Why not include a spot for your Pagoda like this ---- http://www.petrolicious.com/holger-schubert-workspace-garage-gallery

Must be fun to have that kind of shelter for ones toy :) mind you if I would park mine in that spot it would smell a bit like a real automobile :)

When I was rebuilding our townhouse, my wife agreed to allow me to design in a glass walled garage to the lounge for the Pagoda to sit in as a piece of art. I was really excited.  Unfortunately, the Council would not allow the plans as I had then used up more than 80% of the land area with building so disappointedly ended up with just an open parking space outside the living room area in the courtyard :’( Pagoda was relagated back to the shed on the country property :(

Hi Garrry,
you should vote these councillors out of office on grounds of being too provincial!  
I must say, looking at your mock-up plans again I thought they were gorgeous, especially that lift display!  ;D
BTW, I still like to buy the roadster in the back from you!  ;)

James,

Still better then one of the old American cars :) As a youngster and my first trip in an old 1953 Oldsmobile I took a trip from Montreal to NYC in 1959. I put 12 quarts of engine oil in the trunk when I left Montreal and when I arrived in NYC they were all used up. In fact I remember pulling into the gas station in NYC and when the attendant asked me how much I replied "Check the gas and fill up the oil!" he replied in a nice NY accent "Say what?" I just repeated myself.

"Check the gas and fill up the oil!"

I'm glad we have a dip stick on our cars so we can check the level before driving our 280SL ... my last M3's had no dip stick all is now electronic. BTW I too have a slight oil leak on my 280SL I use a rubber mat under the car and check the oil level before I drive her :) keeps the garage floor dry and gives me piece of mind :)
