I'm not sure it looks very functional that garage. Besides I have to get these cars first oh and a rotational pad at the entrance of my garage as well. Stewy ATT156979.jpg
John I had a panel lift door and got rid of it and put in a roller so as not to clutter the ceiling up. Do you find when you have a car on your lift annoying if you need to open the garage door behind the lift ! Stewy

there was a housing contractor near me that had rotational pad like a railroad round house in the garage because his wife had trouble backing the caddy out of the garage without either damaging the caddy or the garage..

I think it's neat that amongst all that high powered sports car brawn (F50 Ferrari, MC12 Maserati, Porsche Carrera GT, Ford GT, two Lamborghinis, Ferrari 512BBi, Ferrari Enzo), that over in the corner, sits a silver C2 coupe.

Stewy -
Not an issue - I have a 12' ceiling, and converted the door tracks in my lift bay to the "high-lift" configuration - the horizontal door tracks are 8" from the ceiling, and the actuator track is 2" from the ceiling. I can open the door all the way with a car at full working height on the lift (after unscrewing the antenna mast).
Yep I was thinking the same thing. What's that C2 doing in the corner but when you have a good think it really is a car worthy of being in there. You have to take yourself out of being an American and see it from another part of the world. You guys are brought up with these cars and are use to seeing them. If I drove a C2 around here nobody would know what I was driving. They would just think that's a really cool looking car. Stewy
Up there for thinking ah John !! I couldn't work it out on the first photo. I never used my wee brain and installed a panel door with too much room between the ceiling. So I chucked the panel lift door out and installed a roller ! I could of saved enough money to pay for the 4 post lift If I used my bloody head !!
GGGggrrrrrrr Stewy

Stewy,
Us yanks used to be used to seeing C2's. Unfortunately, I rarely see them now. Maybe two a year outside of NCRS events!
Here in Florida, many of us have to devise ways to make our garage doors Hurricane proof (resistant). Even a single car door needs a center support bar to keep it from caving in during 125 mph gusts. The spread on the tracks is just too wide, specially for the modern metal doors. On the first one "Charlie" back in August 04, I merely used some 2" X 4"s and backed the cars up tight to them. I saw the way the doors were bowing in already at a mere 75 to 80 mph and decided to do something about it. Perhaps I over reacted as I learned later that the windows designed to withstand 125 mph winds are actually made to flex (give w/o breaking). Perhaps the doors may be that way too, but I just couldn't take that chance in protecting my Vette. If it was just my driver, no sweat.
