    Arrow Driveway conquered! (Partly...)

    As for the driveway, don't listen to them - have it concreted like we did! We were put off buying our place because of the steep gravel driveway, but we ended up buying it (five car garaging was a bonus!) and having it concreted two days after we moved in. HUGE cost, but we've never regretted it and I don't have any fear of our driveway now! (See photos of before and after)

    Edit - it doesn't look so bad in the before shot, but it was gravel, very steep and full of ruts and slippery patches!
    NEWSFLASH! I conquered the driveway on Sunday! (Upwards at least...)Hurrah, not as scary as I thought it might have been. Must post a photo of the drive so its 'fear factor' can be judged by the good folks on KB...

    Unfortunately, being rented accomodation, the surface of the driveway is out of our hands for the most part. I'd love it if it was sealed - but I'd love a garage (Or even a shed) more still!

    [Any benevolent KBers want to give me one for Christmas? Go on; for the bike more than for me, you know she deserves it!]

    Blardy good spotting HDTboy! That would be a Conti's workshop (The Peugeot one on the North Shore); sadly it is not my place of work. The good fellow who sold us the bike works there. They were the photos I took to show the Mrs, who I knew couldn't resist such mechanical beauty, and would immediately approve of the purchase!

    Cool city+cagers=not good

    Hah!
    Reminds me of the time that me nd my bf went to an open home out in the country, and it had one of the steepest gravel/dirt/pot hole driveways i had ever seen.
    It was so funi cause there was all these city 4WD cages parked at the bottom.
    Showed them up with our lil starlet parked at the top.

    I shall forward to suggestions to the 'Phurrball family bike naming comittee'...thanks!

    The cat may get jealous of the bike having a name with feline connotations, especially since she is named after a 'shoe'!!
