Paris Underground...

On our way back from holiday we stayed overnight in a hotel in Paris.
We had bikes on the back and so had booked a hotel with secure undergound parking - they assured us the disco would fit!

Well this is the picture of it parked in the bay 2 floors below ground - nice'n'snug.

Getting down there and back up was interesting - we had millimetres to spare on the ramps.

Just as well I didn't buy the 2" lift kit after all

my 2" lifted 90 is reet tight in places like that , bit better with me tools left in the back

Remember in one of my old standard 200's i ended going into a similar car park in the centre of london. it was about 50m along a one way road to get in... at the end of road was the height warning. 1.8m...

Great. No where to turn around, so i had to go in! The height sign scraped along the roof, but i finally managed to actually park!

There's a multi-storey in Newcastle that claims to have enough headroom BUT you can hit the roof backing into some of the spaces! Watch out for sloping roof beams.

Looking back I wonder if the only reason it fitted was because it had 3 bikes on the back and a weeks worth of luggage - not to mention a bunch of tools - well, you _need_ tools don't you

I wish I'd taken pictures of my wife's face as she spotted the decent into the garage - slow slow SLOW!

Did the opposite once with a Transit. Parked the back end over a kerb, loaded 16 kids in the back, drove off and took two kerbstones with me!

Nice one!

Did you make enough selling the kids to fix the damage?

Nah - it was in Sheffield, so we didn't think anyone would notice.

Hope it wasn't you who broke the plastic cover on the fluorescent light

We didn't mean to break it. We were trying to nick it to flog on Y-Bay.
