Snug as a bug!

[jay]

With the V6 purchased it came down to a 50/50 chance if it would fit in the garage!? and if it did, would I be able to get out of the car!?

At one point I thought I would need to invest in a new garage door to gain extra width while entering the garage?

The results....................

A quick DIY blast with the hammer by my Dad to knock a few bricks out, to gain extra width when opening the door....... (thanks Dad).......

and there you have it..... as snug as a bug!

*thumbs up*

Cool :thumleft:. Impressed at the structural alterations ... you should have put a window in there so that you could look at your car from inside the house .

 

[jay]

LOL never thought of that.....

*runs to ask dad to fit a window!*

Need a piece of carpet stuck on the wall to protect the edge of the door when opening.

Looks awesome mate.

Something like this works a treat http://www.morethanpolish.com/mtp/doorpad.asp (or alternatively a flattened cardboard box works for me)

That's more the anoying result of having kids who grow beyond 13 years old, you need bigger cars. So you could conclude it's all your fault Andy that your dad needed to go from an A4 to an A6 Avant. Go shame yourself

actually he decided he'd give himself more money for a company car and that an Avant was easier to get the ladders out of

Nice one Jay, The vee looks very much @ home snuggled in there

 

[wideboy]

dedication and compromise is what you need if you wanna be a vee owner :thumleft:

Well done and a good squeeze ...

My garage is 12" wide and I still managed to catch the door edge soon after purchasing the Vee !

You soon get conditioned into how to 'protect' the Vee in most scenarios - though I never take up two car parking spaces or park in disabled ...

lol.

Jay your car does look nice and snug in there! i'm done some calculations based on the plans for my house which is being built. Jay what is the width of your garage door if you mind me asking? Are all single garages pretty much standard now? I think mine will be approx 2445mm or 96" or 8'. I can't find the exact dimensions of the mk1 v6 but based on the mk2 i think i'll probably be as snug as Jay's
