Ah feck, what a nightmare mate 😢😢😢

[@stephenlynch3411]

Here's an idea, look for another yard! I know it sounds drastic and maybe impossible and will probably change the feel of the channel but your landlord is taking more and more back. Plus you'll have to contend with more vans/cars coming and going who make use of the containers taking more space away even if only an hour or two through the day in their designated parking I guess. I know its a big step as I'm on the look out for somewhere myself. Ideally you need to own your own place but not cheap to do. Maybe something for the future to think about as obviously now you've got alot of car shifting to do. Good luck!

[@georgeprime2249]

Told him this a long time ago.

[@ProjectNigel]

I was extremely lucky to get this spot, it's not the kind of thing that cones up often. The landlord is always getting enquiries for the space that I occupy. Once it's gone, it's over.

[@Hairysnid]

Only three outside spaces Paul? Surely you can have more than that - there's two outside the lock up and one in front of the bottom lock up. Are you loosing the three or four spaces down by the toilet as well?

[@danpeters5028]

[@ricktreasure9141]

Maybe for a while Nigel (when you're down to 6 cars) you'll have to adopt a strict 1 in 1 out policy. When the containers are in and all has settled back down you never know: you may be able to gradually sneak a little bit of space back...

That’s tough … I fully agree though that it doesn’t make sense to pay the same amount of rent for 20% of the land.

[@merikblackmore]

More than a bit harsh of the landlord. Could you negotiate with them? Once the SD1 & caravan are gone there's 3 or 4 spaces, plus 1 in front of the bottom lock up. Add the spaces where Nigel & the peugeot are, that makes 7 outside spaces not in anyone's way.

[@ProjectNigel]

Three spaces down the side of the lockup - easy. Two in front of the top lockup to keep it secure. No problem. He just doesn't like to see stuff rotting in full view I guess.

[@Sam-go3mb]

[@peterbrownless]

Ay up t'lad You've probably had all these thoughts, but maybe you haven't, so here goes: 1) the cars that aren't yours: do any pay towards the cost of the yard? If yes, is there another space in town you could rent to move them to? Would the income cover the outgoing? And if the pay nowt, you'll just have to tell them to go away nicely. 2) has that nice Boaty chap got anywhere to store any? 3) I'm sure the Audi, if nowt else, will sell easily, quickly and for a fair price. 4) harsh as this is, and it is, if push comes to shove then sell some for scrap: it'll bring in some cash and appease t'landlord. I'm over Teesside so not much practical help I can give.

[@timJones-u8z]

My Personal thoughts I would find another unit or barn on a farm with flexible use..I think your landlord has been giving hints for sometime but sadly you have worked hard to address the issues that have been raised. Start a new chapter find a great place the Landlord wants the whole yard for storage units he has shrunk your usage beyond fairness Its your lifestyle/business and you strive for your goals its really hard but you have made major efforts. My Vehicles are parked about I own 10.. 90% are taxed MOT and insured but surely my 10 vehicles would be better in a storage type unit. Where I can SORN 90% of them so if its a convertible tax it from April To October and my winter vehicle Range Rover November to March and have a daily driver which is taxed all year round. Obviously I do a different kind of Hobby job as mine is courier work and I am trying to buy a nice trailer for moving cars about..So a storage unit would be wise. Used to work for this guy down Hove in East Sussex, He was a Rover Guy in Auntie type cars and Jaguars Mercedes, He had a Sales room that housed Six cars and two outside and workshop in Brighton which did breakdown/restoration and car stripping. But one day Me and the Mechanic had a task of filling the car yard called Rope tackle Within a few hours we literally filled this yard with cars I had never ever knew this guy owned blew my mind completely there were empty spaces where cars once sat. I collected a few cars on the truck from various locations I loved the driving side PB4 Rover was my favorite but also a 105 Rover 2.6 with two tone paintwork one of his best cars in his sales collection.. Oh and I cannot leave out the two other favorite cars Alvis TD21 Coupe with 5 speed gearbox in it raw state but the ultimate was an Austin Beardsmore taxi which I got to drive.. Being an ex taxi driver from Coventry was like driving a 50s Cab in 1996 its making me cry thinking about it..omg..

Yes, this was my thought too. Security’s going to be a greater issue in the future and there’s a history of theft there. Part of the charm is the big, 60s style yard that Paul wanders around in and, if that’s gone, it’s going to feel different. The open and relaxed environment in the yard is a character in the production.
