TAFKARM Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Next time I go up and visit the o,d dear I'd like to take the Westie but am a bit war about overnight parking? I'd put a cover on but I can't even block it in with the other car as the pavement is in the way. What would you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Hmmm, as said previously depends on area, people go touring in them so should be ok, only other thing is disable it by removing something off the electrics side maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenh Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I'd happily park mine in a reasonably law abiding area. Mind you, I've got a detachable steering wheel and an FIA cutout switch, both of which get removed if I leave the car anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAFKARM Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 No quick release wheel. It's not theft that's the concern, it's vandalism TBH. Having said that....DUM DUM DUM it's BIRMINGHAM! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem, chain several large dogs to each wheel and wire the car to the mains! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark (smokey mow) Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 FWIW I've left mine overnight on many occasions in hotel carparks in this country and abroad and have never had any problems. I frequently leave it in town centre carparks for several hours too when I go shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User0083 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Mine lived outside for a while and at times spent the night on the road, in Birmingham. Spent many nights on the road in Plymouth. Roof up, doors on, cover on. Left well alone. Except one chav p******** in it, I got arrested for GBH, but then copper told me to get him on his way back from the pub at night. Told me where to wait too!!! But in the whole people are more curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander72 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Russ, I often park mine out and if overnight just whack the tonneau on - take FIA key with me and take steering wheel off before i go. I'm sure it will be fine. Not leaving it in Birmingham are you? (joke) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Leave it at guest's He'll look after it. I suppose it depends where in Birmingham you're staying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D7PNY Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 As others have said...i remove my wheel and cutoff switch.Could remove a few fuses if you don't have that option? Vandalism could be a worry but not much you can do to avoid that unfortunately. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
