Garage - carport - driveway - pah

the best I have is a 13ft square outside my house with uneven paving, slate chips in one corner and a former flower border in the other, can just about get the F in at right angles to the road!

The road isn't much better, double yellow lines...........

Yet I've done clutches and even an engine replacment on a VW camper!

I do lie a bit, I do rent a garage from the local council but it is around the corner and I am prohibitated from working on cars, not that there is power etc, and it is full of car spares and DIY stuff, apprently there are even 2 trailers underneath everything else!


Home to black Alfa Romeo 159 3.2 V6 Q4 ,green MGF VVC and red MG Maestro T16.

MG - the friendly marque.

I only have a drive. It's quite big - enough to get three cars on. It does have a 20% slope along it though. Makes things interesting. :P

Driveway? I wish! Best I can do is begging some driveway time from mates and relatives, otherwise it's all sat on the side of the road for me.

I know how you feel mate.
I do all of my mechanical work in shoebox in middle of road.
Every hour the bus comes along and runs over me and my dog
has to give me the breath of life so I can keep on working.

Shoebox? That's luxury!
I have to work in an old leaking septic tank. :bust:

Septic tank, septic tank, we used to dream of working in septic tank, all we had was a leaking rusty bed pan we shared with three other families, most of whom were junkies. :nonod: Shoe box indeed, they don't know what it was like for us, not a clue.

Screech? John, please, take the boy a bottle of Cabot Tower at least.

I may have a garage but there's not much room to walk around the cars, AND the beer fridge is kind of our of reach (poor planning I know)

I have to be gentle with Rich, Cabot Tower might be to harsh on those West Coast boys. Screech is more for a beginner!
