Stuck car

iBot · 6 Apr 2007 at 23:19

Hi guys, about 18 months ago my friend picked up a damaged Ferrari testarossa, as a project car to fix up and drive.

Life got in the way and he had to store the car off road round his parents house. So we towed it round and managed to get it in the back garden under a tarpaulin.

Now he has a bit more time he wants to start working on the car.

His parents house is semi detached, and there detached neighbour has since put up a fence between the two houses (This was originally how it was, but there old neighbours wanted a drive so they removed the fence).

Anyway, the car is now stuck in the back garden.

As funny as that is, can anyone think of any seinsable way of getting the car back on to the road? The new neighbours are snobs and wont let them remove the fence (And its a proper job so we cant rip it out and put the fence backup when they are out)

1) Take angle grinder
2) Chop car up into small pieces
3) Carry bits of car out of back garden
4) Start welding

When a neighbour (old house) wanted a prebuilt pool lifted into his garden he paid ~£400 for a crane for the day from a local place called NMT or MNT cant remember which though!

Any chance of getting it out via the neighbour behind them?

Crane?

Ramp and a run up?

Nick kiddies balloons and tie 'em to the car?

Or serious discussion with the neighbours, bottle of wine and a mature conversation.

^^ you might want to add a fine cheese to that

but a crane sounds like your best bet

didn't alarm bells ring when they started putting the fence up in the first place

Dig a tunnel under the fence and put the car through it

The solution is of course to build a teleportation device and use it to move the car.

Alternatively, invent and build a time machine, go back in time and prevent the fence ever being built.

Problem solved.

Check to ensure they had proper planning permission for the fence. Fairly often they don't and then they are legally obliged to take it down

Best idea yet.

You have three options:

1) spend hundreds on a crane

2) fix the car up in the garden and rev the engine in the middle of the night, until the neighbours give in

3) As the neighbours again nicely, clearly stating that you will cover all costs for taking the fence down and putting it back up exactly how it currently is

4) Foolishly fit a barbeque to the fence and apologise afterwards.
