Snug as a bug *tissues needed*



With the V6 purchased it came down to a 50/50 chance if it would fit in the garage!? and if it did, would I be able to get out of the car!?

At one point I thought I would need to invest in a new garage door to gain extra width while entering the garage?

The results....................

A quick DIY blast with the hammer by my Dad to knock a few bricks out, to gain extra width when opening the door....... (thanks Dad).......

like englebert said stick summut on the wall!

our garage is like yours so we put an old piece of carpet on the wall so the door can rest against it without any damage
 
Practice makes perfect mate. Looks tighter than it actually is, believe it or not. Very easy pulling in and out of the garage.

But it did take me about 10 mins the first time I tried it :eek:

Perfect parking there!

I have the same trouble, with a small modern garage. But I only have the 172 and two bikes squeezed in, The road bike at the end and the motocross down the side at the front.

I bought a motocross bike the other week and I was worried if I would have to leave the car outside, as I had to fit a wall and ground anchor to lock the bike too.
