So before I got to excited about a VX220, I decided it would be a good idea to check the size of the car against the garage, a big thanks to Ratboiler from VX220.org for popping over with his car!

The good news is it fits!

The bad news is I have got no hope of getting out!

Also, the rev-limiters motorbike won't fit behind it during the winter months.

Now, the last one I think I can over come with a bigger shed in the back garden, or a mates garage just around the corner where my lives in the winter. But the first one is a bit more of an issue, I can either:

1) Leave it on the drive with a cover on it
2) Dukes of hazard style over the top of the door
3) Get out on the drive and push it in

Anybody else around with a single garage and how do you get on?

TIA

Martin

Thanks all. Some more thought about this has brought up a potential solution. The garage door is slightly offset, and there is more room on the left hand side than the right hand side.

So, by reorganising the garage slightly and moving the racking from the left to the right hand side and reversing the car in, so I get out on the leftside of the garage, by using a piece of carpet on the wall to protect the door, I reckon there is enough room, certainly enough to put up with for a couple of years until we moved to a double garage.

Hi Striker

Your like doesn't work. Thanks for the offer, but I'm not looking to buy until next year, I've got a Westfield to shift first if I decide this is the way to go.

Following an annoucement at work yesterday, all plans like this are on hold in the short term.
