House that is for sale 2 minutes from my house.

Big garage is Posted Image'ing big.
6 cars.


I think you could get more than 6 in there.

We looked a buying a house (unfinished) that had an almost identical garage.
Didn't buy it as it was outside the budget and I was worried that, over time, such a large space would be filled with junk*.


* old cars

If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

Just pulled the flue off the fireplace, was like a good 15mm of scale built up inside, hosed that bad boy out, and now gotta borrow the brush from my dad!

I thought the same. Judging by the one thats there you could fit a dozen in with some juggling, or 10 very comfortably. I could have a dedicated polishing studio in there, and still have room for the family cars.

Sig worthy.

I hope I'm stating the obvious here renny, but have you got spring compressors on that bad boy?

What I have done before, is put allen key in top bit, and use vice grips on socket to crack the nut.

This:

This is what my mechanic did.

This is what many people suggest.

It works.

Make sure to get a wheel alignment when you're done!

You are lucky you couldn't get that top nut off.
If you had, you would of had a face full of top plate.

I have seen someone (un-qualified I might add) have their teeth smashed through their bottom lip when an uncompressed spring let go!




Did you do a search? Or just jump right on in?



Haha jase has beat me to the response for the second time today :P


You snooze, you loose.
:P


Out of curiosity, what was the first?

If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?
