Default Hardtop storage

Queue the response of 'sell it'... Get lost Rhauri

I'm looking at sheds to keep it in, does anyone have the measurement of the size of it on the Honda hardtop stand? What are you guys using? No run in the garage for it and its not tall enough for a pulley system. It used to live in the house but have a dog now and dont fancy it getting ruined!

Would need to be a 4x6ft shed minimum, my shed is 6x8 and it fits against the short wall with a bit of space space left and right.

Don't think it'll be more than 60cm deep, have a look at the upvc waste tube frame drawing that's on here somewhere, that'll give you that dimension.

Not sure what you mean, the width of the door won't be much narrower than a bedroom door I don't think so if you're holding the thing with 2 people you can just walk it in and plonk it on the stand?

Have you seen the bags that have straps so you can hang it? Not really suitable for a shed, but if you have a garage or something?

I've got one of those plastic tubing DIY stands, I'll measure it next time I'm in the garage.

I have one of the hanging bags.
From memory it measures 56" wide, 58" front to back and sits about 20" off the wall (due to the rear locking fittings)

Gonna have to sell it then... Last time I checked an S2000 was designed as a convertible, not a coupé ;-)

I'd say either A) train your dog right B) sell it....

Selling mine for the same reason, its become a PITA after 3 years.
