The photographer GF Williams has turned his new build single garage into something rather special in my eyes. Sorry if that wasn't clear. It's all on the 'gram.
Oh ok, yeah don't assume people on Pistonheads know (or care) about the 'gram. Don't know him but yes, he's got a nice garage. RichB said:

You are mistaking manners for something else. I would have thought a person of your tenure would understand the difference and stopped before your post.
You've really lost me. As I said don't use Instagram and I genuinely don't know what's upset you but whatever it was I apologise. My garage is damp, untidy, grotty and very overcrowded but I don't care. Everything I do from there gives me some kind of satisfaction.
I rebuild, repair and service all my cars and bikes out of it. I've not paid a garage to do a single job for 20 years.
I can't even give you a decent picture of it as I can't get the car out at the moment!
It's far from the 'best' single garage but it's all mine and I love having it. It's pretty well equipped with a welder, press, work bench and just about every hand tool.

I can’t claim to have the best single garage (by a long shot) but perhaps the tightest fit 
When we bought the house I knew from the floorplan that it was approx 2cm longer than my car. Thankfully (after a slight modification involving an angle grinder and a box section steel on the back of the garage door) it fits!

I’m impressed you’ve fitted it in. When we bought the house I knew from the floorplan that it was approx 2cm longer than my car. Thankfully (after a slight modification involving an angle grinder and a box section steel on the back of the garage door) it fits! Erm, how do you get in the car, is there enough space to open the door or are you climbing through the hatch?
It’s a lot wider than it looks from that pic fortunately. Plenty of space either side to get in/out (and store 265 wide tyres either side). The only part that is a slight faff is pushing it the last 10cm but tbh only takes a minute.
My small integral single garage when I viewed the house…
After I’d sorted it out…
After I’d filled it…
After the Mrs started dumping things in it…
My daily at the time for a size reference… the TVR is small! The alfa is 10mm from the back wall, before I fitted the Sealey units - the garage door would just close and I had to push the car in as the doors wouldn’t open enough for me to get out, once the car was in.

Why not fit some stops behind the back wheels so you can reverse up to them and you'll never hit the wall?
