Hi,

Just my brief introduction,

Recently purchased a Marcos Mantula (ex works lightweight) needing a full rebuild, http://www.marcosmantula.com is my website detailing the restoration, please visit and say hi.

The above car adds to my collection of a MG Midget and a Honda CX500 Custom and yes I do need a bigger garage,


Regards,


Martyn...........

You need a bigger garage? Everyone needs a bigger garage. Whatever size garage you have, it's never big enough!

A few years ago I built my own house which included 500 sq. ft of garage space - plenty of space for my Pilgrim Bulldog, Sunbeam Alpine and various odds and sods... or so I thought.

Nope - that wasn't big enough either.

Now I live in a modern Barratt built house on a modern estate with the usual cubby hole that the estate agents refer to as a garage. My MG Magnette takes it over completely but there is definately no room to work around the car...

I am hoping to extend the garden by buying a strip of land next to our house some day and then build myself a nice big workshop then. But I can't see me having the funds for doing that for a very long time yet...

Hi,

Snap ! although mine is a Bryant,

Wouldn't mind trying one of these next though, if you can build a car then surely a house should be no problem,
