\nFrom Wayne Kilrea:
\nI store my \"B\" in a steel shipping container, parked in the back of my counrty lot. The container was purchased from Wayne Rowe on the Carp Road and he has more of them (delivery was inlcuded in the price (8 x 20); with respect to by laws, use of the containers out here in the country is quite common; my neighbour has two or three of them; no, I did not ask if I could have one. Fortunately, the property is large enough and I had the perfect spot between cedars and evergreens to put it so that it can barely be seen by myself or my neighbours. I am not aware of any restrictions, but in truth I did not ask. In hindsight, would have been better to check. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.<\/p>\n

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\nFrom Jim Devine:
\nI am an OMGC member and MGB Vintage racer and use containers for excellent car storage. I also sell 20\u2019 steel containers and I stock them locally if anyone is interested. My company\u2019s name is Rivendale Containers 613-726-7610.<\/p>\n

\nFrom Michael Turnbull:
\nI just recovered my B from its wintering at a local farm. I could not previously recommend this farm but now that I've had a complete wintering let me recommend Ross Mowat most highly. I purchased a car cover from Princess Auto for $50 and paid Ross $300 for the winter. I placed numerous dryer sheets in and around the car and found no sign of critters. Ross also serviced my snow blower for only $50. The farm is about a mile south of Fallowfield on Old Richmond Rd.
\n6023 Old Richmond Road
