....have to keep their pride and joy parked on the road?

Not after any details like location just wanted to gain a perspective on how many, like myself, don't have the luxury of a garage

Have told the missus that the next house is gonna have a garage.....and I don't care if it is just a large garage

Mine is safely locked in our garage-when I was back in the UK I parked on the street in Wells, Somerset (not exactly crime central) and some toe rag keyed it. I also found some local scummy neds looking at it at 1am- we explained what the consequences would be for them were we to find anything stolen or damaged and they went away looking worried.
I wouldn't park mine on the street- rent a garage.

I also do not have the luxury or a driveway or a garage. the car seems to be a magnet for all the locals kids. Luckily for me they all like the car and see to it that nothing happens to it.

On the road as well. I've had it about 4 months and it's been keyed twice and two sets of dust caps have gone AWOL....

...don't get me started on the dust caps!

Anyway, next house has definitely got to have at least a driveway but preferably a garage.

Because it's on the road I'm loathed to do any real mechanical work on it. If I had a driveway I wouldn't have a problem leaving it over night on ramps/axle stands.

Mines kept on the street and touch wood has been fine - Im OK if I get home from work early and I can get a spec outside the house.
I could do with some Boswell cones to put out when Im not here )
