Having a bit of a 'what if we won the lottery' conversation it has been decided that I can have an underground garage.

So assuming capacity for 10 cars and a little workshop would it be at all feasible to build it for an 'affordable' amount?

My thinking is a normal looking house with double garage attached but rather than it being a proper garage is actually the down ramp.

It would certainly suit the Zonda to drive into an underground lair biggrin

you need plenty of room for a nice gentle down ramp.....

Not because the Zonda might rub its nose, but because the effing bureaucrats demand a maximum gradient
for wheelchair access, and loads of room inside the house for the wheelchair access to the garage inside. For these reasons, a buddy of mine wasn't allowed to build an undergrond garage on his self build.

A Mate of mine has an underground garage, you drive into the double garage at ground level onto a four poster ramp that descends into the underground garage.



Very nice it is to.

Don't forget to budget for the minions and henchmen, plus some form of doomsday device, or at the very least a tank full of sharks with frikkin lasers on thier heads.

Isnt that the guy with N1GEL as the plate on the yellow lambo. I remember a E4 program about number plates and how N2GEL met N1GEL.

You're kidding?

If that is the case I will have to ensure my wheelchair is suitably V12 powered biggrin

I dont know, but that garage set up must have cost the same as one of the cars, easily! He obviously puts his money into his cars and garage!(As well as number plates!)
