My guess is that it now rolls, that is a big deal for your smaller garage (which is bigger than mine)

Apart from the sideways phone thing, it's obvious that Supervision is required....

But we are making progress, found the rear master has given up its life since i parked it...so that shall be attended to.

I am Not putting on the NOS speedo that I got from KYpondman, as now it still shows the life, I have had with it for the last 2 decades..

On a brighter note, it is much brighter outside of your garage door than mine today. We have a dusting of snow covering an icy drive. Very different than what we woke up to today.
