Glad my findings weren't a waste then but I didn't expect the handle to fit in that last one. I think that'll be a good cover for the time being until you find something better, it'll protect it from scratches, dust and dirt if you're on the move with it.

As long as it's not in an empty boot of your car where it could roll around and instead placed inside a floorwell or doorwell, then I very much doubt it'll recieve any damage in the car if it's wearing his wine jacket! ..... unless your name is Petter Solberg!

Our BS 3 finally took a tumble, and yes the resultant scratches on the edge appear to be permanent.

Car ?  Picnic ?  Terrace ?  Beach ?  Kayaking-Kite boarding ? Mountain climbing ?  No.

None of the above. It was sitting inside, minding it's own business during the New Zealand / Spain Fifa Soccer match, when wild  fan waved his arms around and knocked it off the glass table.

Now to the Wine Shoppe for a carrier-cover ( This should be fun ).
