big reason why I bought the house! it is slightly annoying that the door is so narrow, took about 5 goes forward and back just to get it over there.
 
It would have sold the house to me too. Even if the house was smaller than the garage!

The narrow door can be solved. Look out for a second hand double garage door. A weekends work would get it fitted :)
 
I do want a double automatic door eventually (auto mechanisms are cheaper than I expected)

But that's something for later.
 
Was supposed to pick up the Labia on new years day, but it wouldn't budge due to the rear drums being stuck on (its been in the same place for three months)

Was pissed off and thought i needed to buy another run around, but tonight my mate came with his van, attached a big ass chain to it and dragged it a few metres, seemed to free one wheel up, so I drove it a few feet and it got better and everntually freed.

The brakes were shocking at first but after a good run from there to my house it has got loads better.

- Brakes are still a bit shit
- smells like a mouldy tent
- absolutely filthy inside and out
- one speaker working

And im loving it, its actually pretty fun to drive, hides its 63bhp very well.

Massive cleanup operation at the weekend though.
 
Oh my god, I dont think ive ever come accross a car as filthy as this, I reckon Dave would have had a heart attack if he had to clean it.

So much shite in every crevice, took ages to vac it all out, got some interior shampoo on the seats, and cleaned all the plastics, disgusting.

Outside was just as bad, i took it through a car wash on thursday and it was still awful, so washed it again today by hand. Tried to get all the leaves, sap, mould and moss out from the gaps etc and got most of it out i think.
