I like tiled floors. I did end up leaving the tiles at my old garage but it was a bit smaller than my current garages! I went with the Dynotile tiles both times. My old garage was a tight squeeze with 3 cars and 4 motorbikes and assorted junk squeezed in. At my new place the internal garage can squeeze 2-3 cars and 3-4 motorbikes but currently only houses garden machinery so no tiles yet. Have a nice timber garage block now though that fits 3 cars comfortably and currently 6 motorbikes with space for a couple more.

I won't give up and then you can all laugh at the colour tiles I have adopted! Some of us can't laugh at floor colour choices!

Howard,
Crikey, was it that obvious that I was born in Otley!
I just assumed that no one would want a bright green floor!
We once moved into a house in Yeadon where we had the same experience as yourself so understand where you might be coming from.

Is that a Flavia in the background? But what are the 6 bikes? Sadly, I can only garage one bike these days - probably as well as otherwise I'd likely end up with 6.

Not really, my Mum and Dad lived in Bradford at the time (Mum from Hillsborough, Sheffield / Dad from Wibsey) and for some reason Otley became the place Mum was taken to for my birth. I came back in a Matchless and sidecar as they didn't have a car at the time.
Both became Morgan owners in their older life but the first passion was motorbikes, Dad having been a dispatch rider for the Signals during the war.

Sadly, I can only garage one bike these days - probably as well as otherwise I'd likely end up with 6. 1964 Flavia Vignale. For a while I had the Ferrari, 2 Aero's the Flavia and the Tesla. Only the Ferrari gone. The 6 UK bikes are: 1961 Triumph TR6 1998 Yamaha VStar 650 Classic 2000 Yamaha Royal Star Venture 2004 CCM 404DS 2017 Honda CRF250 Rally 2018 CCM Spitfire Scrambler Plus I have 2 in the US 1999 Yamaha Royal Star Venture 2000 Yamaha VStar 1100 Custom I am tempted to add another BMW as its been about 10 years since I had one. Can't decide just yet over the GS1200 Rallye and the new 850

Just made a new landing pad for my Lotus from the tiles, so easy to do. Added a block out the front for the quicklift jack too. Very happy with it too.

That’s really cool John, both the tiles and the car!
