I was expecting that answer tbh, but no. Could be wider, would be useful, but is ok as it is.

Jaffa, closest! Have to take the sodding bumper off to get it up the drive and into the garage! I'm gonna have a play about with some planks of wood and see if I can get it in without having to mess about with taking the bumper on and off.

Saw this the other day aswell, want it in the lounge

I'm not a fan of carpets anymore. Pissed off with mine Need to hover them everyday to keep the fluff off my socks from showing

Next summer i'm putting ceramic tiles down. Just a little worried they will be cold

You wont notice it, trust me! We have no doors at the moment and my lounge diner is right next to kitchen, everything is very open plan atm

We dont notice it at all when i cook, doesnt bother me at all it will only be a problem if u cook everything with huge amounts of garlic

Colin, its only on 35mm dropped springs! It must be the weight of the engine and box that bring it down so much, right pain in the arse, to drive aswell!

Did you actually have finish in it Lee? I remember seeing it and all I saw was brown water?

What you really want is to make the whole wall your planning on knocking down into a fish tank, now that would be cool

Welcome to the house club.

Whens the fancy dress party then? PS, dont buy any TV's from Comment, go to a specialist and save a packet and get a TV that wont break in a few years time and will be future proof
