I had this problem a few years ago where my locking wheel bolt rounded off so used 19mm socket (12point) to remove it - whacked socket over bolt and used breaker bar to remove

Not what I have done more what my wife has done - Went out to the garage this morning to find the roof adorned with some random curtains and about 20 cardboard boxes on the bonnet - i think I am having words this evening when I get home.

Sounds fair.
My buddy has a DB5 Aston that couples as a storage shed and shelving unit. You are not alone.

Divorce. It's that or something involving some rope, a rolled up carpet and a spade, but some people say that's a bit extreme.

I still have the scratches on my roof from when my ex put a cardboard box on it and then pushed it across to the other side. At least I know how to correct that sort of thing now - both the paint and the ex.

Why not just take the opportunity to excavate a cellar? Was reading a book about some guy called Gacy who had a stab at it back in the seventies and some guy in Gloucester not so long ago. Gives you more room for storage if you need it in future.
