Who has the best "garage" on Pistonheads ? not who has the best "i'm rich and have got a showroom"
Surely to qualify as a garage on this post the garage should be occasionally be used to work on the car, therefore excluding the latest Audi/BMW etc on a shiny polished floor where the car is driven out of the showroom to the local dealers to have a lightbulb/windscreen wiper changed,
Just my opinion.....

Surely it all depends on what you want to do with your own money? If you want a showroom then so be it. Not everyone wants a pit, lifts, oil over the floor and chipped mugs for their tea.Surely to qualify as a garage on this post the garage should be occasionally be used to work on the car, therefore excluding the latest Audi/BMW etc on a shiny polished floor where the car is driven out of the showroom to the local dealers to have a lightbulb/windscreen wiper changed,

If I am ever in a postion to build my own garage then it would be somewhere in the middle. I would love a lift and I still want to build my own Caterham at some point but my working knowledge of engines is very small. I have never done an oil/brake change for example but I would love to learn.

Thing is though I love to see those sorts of garages. They are all garages, after all.Surely to qualify as a garage on this post the garage should be occasionally be used to work on the car, therefore excluding the latest Audi/BMW etc on a shiny polished floor where the car is driven out of the showroom to the local dealers to have a lightbulb/windscreen wiper changed,

My post seems to be upsetting quite a few people, shall I delete it?

It's never too late - start small and work your way up.

My post seems to be upsetting quite a few people, shall I delete it? Like a lot of people on here I bought my house for the garden. Or should I say, building potential. Was a couple of years back now but I built a little shed at the bottom of the garden:
The plot:
Some of the mess during the "getting it out of the ground" phase:
Building:
Cars home:
Mess:
Like I said, few years back now so looks more used and lived in. It's 7m wide by 10m deep and still not big enough.

My perfect garage scenario would be to have a combination of the two, a minimalist pristine showroom to show off some cars, and a workshop to work on others. I think that's the beauty of this thread, we get to see some at either end of the spectrum, and others that are more in the middle.Surely to qualify as a garage on this post the garage should be occasionally be used to work on the car, therefore excluding the latest Audi/BMW etc on a shiny polished floor where the car is driven out of the showroom to the local dealers to have a lightbulb/windscreen wiper changed,

I very much enjoy working on my own cars, evrything from engine builds to welding and fabrication. I would love a nice clean space like the red BMW garage above to work in! It just needs some nice cabinets and a big workbench adding. Just because I enjoy "getting my hands dirty", doesn't mean I want to wade through piles of random garage crap to get to the car!

Note I have same cuboards and are great for hiding clutter and not taking up space with door swing, had office cuboard before , although neat were a pain to open if stuffs stored in front.
