For those of you with narrow garages-

[andysat]

Hi all,just moved to a house with a narrower garage than i am used to -but my question to you all who have narrow garages is-do you only bother putting your zeds away on winter nights,long periods when not used etc,basically can you be bothered with the faff?-thanks

All the convertibles I have owned have always stayed outside with a half cover, garage is always full of other stuff.

Always reverse in & glue cheap carpet to passenger side wall + screw a batten to floor for back wheels to sit against :wink:
& elec folding mirrors once in is a bonus

After many discussions re the house with the 97.2" garage today, I have decided to reconsider and buy it.. so therefore will tell you later on this year.

I always put mine in
Even of im going back out in it the same day

Park as far to the left as possible, and screw a bit of carpet to the wall where your door opens so you dont worry ab aboutoit knocking the door

Never use the garage. All 3 cars stay out on the drive/street. Garage is too full of other stuff, plus it's another one that is really narrow. I think cars in the 70's were just much narrower.

Can you get your feet out ok?

My garage is narrow. You'll soon get used to it.
I drive in rather than reverse and use it all the time.

(Is it the house you wanted?)
