Park with the roof down and climb out. Couldn't do that in a coupe could you?

Thanks mate-just seems a bit of a faff every time.

about 72 inchs

Cheers mate-do you drive down that 80 incher?

 

[ranski]

yes, everytime i use the Z

have to fold the mirrors otherwise the left mirror will graze the white box's shown in the picture

Used to it now, but very tricky at night

This is what I do Andy, mine is a double tandem garage, I have 1" foam on the wall too, wish I had a traditional side by side double garage .

My garage is 97'' wide so I have park as close to the other side as possible and open the door very carefully. I have some left over pipe insulation which I am going to silicone to the wall where the door would make contact, hopefully that will do the trick

Cheers mate-how wide is yours?

If you have memory seats, then you could use one position to set the seat as far back and as low down as it will go. Makes getting in and out a bit easier.

Not very wide Andy

 

[andysat]

Looks like mine -how do you climb out tho?

 

[Swiftly]

Christ that looks a tight squeeze

With all these narrow garages you can see why many insurance companies charge extra when you say you garage a car every night.

Seat right back, window down and I'm careful

What like Dukes Of Hazzard style?

No

I open the door and rest it against the foam on the wall, I only have little legs though :lol:
