I keep suggesting we turn the front room into something like this, but unfortunately the missus isn’t having it…

Yes. I like that.

My Aston is kept in the single garage so I can't see it.

Should be able to look at it like a work of art.

Not a fancy garage but the view from my sitting room
Not too bad

I've tried for years to get my motorbikes into the conservatory but the missus isn't having any of it, so good luck getting a car into the house.
At least with bikes you don't need to change anything , you can get them through doors most of the time so no house amendments, just never understood her objection confused

I think there is a video on Car Cleaning Guru of a chap, who parks his car in the dining room.

I think the idea has merit smile

Reminds me of that skyscraper in Singapore where you have an elevator taking your car to your living room.

Yeah that's a lot more like it! I find Calum's garage a bit underwhelming for such a succesful designer to be honest. That glass just looks like some cr@ppy patio door. lol

Currently planning a self build and a large 3-5 car glass display garage much more like the 2nd one is deffo on my must have list. smile

I watched a Bangers N Cash episode where a guy kept several cars inside his house. The dining room area being the nicest.


I remember him being interviewed about this and him starting the reply with " when I got divorced I just thought why not"

Divorce never sounded more appealing until I realised I then couldn't afford the cars post divorce frown

I’ve been led to believe that the automotive design sector Isnt that well remunerated. That’s according to a chap from Renault…..

I am no expert on these models, but presumably Prince of Wales specification.
Mind you thinking a bit more, it is not a DB6.

If he wants to take that car for a drive, let's hope he has the correct number plates.
1 POW shows as a 2012 Bentley, colour black.

A few years ago I visited a car collector on behalf of the AMHT; he had an SS100 Jaguar in the sitting room
