...in or around Waterlooville/Portsmouth have or know anyone that has a garage/lock up I can rent for about a week? I want to detail my new car so needs to have power and ideally a tap (but not essential) and big enough to house a Volvo S70R and be able to move around it with my DA.

Don't ask much do I!

I have a lock-up which is empty for a week or two which you can use - no power or water though - could always rent a generator?

Funny that, Simon & I just put a door on your lock up laugh Thanks very much though Mark, Simon did consider asking you, but he will need all mod cons for his project. Looks good though, hope you like it?

Seriously though, if any body can help my son, it would be much appreciated, payment no problem

Excellent - at last got a proper front door on my house...., looks great! Of course Simon can use before I fill it up, but guess you need utilities as well?

Ringwood any good? Got a bit garage (4 cars with loads of room to move around) with power and water. Would have to find an area where the roof doesn't leak though! It's due to be rebuilt soon! Will also be looking for probably 3 new garage doors when it does get rebuilt too.

Hi Mark. Would have been ideal for me, and as Dad said, I did consider it but I don't think the natives would appreciate me running a generator in the evenings.

Possibly a bit far I'm afraid. Thanks for the offer though!

Thanks Rich. I love it. Just what I always wanted! It's not the Nautic Blue one, it's a black manual one. Was only for sale for 48hrs! I saw it on VPC. It's going to be gorgeous with some buffty love but at the moment it looks like it's been washed with a Brillo pad!!

Hell yeah! Took her straight to a rolling road the day I bought her and she made 284bhp (IIRC)

Once I've found a suitable location to get her shiny I'll get some pics up.

Think I need to change my name now (again) as Back to VTEC doesn't really cut it when I now own a Volvo!

Looking good thumbup They do look quite menacing in black, prefer the estate over the saloon, but that still looks damn good.

I think the S & V70 are equally good looking, but the S70 is lighter and therefore...faster!! wink

Will do. We're having a couple of flats built above the garage with a balcony overlooking the pond, so will be quite a lot of work! We're also having the other (smaller) garage extended and a new roof fitted.
