Car Storage - The Age Old Problem

[skoda_norman]

So I am coming to realise that it is easier to accumulate cars than it is find decent storage for them. 

 

I'm at the dizzy heights of 5 cars now with only one garage and a driveway and I'm well aware that when I come to move finding somewhere to keep them all is going to be problematic. 

 

I'm after any advice (aside from not buying so many cars!) to counter this problem!

You don't need any advice.  You are already doing quite well.

Bite the bullet and rent a garage. It's the best thing I've done for ages. I can work on cars in the warmth and at any time I want. I was lucky to get one that doesn't leak, is in a good area and I don't pay electric or anything like rates. It's 280 per month and worth every penny. I just chill out there sometimes, ive got two car seat I use as a couch and even can have a dump in private.

I have a similar problem and also don't have the money to rent anywhere.

 

I need to share the rent with one or two people. Not only to make it cheaper Hut then we might be able to somewhere bigger or even buy it outright

buy a house with more space!

 

That may mean moving to somewhere cheap and remote!

 

Seven cars can fit in my drive (just)

Gladly, but I'd need the money to buy a house and that'd mean stopping spending money on rusting hulks!

I've looked @ several houses so I can keep more cars, it never goes down so well with her in doors.. 

 

I've also looked at renting a garage/lockup but what it would cost I think, well I'll wait and extend my garage..

Shorter cars?

hire a minidigger and burrow down

[DodgyBastard]

What problem? Buy more cars!

Shit, how did I get up to eight cars without even noticing?
