Although our driveway might not suggest, we get on really well with our neighbours.

Must be a pig to park the 110 there - with the turning circle of a 110 and the proximetry to the gate there's got to be a lot of shunting involved?!
 
110 turning circle not too bad, mitsi L200 double cab has a worse turning circle and is over a foot longer = 8 point turns!!

Well spotted - you don't know the half of it. It had to be pushed there!

Its a "work in progress" and currently a non-runner that usually resides behind the garage in the garden. But we had a couple of trees felled on Friday and moved it to a safer place. I towed it out through that gate with the Freelander, but there's a fence in front of the cars in that pic, so had to finish it with a few pushes backwards and forwards :)
 
:) We get on great with with these neighbours - BBQs, drinks, we go to their parties and they come to ours - they find it amusing watching a bunch of ex-pat Pomms who've had a skinfull prancing around to the likes of 3 Lions & Vindaloo!

The people over the back's another matter. 1 day a bloke turns up on our door step saying his daughter's bought the house which she rents out and her tennants can't dry their clothes because a tree in our garden cuts out the sun, and TELLs me to cut it down. So I told him to F**K off. More 'banter' like that and he takes me to court and the judge tells him to F**K off as well. He went quiet after that.

Anyway, I've cut the tree down now cos I was getting worried it might end up getting blown over onto the house as some time. Now I'm just wondering what I can do to the fence/boundry to make it real ****e from his side :)

my reply = why not make yourself up some of them car dollies -
that fit under each wheel and have 4 castors on each -
push it anywhere - any way you like then.......;)

I don't move it all that often. Bit of pushing on the drive ain't to bad and I 'winch' it where it can't be towed.

I have salvaged a base off of a big old CRT TV for when I move the engine around the garage - but I've got to raise the roof on the garage first to get the SIII in !
 
lol....
still not yet erected, but the whole drive has been concreted with marked out post holes left open and waiting for the 4 of 4x4 posts 8 foot plus long to be dropped in, is all for my discos car port/ garage without 1 side :confused:
I put equally big/tall fence posts in on my boundery line last year :confused:
things in life prevented me from finishing the car port off.
due to stupid planing regulations here, I might get plans rejected for such a tall garage=
(garages have 3 sides and doors 1 end)
my carport will have a boundery line fence (one side)
an existing shed at the "bottom" end (one side)
open side opposite the fence (but will have 6foot x 6foot fence panels on hinges) ;)
and no door at the front (but a full width weighted canvas "door" that can be rolled up when not needed = to keep the wind/rain/snow/sun even out when needed.)
it will need to have enough hight to be able to drive my disco under....
but must be able to see through it above boundery line fence ....

its all going to plans but very slowly.....

so, thats the long and short of it all....lol....


or draw plans, get rejected, redraw plans and so on..


over the years in the future (god willing) the missing bits will be infilled ;)
 
A good old evolving project :)
