Well I looked in my workshopmanuals, and at the BGT. This is what I found:
Length of a TD: 145 inch, 3.683 meter
Length of a B (with overriders) 12 ft 9 3/16 inch 3.897
Length of a B (wo overriders) 12 ft 8 1/2 inch 3.874
So the two parked litterly bumper to bumper: 3.683 + 3.874 = 7.557 meter
> I just measured to be 24' 3" long (7.32m)
>
so even without the bumpers (makes twice around 7 or 8 centimeter) you are still
missing some space.
(is it possible to park then a little of center or park them under a liitle edge
(20 degrees ). That may do the trick. Or get all bumpers off all cars, them it
just fits. And on a TD a missing fromtbumper looks cool. The garage where i
sometimes go for spares or work on the car has such a TD. And it looks good.
Otherwise i would just park the B outside for a while.
Or ;) and susan may like this one Buy a midget.
good luck

P.s. I was pleased to see that guesses from the top of my head are not that way
