My enduring memory of that model is of the local dealer who told me he
was being ear-bashed by some owner who thought it was running wrong when
it wasn't (reckoned it should go faster), and handed it back to him with
a piece of gaffer tape obscuring the P' on the badge.

 

I've got an old piece of plasterboard for exactly the same reason
(polystyrene face out) for when I back the Audi into the garage as the
reversing beeper (dunno what you call it in English) always goes to
the constant tone with at least 20cm space.

Works a treat.

 

Well, that was neither quick or quiet, was it. Somebody must have seen
them at it, ffs.

 

Pretty obvious they live nearby.

Get some big blokes knocking on local doors.

 

They probably did wake up, but turned over and went back to sleep.

Those roller shutter doors are hopeless against attack from a petrol
whizzer. More often than not scrotes don't care how much noise they make
because they'll be through the door in a few minutes and there aren't
many people who'll challenge a gang of scrotes with a whizzer.

I'm surprised they bothered messing about with the lock, not much point
when the door offers as much resistance as butter.

Insulation, insulation, insulation. Cheap as chips, too.
I've been looking at similar for my excess car storage while I work on
the building - ideas abound.

 

Conversely, in my ShiteOldTerrace I was seriously considering converting
the front room to a garage. Tickled I was recently to see somebody had
done just that.

 

Heh, useful bloody answer.

BTW, got your messenger URL later last night. Daft bugger.

 

Christ, I don't know if I could live with anything less. I'm
considering building a two-car detatched garage in the back garden,
too.

 

Seriously, as vehicles are a big part of your life, can't you just
move to a house with a double garage?

 

A single garage will accomodate at least 7 motorcycles. In my old place
the garage was slightly wider than average and I had 9 packed in there
at one point, with a workbench, toolchests, filing cabinet and a huge
amount of other junk.

This wasn't anywhere near as packed as I had it at times.

The point that most brits miss, is that in Merkia, garages are almost
always *much* bigger than the space required by the actual vehicles.
This is because a garage is not seen merely as a storage area, but
often as a workshop too. In many cases they're often a thing of beauty,
rather than just a dirty dumping ground.

I'd go nuts trying to do anything in the garage in the photo you posted.

 

And the cost of land is far lower.

 

On average perhaps - but not where I was.

 

I've got five motorcycles in my single garage, plus a workbench, storage
shelves, a big stack of plastic crates containing bits, four bicycles, a
Workmate and oher assorted stuff.

Loadsa room.

 

In communiqué <1jb82no.cm6gmw10jabr4N%>,

The great de-clutter has reduced the count to five in the garage and two
in the shed.

At least I can work reasonably comfortably on the YZs now they are
perched on paddock stands right at the front. Before, it was like one of
those sliding letter word puzzles to get easy access all round a bike.

Not so much a 'garage' as a long-term storage facility, though, in
your case.

 

Not in Ben's case. His Boxster and MGB, Gixxer and KTM?, together with
K's A4 quattro, almost entirely fill their double garage.

Oh, I see what you mean.
