Split_Pin Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Hood waterproofing went well. Thunder was rolling in the distance when I took this picture so it looks like further proving is afoot.

Split_Pin Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I also noticed that both of these cars have their underpinnings in the 1980s but were registered in 2000 and have modern multivalve engines in lieu of the original 2 valve per cylinder units.

Have your neighbours converted thier garage into a room? It should be a criminal offence. Nice "nova" there. SiC, Split_Pin and Ghosty 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amishtat Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Currently in a pub in Dundee, only my second trip to the land of Volvos and cornered sausage. Nice so far, drove through some shite weather around the border but it was sunny when we got here. Spending the rest of the week driving round looking at houses. Split_Pin and Flat4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went round a mate's new build t'other week and it was noted I was the only person he knew that owned a car narrow enough that it might squeeze in and allow the driver to open the door... It'd also be useless to me as the internal door opens into the living room, so my fleet would render the whole house stinking of petrol and oil in seconds.

Makes you think planning rules are wrong. And there's mis-selling due to adverts saying it's a garage, when they should describe it as an integral shed. hennabm, HarmonicCheeseburger, paulplom and 4 others 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not like to have one 'in the house'... Agreed >> many people use a 'car space' to out-build garage/extra bedroom onto a semi.
