Saturday morning is wet and cold (early Nov). I didn't even get out of the village until I drove into the back of someone! Someone just stopped in front of me quite suddenly... I locked up as there was around 1/2 inch peddle travel until the brakes bit, ended up hitting the car at around 5mph..... bent wing and radiator surround. The insurance quote was £14'000!

Bugger, not even 24 hours. £14'000 Insurance to fix the car? How much is the car worth? You are lucky it was not written off.

How big is the garage? My current two car garage is 6 metres deep by 7 metres wide with a 5 metre wide door, we are building a new house, flat block and single story so we can live there even once we are old ( or older as sometimes I think we are already old) and the current design is 6 metre deep by 12 metres wide with two 5 metre wide doors. So 4 cars can fit and all can drive in or out without moving another car. That suits me for my car desire but I also want room for woodworking etc. however it is going to be hard to fit anything bigger.

You must play cricket quite late to drive home under the stars. Assuming it is summer in the UK.
