I will study the remake of the Dambusters for tips on optical parking guidance.

 

Why not use the method the first used for setting torpedoes?

 

They put a long prodder on the front of their boats and submarines :-) A bit like Sir LanceLot.

I made mine 2.5M wide.  More of an issue was getting the height I required, I wanted it tall enough to get the Landrover in.  That height requirement ruled out sectional doors.

 

I ended up with a rolller door. they have the big advantage of fitting to the inside face of the opening, so when open, there is no reduction in the actual opening,  These don't come in standard sizes, they are made to measure.  Cost £500 from ebay.

Sounds like we both had the same ideas and for the same reason. A green oval product!

One reason I am looking into a cut roof is that I want to develop the space above the utility room ceiling that is incorporated into the garage, there should be 4m3 of easy access storage there.

Not sure about parking assist but has potential as a refueling labour saving device.

 

Now back to that film, have they found a politically correct name for the dog yet?
