Hey hey,
Was able to get a test drive of a lovely 06 zed from Durham this evening, and the salesman was kind enough to let me drive back to my house to see if it would fit up the ramp under the carport - alas, it didn't, catching on the bodywork just behind the front wheels. So, need to look at alternatives... think any kind of ramp is out, backlane is fairly narrow, and we're talking about an inch of additional clearance needed pretty much. Does anyone with knowledge of the sunderland area know of any secure parking facilities or such for rent? Long shot I suppose, looks like I may be doomed to something on stilts to get it in ze back yard.
