    Garaging

    Keep seeing all these lovely huge garages with loads of space, car jacks etc. primarily from our US friends - though I'd share this pic with you of my car squeazed into my typical, modern UK garage...

    Re: Garaging

    You left your WD40 out... how untidy!

    Seriously, I wish I was as organised. It is a bit of a squeeze though, isn't it? I'd be petrified of taking my wing mirror off or scraping it.

    And is that a personalised plate?

    Much better than on the road parking.

    Hope the brackets holding the ladders and bikes are secure !

    not half as much as I do - did you notice the large teak wooden chairs too! Last night every noise I heard from the garage side of the house woke me up - and those chairs et al have been happily hanging up there for years...

    I did notice them, but didn't want to worry you too much
    I think that I would be double/triple checking every fixing in there
    and still not be able to sleep at night

    Must be like Virgil in Thunderbirds. I reckon he's got a chute from his bedroom that drops right into the car.

    Re: Garaging

    The 05 in the middle of the license plate. Is that how you tell a UK car that is has a 2005 registration?

    Re: Garaging

    Yes & No, well lifes never that simple

    0? means registered between Mar 1 and Aug 31, 5? means registered between Sep 1 that year and Feb 28 (or 29!) the following year - so a car registered in 2005 could have 54,05 or 55 in the middle of it's licence plate.
