It's the secret entrance to a Tardis. 

Gawd.  Have you lived all your life under a rock?

What is it, Aussie?

It looks like a large elevator bay, with doors at each end.    [there are doors at the far wall also]

An elevator, for a car/vehicle ?

Yep, that's what it is alright.

For a multi-level parking garage.

Or even a lift in a Hospital for larger beds, equipment etc.

Nah.

It's a carpark lift - for cars.

Yup, a car lift. There was two but one didn't seem to be working. As I was exiting the car waiting to go in was a MB roadster, prob worth $1m driven by Yoko Ono's doppleganger. She sneered at me because she had to back up to let my POS soccermum SUV pass.

gordon,

Look, if constant social intercourse on an open public forum has taught you anything about people.....
you should have learned by now, that 'entitled' individuals expect to be able to do just as they wish,
and to do it, exactly when they wish.

Entitled.

;)


Ah well.

I guess that is for those who are able to enjoy exclusive, 'off-street-parking' ?   heheh

Can't half tell it's for cars with all the oil marks on the floor ... but where's the coffee machine and the sandwich dispenser if the lift gets stuck between floors? No music either

Seems like a good idea. A lot of car parking space in the city is lost to ramps.

'Good idea'  ?


Do these 'off-street-parking' elevators have 'a crank handle', in case the power goes out ?

Maybe they ALL have a standby emergency generator ?     :-?

The first time I saw something like that was in Manly, many years ago.

Looked a bit like this:

Fairly new and posh building with a 24/7 concierge. It also has UPS for lifts and emergency lighting.

No, this one was in the water. A tad large for a boat stacker.

Did get to drive your car in an elevator or have a fang on a lux motor yacht this week?

in a private car park maybe, but try getting out off one of the car parks on pit st in Sydney at peak hour where you have 200 cars all trying to get out within a half an hour period. You might be waiting hours for the lift.

The 1st give away should have been the oil stains on(the 2nd) steel checker plate floor.

looks like the Aldi elevator where I live.

They have no other way to get the goods to the Aldi level
