I'll be doing some writing for them and also for EVO (website) soon too. Been doing a few videos of my own although I've only done one with anything to camera as yet (the Abarth). Only a short one and not much to camera, practising essentially at this stage so take it easy eh. ;-) Doesnt help I have to cajole one of my teenage sons to help with the camera at the moment.

Wow! I've just read this whole thread over a couple of days. Top work, Rich!

I've always wanted to build my own garage from scratch and yours is very similar to what I'd have. Great stuff, and well done for having the vision and drive to get it all done. Reading the thread it looked very straightforward, and relatively simple, but I'm sure it wasn't!

As for the video, good first effort. Love that little Abarth biggrin
My only criticism would be to let the viewer know more of how it feels to drive - the sensations and how it make you as the driver feel. Other than that, excellent stuff. I've subscribed so looking forward to what comes next.

Which ones?

Grey in the 3 bay garage were custom made. The red shelves in the 4 bay are just Ikea

If you need some help with some filming, give me a shout. I've done plenty before, and can operate a camera for you.

Only down t'road too.

I've spent a couple of years browsing the forum, but after stumbling across this thread, I felt it to be worthy of my first post here.

Really enjoyed reading this from start to finish today and just wanted to say this is one the best garage builds I've seen. Gives me plenty of inspiration to hopefully have something similar one day. You must be over the moon with how it's turned out...congratulations sir!

Just re-read this whole thread having read it when you first started building last year.

I'm in the process of buying a property with 1.5 acres of land but which has no garages! You've given me lots of ideas! Currently thinking of a triple, don't think I'll bother with lifts for the time being as I don't have enough cars.

Love the overhang though which is a really good idea. I'll start a build thread when I do mine.

Well done on the collection, I too run my own business and hope to one day sell up like you have. I have a list as long as my arm of cars I would like!

Cheers Andrew. Pop a link to your thread in here when you start it eh, then people interested in my build can follow yours.

Collection grows as time goes on. Just added a Speciale. I think I've got a psychological problem.
