MG4 delivery

[ippy1]

Hi there, well, at the beginning of the year I put a deposit on a ZS EV trophy LR.
When news of this new model broke, I decided I’d waited long enough and put a second deposit on the MG4.
I was fortunate to be the second deposit at my local dealer and was almost guaranteed to get first dibs.
I got the call last week and was offered one of the first 2 available in Sept.
so it looks like i can get the new model before the ZS! strange world of MG deliveries.
anyway I haven’t got it yet so my original deposit remains on the ZS in case I don’t like the new one when I test drive it?
After all that, I’m in a dilemma regarding the parking of either of what I buy.
I have a narrow driveway to park the car, and need to protect it from the bird poo.
I was thinking of putting a retractable awning up that I can wind in in the winter when the bird’s aren’t around, this would also be easier to clean than a fixed structure.
has anyone on this site used one of these as a car port before?

Good luck with the deliveries.
I have to keep the trees in my garden well trimmed to avoid overhanging my car parking or I get bird poo problems. Also recommend large bird deterrents and a cat that climbs trees!

Lol! Not sure a cat is a good idea, a couple of my neighbours have cats, and one of the cats keep jumping on my car using it as watch tower! Thankfully, no visible damage was done to my car due to their very sharp claws!

FYI - Unlike dogs, cats have retractable claws. They only use them when they choose to.

Yes I know they have retractable claws, but you will never know when the cat might decide to use it. Maybe another cat might jump onto my bonnet and start challenging it’s position! ?

The offending birds are house martins which nest in eaves, way up in the roof. Far out of the reach of any cat!
Incidentally, the nest fell down this morning. So that’s it for another year, but I’m sure they will be back.
So not a priority at the moment.
