Too tidy (= gay).
I reckon my mate might well be in the running when his new garage is up and running. Was just helping him install and wire up the 2 post lift last weekend. 8-)
I would love a lift in my garage.. shame I don't think I could get planning permission for a tall enough garage
(It's going to be touch & go for a double with standard height eaves, I reckon)
It was touch and go in this garage (about an inch to spare ).
I'm sure I came across a supplier of smaller lifts of "domestic garage" proportions that were not too silly money new but can't for the life of me remember where now.
This was a very lucky acquisition. He knows the service manager at a main dealer who happened to mention that one was going begging. 3 phase but we've found a nice inverter to drive the motor and it's looking good.

There was a guy on Pistonheads who got around the height problem by sinking the lift into the floor, so it was flush. This pinched him about a foot off the height of the roof of his garage.
if you are struggling getting the planning permission for a tall enough garage, then why not dig a pit? I've got one in my garage and if I was installing one from scratch then I reckon it would be possible to also install so sort of hydralic (and adjustable) rams to raise each corner of the car, simular to the things that garages have on there four poster ramps.
