Default Car Storage

Hi all,

A friend needs to store a couple of tasty motors for a month or so. They are quite valuable so my driveway/private garage is not really an option and money is clearly not too much of an issue.

Although there are plenty of places on the internet, would anyone have any personal experience of using a professional service for this sort of thing please? One they would be willing to recommend?

Thanks in advance.

No, that is not what I meant

The (legitimate) owner will be driving them, once he has arranged to get them (legitimately) shipped.

In the meantime they need to be held in safe, secure, and insured (legitimate) storage.

If I was free to keep them on my driveway and drive with with impunity I would.

Anyone with a sensible answer please?

It's a great video Dazza, thanks.

My previous comments were directed at the other bloke, who seemed to infer that I was up to something illegal, hence the 'legitimate' comments from me.

Your irreverency is fine and perfectly normal for SN, however what's missing is a post from someone with an answer to the question.

It's not too difficult is it, what I'm asking? Used to be a time when anything car related used to get an answer on here, in addition to all the other comments too. Oh well, will carry on looking.
