Just going off what the guy says... I live in East London and do not worry about my car parked on the street.

I shouldn't have to explain myself but I will.
I've always owned my own houses, met a girl in another county, sold my house and moved in with her (council house). We are planning to buy a place together but right here and right now this is where we live. We both work full time and not claiming benefits, just so we're clear
It's not a nice estate, I've had several Astra's damaged over the years so a while back we took the opportunity to rent a couple of garages (we both have MK4 SXi's currently).
@bruce_19 Yes its council garage, some are wider than others though so I'm curious
GTC is 2020mm with mirrors and 1840 without. My Mk4 is roughly 1780-1790 with no mirrors but its a More Door so shorter doors, never had a 3 door before but I suspect with longer doors they need to open wider to get my ass out. If I tuck my SXi over to the left I can get in and out ok.
I'm hoping with the GTC I can fold the mirrors back before driving in and still get out, failing that I'm trying to dream up a way of getting it in and out without me in it....skates, trolley...something crazy like that.
