I'm guessing the big one on the right is for a helicopter or similar. My ideal house would have far more garage space than living space.

Don't know if he still writes for them but the funny looking mechy guy on Practical Classics lived in a 2 berth caravan inside a hangar he rented to keep his cars in, top effort!

Architecturally dire, but OK if you're making do as a Lorry mechanic smile

This sounds good. I probably won't need a hangar, but a decent caravan and a barn would be good...

...let me just speak to my SWMBO

You'd have to be good to fly it in there!

You would have thought as a highly paid journo he would have managed a better drum than than that. Just look at J leno.

Quite a few round here have truck garages built on or done in the garden, but I'd be surprised if that wasn't for a fly-in.

There's one just sold I loved that has a barn out the back that's about the same size as the house itself. Chap built it to keep a 40ft cigarette boat, wakeboarding boat, half a dozen cars and a couple of kenworth trucks in. I'd have suffered it, missus wasn't too keen when I said I'd also need toys of similar caliber just to make the most of the space biggrin

In reality, very few Journo's earn decent money, a big contrast to top US tv personalities. A friend of mine was dating a motoring Journo and if it wasn't for the freebies like free use of cars and trips to launches they would have struggled to do more than the basics. I guess it's like all professions, most struggle but big money at the very top.
I'd love a garage like that though although I'd need a cash injection to fill it!!

If we didn't have kids, we would live like that.

I'm considering something along those lines.

I'm moving to the Midlands to be closer to my son but I want another car or 2. Not a flat or a house.
I'm considering a lock up/ barn and a hammock. biggrin

Can't wait!

The garage occupies more of the plot than the house though admittedly it is single storey. Married now so now the house has to be "fit for humans"...

Looks like the house is a bit on the large side...
