Ohhhh bollocks. The only sensibly-priced garage rental remotely near me is literally a couple of inches too short to get her in. Anxiety brain is now kicking the shit out of me while conscious brain tries to formulate Plan B 😭🤦‍♂️ - ThreadSky

First time she's seen daylight since pre-covid and even the tyres are largely still inflated. She's a good girl, really 💙

Are you being evicted from the garage where that car currently resides?

upallnight.racing•9 days ago

That I am. Mum's garage, and she's sold up

jimtay.bsky.social•9 days ago

Did she still live in the same home from your childhood mate? Either way, sorry to hear it and hope you can find somewhere else to make it work and keep the car.

upallnight.racing•9 days ago

Nah, they sold that place when Dad was still alive. Got a few irons in the fire so we'll so how things play out. 🤞

Keeping everything crossed for you dude.

Take the bumpers off? It's a bodge, but it gets her in.

upallnight.racing•10 days ago

I like your thinking, but not sure I'm getting the back one off without an angle grinder/fuckmassive hammer 😬

Also, the garage is only ~6' wide. So I'd be getting out through the window. Probably should've mentioned that.

Yeah 6' is probably your biggest issue. Mines 7.5' which means I've got a bit of 2x3" wood down the left side, aim the left tyres down the wood so I'm 4" off the wall. I've just got enough room to open the door & get out. 6' is barely inches wider than the car even window will be a struggle

I've lost 3 stone in the last year and I'd still have to breathe in 😂 Not going to say it in front of her because she'll catch fire or something, but £100+ a month to store her just seems insane to me, so I don't know what to do now

That's always going to be a tricky one and only you can square that. It's always going to add up when you're paying 3rd party storage, short of befriending a local farmer or neighbour with garage/barn room to spare and doesn't mind doing it for beer money.
