I know what you mean Mart, I've just moved house over here to somewhere with what they call 'a garage'. The wifes car (smaller than the Vair) just goes in, and once you are in, you can't open the doors to get out. The third bedroom isn't big enough to actually fit a bed in.
Oh, how I love the UK.

*edit - and to add that's a damm nice place you have there, well done and keep on with the progress photos

Nice! You have room to work all around the car while it's parked inside. Is there an attic for storage too?

I like it, this fall doing a remodel on my two car garage to make it more of a man-cave! The best part? It was the wife's idea. Not sure if she it trying to get me out of the house or what. Either way, I win!

It's great you took things in your own hands with the body work (jealous). :not worthy:

It is looking great!
