Neglecting the P250

I figure there should be a few poeple on here that have built a brick garage so what better place to ask a few questions. The reason I'm going brick is that it will look a bit better and last a lot longer (I'm planning on dying in this house).
As I have a bit of room to spare in the back yard I was hoping to build a 8m (depth) x 10m (width), giving me room for two cars and a whole bay for a workshop. Now my questions are: 1) Is a 4" slap thick enough or should I go for a 5" slap? 2) Does 5000 bricks sound about right for such a sized job? 3) What would be a good estimate for such a job? 4) Am I going too big (or too small)? 5) Any tips you may have? And another thing, I'm still tossing up whether to have a concrete driveway (stenciled) or hot mix. What are people experiences with driveways, i.e. costs per sqm, maintenance costs, etc. Cheers.
