My wife likes the colour combo of this one, so that's a bonus :thumbsup:
I'm biased but I love that colour and my M4 is in San Marino Blue. :thumbsup:

That M6 is my favourite colour combo, however I have the boring black leather in the M4 though!

Make sure you get the garage, I can't do jackals when the weathers crap and when its ok spend most of the time bloody gardening and that is a massive hate :headbang:
I’m not a gardener - no time and even less inclination. Unfortunately, I’m the only one prioritising a big garage at the moment…

I'd like to restore a couple of bikes too, but I need plenty of room cos I'm a messy bugger :D
At my last house, I built an 8m x 6m garage and put a wood-burning stove in it and always a had a stash of beer. I only ever went into the house for a pee. Then I sold the place so have the money now for toys but nowhere to put them; catch 22 I suppose :)

My new garage needs to be about 50% bigger than this one. The stove flue is in the picture too.

Strange that isn't it?
I have told my missus that I am happy to live in a caravan as long as the plot is big enough for a huge garage. It has fallen on deaf ears TBH :(

That’s an impressive garage. Did you need the height or was it an aesthetic decision? I’d love a garage with enough height for a four post lift but that’s very unlikely where we live in Sydney.

The height was decided by the roof pitch, which had to be same as house. It was still only 8ft (2.4m) internal height as the roof was trussed.
