Would it fit between the posts if they lifted the fence and concrete panel out?

All Astras could VTO, it was the L part they struggled with.
It would be very tight with practically zero margin for error.

Seems an extreme security measure for an Astra
I doubt it's SORN though. Why would you bother keeping a SORN Astra, it's not like they are even remotely rare or exotic.
My next door neighbour kept a broken down PT cruiser in his back garden for two years. Obviously didn't mature into the classic he thought it would.

I had a 1999 Renault Megane sat in mine for nearly 5 years, lol.

The whole front panel looks like its coming away from the frame, so i think the fence just lift up and off
Considering he has a dropped kerb and a driveway though, wouldnt it make sense to have a gate big enough to fit a car through rather than lift a fence panel and block of concrete out every time you need to park up ?

I reckon they just wait till next door nip out then drive over their garden and pretend nothing happened, the trampoline is there to cover tyres marks

I hope that was from a handbrake turn but i suspect they just built the wall after (but again begs the question why?).sorry for the partial hijack, but that pic reminds me of a car i saw when i was away on a training course:

Uh they probably just reverse parked that beetle with a few shunts back and forth, then put a couple of sofa cushions in front of it. I parked my Polo like that between the house wall and the garden wall when it was uninsured and for sale.
Perhaps they had gone on holiday or something and wanted to make a potential thief's life difficult.
I'm guessing it's positioning is the point, and there is indeed a gate just out of picture? If not then I have no idea...

Maybe they are in the forces and go away for months at a time, no point leaving it on the road, taxed.
Update the car has an MOT until October 2019!!
May have just used these, but left the 2 near the house on: https://www.sgs-engineering.com/ws4...wGnlfHz00wHo3PJU_OUvZL8ChGPSloM4aAo7jEALw_wcB

Or more likely they took a little while to shunt it back and forth in there and then put the sofa cushions in front. Probably a going on holiday exercise.

that's one of the newer beetles, so i'd wager the walls on all sides are older than the car is.

Damn, 1 year old baby keeping me up too many nights, you know your tired when you read and think "hey that's the same as vertical take off and.... oh.. yea..."
