Unfortunately I am banned from eBay but I have put it on gumtree for breaking. I think Dodgybastard got £800 for his, running with an mot but this needs plenty of welding and it has a clutch issue. We
Stick it on car and classic and you'll likely manage to sell at an inflated price.

Started tidying up the garage ready for the move. A lot of stuff needs packing up and many small bits floating around. Also pretty messy, despite many attempts to organise and keep it usable.

Going to dump the garage all into a lockup storage as I don't trust the removal men with my tools lying around. Also if we get the house we are trying to buy, I want the garage floor sealed. So having it empty when we move in will be useful.

Lock up storage is an expensive but very necessary step in moving house. At least it is when you have got Stuff. Just looking at that picture reminds me why I can never, ever, move again....

There is a stud wall in the middle and that picture is only the bottom half. The other half you can't really navigate round. Opening the garage door requires five minutes worth of moving stuff to get anything useful out.

One of the requirements on the next house is a garage big enough for my tools and having a car to work on while being inside. It's going to cost me a pretty penny for it, but it's a luxury I've really wanted for ages.

The bigger the space, the more shite you fill it with.

I'm in the Mercrocker camp.

I've a double garage and two rooms in the house full of tools and mainly VW T2 bits, including body cuts.

It's my son's problem.

I really wanted this house:

With an acre of land to build barns like that in the future and two double garages, there would have been plenty of car storage possibilities. Unfortunately it is right near the busy M5 and the small problem of it being £100k over our max budget that we wanted to spend.

That would do me....Push a four-wheeled showman's living van in there for winter habitation (drag it back out in the summer) and fuck the neighbours...
