We (well me really) wanted to move recently to a new house which had an integral double garage.
Found a house that fitted the bill, before making an offer, I carefully measured the door width and made 100% sure the GT would fit width wise through the door (It has twin doors) Fine with 2 inches to spare either side (with mirrors folded in)
Offer accepted, moved in, put the Maserati in for the first time (it fitted lengthways JUST, it is a huge car) but horror! Berkeley homes had built the garage with the main house drainage pipe and a half wall right where the car door would open. The car fitted in but I could not get out (or in) Jeez. In desperation (rather than move house again) I hacked off the boxing around the drainage pipe which means I can now just squeeze the car in the garage AND exit it....... Everyone now happy- wife has her new house and I have a nice garage complete with a power point for the mandatory C-Tek and dehumidifier to stop the subframe turning to dust overnight...
