Having problems reversing your car out of the driveway because of the parked cars? Well, you can kiss your problem goodbye, for a driveway has been developed that spins 180 degrees. The car turntable, which arrived in Scotland for the first time, allows parked cars to face the right direction, which facilitates its movability. The turntable takes more than a month to install and involves digging a 3ft deep hole to accommodate its concrete base and cylinder. The device is topped with Caithness stone to match an adjacent path. The British Turntable Company said this was the first of its turntables to be installed in Scotland, but it had since had several inquiries. A spokeswoman for the firm said the revolutionary system helped people beat local parking problems "Inquiries and sales are steady year-on-year, but they are not selling in huge numbers," The Scotsman quoted the spokeswoman, as saying. "However, the turntable does solve quite a few problems in relation to access to domestic properties," she added. The ultimate auto accessory for the driver costs 7,500 pounds. (ANI)
