I couldn't resist the Aston Martin stickers (from World of Wall Art via e-Bay, excellent service, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Large-Aston-Martin-Badge...

This is the mid-size version which just fitted the space I had. All I need now is a Lotus version for the other side (proving difficult to find so any suggestions gratefully received).

I do have to ask.....where does everyone keep all the junk that seems to be floating about in my garage?

Lets have a look and see what we have.....
- Kids bikes
- Kids ride on electric cars
- Kids scooters
- Paddling pool
- Old double bed
- small pile of 'useful' wood tucked in the corner
- old washing machine
- my bikes
- two motorbikes
- garden furniture
- car cleaning stuff
- Painting/wallpapering stuff

I have nowhere else to put these things so I am guessing you lucky lot with the showroom garages have no kids and have other places for the things you are not going to throw out....get some Photos up of your dumping grounds I say!!!

OR does it work like this.....

Do the edges of your drive now look like this?

I've had it 20+ years, its in my will - one of the kids has to keep it and maintain it. Its the definition of a 'keeper'.

I thought that had already been dealt with. Sell the kids, the car goes with them no?

That red mower looks familiar.
That said ours doesn't have the (optional) pipe rack.

That's the old one that died, I can send you the pipe rack if you wish? wink

I want to fit a CBR600 engine to create something like this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBK2qP-NMW0evil

The pipe rack would be gratefully received. I can probably convert it into something for holding crossbow bolts or something.
I'm not sure if you'd spotted but those you tube "mowers" appear to have no means to cut the grass. Probably just dig it all up and spew it in the air I guess.

Baseball cap holder perhaps?

I don't need the red one to cut the grass anymore, I've already taken the blades off it - got the green one to cut the grass now smile

George, it seems sad that your mower collection is indoors and dry, yet your DB9 sits outside under a cover. Surely it should be the other way around? confused

The green one. George. Be careful. With all that grass flying about you could increase the probability of mould under your hood. Also bear in mind that depending on the size of the garden a few circuits and you may be over the 10k mark. hehe

Ideally, yes it would be the other way around! smile

Do you manage to get the Vanquish in your garage Neil ????

My DB9 may just squeeze in but no way would you ever be able to get out smile
