I was running out of space at home, so I got a warehouse. Is that wrong??

Not at all although it's a bit excessive! Nice one

It's a warehouse though, not a garage!

If he is using it to store his own cars, it doesn't matter what the building is, it is being employed as a garage...

Hell's bell's. 8 years old, 65k miles and still nearly £200k.

In another 8 years time it will be a pile of rust on the floor and almost worthless....

And the ladies think cars are expensive to run!!!

God those horses travel in style! Seriously didn't realise they were for people too....

Buying one of those and converting the horse stalls to motorcycle bays would be my ultimate lottery dream

To be honest they really last and at these costs, people tend to look after them given the cost !!

Sadly it is not, going up might be a bit tricky!

You can kind of see it at the end of the first shot, there is a car lift that runs up and down the middle of the building. The railings are removable with a couple of bolts and so move out the way and then on and off the hoist they go.

My good man that's so impressive it almost calls for a custard test. What a fab set up. Well done you.

Thanks for the nice comment, at this time it is very pertinent to me and enjoying life in good health is the best one can wish for!

Good luck to you, that's a nice collection you have there. Because you need to dismantle stuff to access the cars I guess it's more of a museum in some senses. Pity you can't just whip the MGA out for a blast on a nice sunny morning...

Zadkiel, the real question is, which one is your favourite?

[Zadkiel]

Yes Rich, the second level cars aren't to easy to get down and drive on my own although it is a doable. So I try to rotate what is up top and what is down below from time to time as all the downstairs cars head out a bit (I rarely drive my daily driver when the weather is good). For the photographer I put all the cars in their correct place etc but it's not usually that tidy!

As for favourite it is quite a tough call, however I used the 280SL as my main wedding car due to it being white (and having a roof, which I was told was essential for hair maintenance purposes) and therefore for sentimental reasons that's probably the one.

Custard test can be arranged, like a good magician you can pick a car before I make it disappear (or put something odd next to it)
