Fantastic, but, what if you want the 599 out? Got to move some of the others and run them for a short time? Or do you take them for a good blast and park them outside. Popping to the shops would be a nightmare!

This questions sounds like the the owner has some kind of problem... 'Hmmm I need the 599 out but have to shift a few cars' 'OMG what to do'

Well, you don't want to start them up, idle them out of the garage and stop them. So, you'd need to get them warmed up with a bit of a drive.

The 599 gets a big run out this year - she is off to Italy and going back to the Factory!! Cannot wait. To get it out means moving just two cars and they all get a regular run to keep their and my juices flowing!! The only one I do not run a lot is the Barchetta other than local runs - otherwise one gets out virtually every day!!!!

A fantastic collection of cars, great taste! I love the layout of cabinets - where did you get them from?

They're cars not a collection of Ming Vases!

They were bought from a company called GaragePride Limited. They are using some of the photos for their website. The cabinets were sourced by them called Dura - I particularly wanted British made cabinets (support the home team and all that!)

Very nice barn conversion, I like the way you've left some of it rustic. Bit too much of a Ferraris theme for my taste though, I'd just keep the Dino and swap the rest out for some older and more diverse classics

Definitely think I have a shot of winning this thread. It has carpet.



It leaks, is not attached to the house and has no power so I have to guess which tools I might need then lug them to the garage and make many, many trips back and forth to the house to get random sockets, bits, coffee, cigarettes, springy whirlything tool that was bought 20 years ago for a very specific job then instantly lost etc etc....

Just as much love and dedication exhibited there as in FalconWood's garage.

Just completed a rebuild and rejuvenation of some barns. The guys have done a great great job.

This is "Mans workshop"





This is a general garage created from a room filled with steel and rocks, broken walls and very leaking roof!!





And here are the two garages now completed!!!








Very pleased with the results!!

Wow! I would be very pleased with those results too!

Maybe we have a new answer to the original question.

For every single mechanical job I ever do, at least 50% of the time is spent looking for that one specific fking tool!

The roof is (mostly) a charming mix of asbestos and moss with a small section of corrugated Perspex where my ever helpful neighbour fell through my roof whilst "fixing" his own. The walls are sectional concrete panels which I have decorated with slightly panicky looking oily handprints from previous "Oh st I'm trapped under the car/in the engine bay" incidents and I have accessorised with some rugged brown carpet that helpfully doubles as a handy surface to bounce doors off and lie on weeping in the dark saturated in power steering fluid clutching a spanner with a broken bolt trapped inside it.

Genuine LOL at work Have you ever wished you didn't like "interesting" cars and had bought a sensible Daewoo with 10yr warranty instead?
