Who says GT's are too big for a single garage?

Ditch that shelving and that golf bats, glue some foam to the wall just in case, and possibly a mirror..

Is it that much bigger than a 42?

That is impressive. I couldn't get my GT in my old garage and that had nothing in it. It was the main reason as to why I moved. So it has been done.

That looks a tight fit.....

I have a problem length ways in my garage, I fitted it out for a 911 so had shelving built behind the car. I have had to fit a block of wood to the floor and fit pipe cladding on the shelving. I reverse the car in so I can get out and my drive tends to present the car not square to the garage, there is only about 1.5cm front and back when the door is shut, lucky the front spoiler fits inside the garage door frame......

Me too - I think I have about 10 cms to play with, and I currently have a tennis ball hanging down from the roof to tell me when I've reversed in enough. I like the idea of a block of wood fitted to the floor though...

I use a block of wood, well two, I bounce over the first and stop at the second, that way I can leave the handbrake off also. ( Garage is on a slight slope.)

Don't you just leave in Park? I thought you had an auto?

I had a bit of a rearrangement of the garage this afternoon and moved the shelving on the left to the back wall. I now have plenty of room to get out of the car.
Fortunately the garage is longer than a standard garage so the length of the car isn't a problem.

Now there is no need to contort myself to get out of the car.

Funniest thing said today 3200 Auto an Invalid Carriage.
I was quite surprised when I had a go in one on one of the forum track days how good it was.
Think it was Paul if I remember moved up to a 550 Maranello.

When I had my GTS I screwed a wooden plank to the floor so I could drive in and stop.

The GTS has gone but I still keep tripping over the wooden plank!
