Well, why not. 
Waiting for the road to be free of salt, it's been like this since early December.
. I know I've probably already asked you this but what is the width of your garage door aperture Leigh? (It looks a bit wider than the standard 7ft for UK builds).P5BNij said:

I'll have a quick measure when I get home and let you know! We did have the door frame put behind the brick pillars as you can see to maximise the width.AdeTuono said:

It's a lovely car but I'm unsure as to why you would be allowed that silly little plate on the front? 
I know this can be down to who stops you ,good cop bad cop,
it's only i read that the police are clapping down on number plates with a instant £1K fine , i'm not sure if it is now a points offence either .
I've got States plates on my yanks and cut down front plates on the Italian stuff and on the Caterham .
Looks like being stopped and getting a bullocking and told to sort it out may be a thing of the past .

It only had 1,000 miles on it when I bought it, so he barely drove it. I assume he must have driven it at Goodwood a bit, but when I’ve taken it on track days at Goodwood it’s too loud at full throttle and gets flagged. He's got his first track day of the year tomorrow at Goodwood,

I’d love to ask him how he managed to take it on track without getting flagged.

I saw it parked in the pits quite a few times but the only time i've seen it on the track was for the parade lap which is very slow with the I’d love to ask him how he managed to take it on track without getting flagged.

Thanks Leigh . Mine is 7ft so will be a bit more of a squeeze for the likes of Camaros, Mustangs etc.
It'd be doable, my firebird is 6ft 2 wide according to google, my old XJ6 used to be more of a squeeze.. Mine is 7ft so will be a bit more of a squeeze for the likes of Camaros, Mustangs etc.Saw a ‘65 Mustang fastback on the M1 this morning, cruising along at 70mph it looked lovely, it was in a very pale pearlescent grey colour with a red interior, the driver looked like he was in another world.
