were in the process of having our drive replaced 

now i want something that can live underneath the car to stop the oil dripping on my nice new drive.

i dont want something that the hubby has to put in and out cos he will forget and then i end up with oil on my nice new drive

i know i need to fix the leak and wash the underside of his motor but i havent got chance and he hardly uses her at the mo.

What are you guys using or recommend

Bit of old carpet to park over?

Wont blow away but should absorb the drips?

A nice cheap, rubber backed doormat should do the trick nicely. 

What sort of drive surface are you going for Marie?

[tidla]

Get a nice new car that dont leak to go with the new drive.(or fix the leaks)

Cannot see the point of having a nice new drive and having an oil stained mat in the middle.

Knowing Marie, it won't be leaking for long, so this would only be a very temporary measure.

That was a quick pint.

And dont forget that all new or replacement drives over 9m² in area requiring planning permission (note most contractors will 'overlook' this little legal matter!)

Not that I'm planning on doing so yet, but if I were to replace my (and my neighbour's) tarmac drive with another tarmac one, as its shagged, I'd need planning? It would be the same size, same place, same materials?

Really even for a replacement like for like?
