Monaro width-mirrors folded

[bigmadjohn]

Guys

Ive just moved house and are looking at getting back into a monaro later this year. However the driveway to my garage has a 'pinch point' where the soil pipe comes out. At this point the driveway is 2m wide at the narrowest point. The garage door itself is 7ft wide so that shouldnt be a problem, and it gets wider inside. I know the monaro is just over 1800mm wide with no mirrors, and Ive found measurements of 2030mm with mirrors, but how much do you gain by folding them? I never actually folded mine in when I had one, but I remember people saying they didnt fold that much. Does anyone have the exact measurement with the mirrors folded? Thanks

I have a monaro that doesn't fit in my garage! And yours sounds about the same size
the mirrors hardly fold in at all
that's why mine lives on the drive and the garage is full of crap!
The length could also be an issue as it was with me

Cant help with the width but I have the usual crap modern garage but I can just fit mine in. It takes the full length and I have to fold the mirrors in and part right over to the left (1" clearence) to be able to get out of the car.

The Monaro is 15'8" by 6'6" (mirrors not folded). They only fold in by perhaps an inch either side, not much really. HTH

Then the car should clear with 17mm without folding the mirrors

I'd move your soil pipe mate, otherwise you'll be in the sh1t.

You'll be disappointed mate. Our last house was similar (and I don't have a Ro yet). You 'could' get the car past the house and into the garage, but it was such a pain you only did it when you wanted to work on it. After a couple of years I got totally fed up and managed to persuade the missus to move again. I'm damned if I'm de-icing a car at 7am when I've got a garage. Got a nice double garage now with both cars in it every night!
