If you look at the garage in relation to the rear axle i sure wouldnt like a car in the back of it or it loaded down as the handling would be a tad iffy to say the least.

Dunno.. if you stuck a small FWD car in there the engine would be over the back axle.

It would be handy for taking the wheelie bin to the dump. I saw one similar years ago at the Peterborough Show. Machozone made a good van and were a small firm who would build one offs. I almost bought one years ago after having visited their factory.

Thought that at the start as well Ally then looked at the bike in relation to the length, at the front of the garage there aint a lot of height so a normal smart type car wont go right to the front, a seven or caterham may though.
Wonder how many tins of Carlsberg would fit into that garage :D

We saw one in Narbonne Plage last summer, it had a garage like that.
The owner went off for bread on his bicycle and when he came back he cycled into the garage. I walked over for a chat and could not believe how much space he had. He told me he sometimes carrys his Renault Clio in it. There were steps and an internal door to get into the van.

It was a missive vehicle, his floor level was about the same height as the bottom of our windows.

Roof garden?
Just looked at mine and I think it has the beginnings of a roof garden at the minute. A job for this week I think.

Funny enough Mark I was power washing part of our back yard today, never seen as much alge grow as fast. I had the yard gleaming and done with hypercloride a few months back and now its never been as bad :(

I am sure they know I am not. LOL

I have been the subject of ridicule in the past for keeping my van quite clean.
Not the case currently I might add.
