Maybe a split level garage is needed like they have in Japan.........
Fits into the footprint of one car, (the ramp maybe the issue).

14 years in the same place??? yikes Shirley it gets out & about every now and then???? driving

My S1 Austin is the hardy type, likes the Cat & Fiddle Pass in winter*, but Percy my S3c has been cosseted in a tiny rented lock-up garage when he's not being used.**
I have the old crafty tennis ball on a string suspended from the rafters so that when it touches the screen, I know the front is 0.5" from the storage cabinet at the end wall, and si there is just enough room at the back of the car to close the up-and-over door. And I have stuck carpet underlay on the side wall so I don't damage the paintwork on the door when extricating or inserting my vast bulk. ( It's a very narrow garage, compared to my waist size wink )

The main thing is to enjoy our S's as they are meant to be used, irrespective of how they spend their time eagerly waiting for that next blast! smile

No...we should be ashamed Gary....you manage to run it without the luxury of a garage, and it still looks good

Thankyou. It takes a lot of effort & elbow grease to keep it relatively pristine as I'm sure everyone on here already knows.
