Do you store your 911 in a single garage?

[daveessex]

I put my 997.2 into my standard single garage virtually daily. The door opening is 7ft (2.13m) wide and the inside wall to wall width is 8ft (2.44m).
It's simply a matter of getting used to reversing in at a slight angle of approach through the door aiming the car towards the passenger side back corner of the garage. painting a white vertical line down this corner of the garage helps.
With a little practice it's easier than parallel parking because you have the wing mirrors to judge an even approach and later the mirror tips when 75% in.
As suggested already I have a thick piece of carpet fixed with battens to the wall adjacent to the driver door.
There is very adequate room to get in and out of my car this way

I used to store things above my old 968 that was until a bag of tent poles fell on its roof! It looked like a golf ball with all the little indents!

When we moved 6 years ago I told her who must be obeyed she could have anything as long as I got a linked double garage 👍

Single garage here. The main issue is the narrowest portion on our driveway is only just over 2m wide so it takes some careful maneuvering to get it through. So pleased to have it inside again now the builders have finished! Need to put up more shelves and repaint the floor. I'll get the measurements but I can get right the way round the car.

Ive just recently emptied my garage to stick the car in after a year of parking it outside, not sure how wide it is I will measure but it seems a normal single garage width. Bit of a squeeze but I will just get used to it, ive bought a door protector for the wall and one of those traffic light style sensors to go on the wall to give me warning before I hit the wall (any excuse for a gadget)...

Tom,

Can I ask where you got your Porsche lettering from?

Are they perspex or vinyl?

Mines is 2.9m wide and works fine. My advice is to use the garage to store the car and nothing else ( no clutter)IAs you have not had a garage previously, this should be quite easy for you.

I'm normally not a fan of number plates but that is rather cool. Well done

Cheers,I agree,I've always said private plates are a waste of money and only for the vain. I took a lot of stick from friends and family when I bought theses two, but they made me laugh so I just couldn't resist!

Now THAT is what I would like my garage to be like !!

It was for a while but gradually it accumulates the detritus of everyday life .... I had a purge last year but need to de clutter further!!

It's a Buell XB12 (Harley Davidson 1200cc V twin) with loads of aftermarket trick bits. It sounds awesome.

Really, Its not cool at all, legally its TC05 LOW, I can make anything with a few bolts here and there and some illegal spacing.

Get a grip !! :thumb:

Occasionally it invokes this type of response, but generally if you have a sense of humour it puts a smile on your face.

Some great info and inspiration here. Thanks all.

I will let you know how the house and hopefully 911 search goes!

Love how you are choosing your next house around a 911 fitting. You'll fit in on this forum :thumb:
