Thumbs up Garage Width?

Just going through the process of applying for planning permission for a garage

Generally speaking what (internal) width of garage would you recommend for the S?

It fits well inside a standard small size garage. I got measurements somewhere. If I was building one id make sure it could accomodate a Skyline in terms of length too.

Length is no issue (Fnarr fnarr) My neighbour is extending his garage lengthways and mine has to match as we will have a shared roof

Actually this is cool as I currently have nowhere to store my Snap-On kit

Exactly - That's what I'm worried about

BTW - I love the idea of sticking a matress on the back wall just in case you reverse too far

The mattress belonged to the previous owner - I've never ever touched it. The next owner will be getting it too

To be honest, I never use the garage - it's just too tight as you say. Plus you can't go straight in due to a brickwall exactly a car length in front.

This picture reminds me of the Vauxhall Corsa Hide & Seek advert
