and i was thinking you were a posh git with a carpet in your garage!

no offence to any posh gits out there

I went to get concrete paint for my garage floor and discovered it was a lot cheaper to buy a new carpet (albiet a cheap one)

Had to wait 5 months for delivery of my S2 and the garage was sitting carpeted all ready for it

Carpet still in good nick with a few oil stains from the bikes but great for working on them in the cold.

Iain, interesting one...

Does the carpet not go musty if you drive a wet car onto it?

I used to take the tyres off at the doorstep

No real problem with musty carpet. It was cheap carpet only costing £0.99 sq yard or something like that and has worn fine. Easy to vacuum every now and then and at that price its virtually a disposable floor covering. Helps stop the dust you get with a concrete floor. It was in a carpet shop next to a B&Q store. After seeing the price of concrete paint in B&Q I had a look around the carpet shop and got plain grey ribbed carpet for less than £20

The first pic was taken on the seat of an Ikea computer chair although I'm sure that the carpet at 99p sq/m does the same job if you fancy that kind of thing in your garage! Certainly would keep our neighbours amused if I was to take to hoovering the garage floor! They'd think I'd gone bonkers!
