so still to experience dynamic mode.) Treated better than the kids!

I agree with SammyV6S! Mine is parked during the day/overnight on a business park immediately behind my house in a dedicated space. Not having a secure garage was certainly a major cause for concern when I first bought the car. Touch wood - no issues to date - and the people who park either side of me thankfully give the car a wide birth when they park up each day.

I finally found a garage to rent, hoping that comes through. Even just for the first year, I think I'd prefer the peace of mind while its brand spankin' new!

I'm renting a garage, was hell to find one wide enough to be able to open the doors! In,any case the car will not age too rapidly that way
