Thats not a garage, thats Stringfellows!

I jest, 'tis an awesome shrine for your cars. I can;t wait to build my garage, i hate working on my car in work, much rather do it a home. I have all the equipment but no where to store it.. Damn council dragging their feet over the plans..


Edit: I just received an interesting article from Autospeed in my inbox on this very subject:

Getting ready for a detail:




Mid detail:




A clean garage:

Now this is what I was talking about when i started this tread, well done Funky. Can I ask, I see you have a polisher on the floor, do you do that yourself or get someone in?
What I love to see are garages that are as clean as yours but are also working garages, not just show rooms.

Here's ours,



When being built.

The finished one has 3 bays and then room in the bend for another with space to work on.

The half done one will take one large car or two small ones.
Nice.... It must be great to be able to create your own space, I cant wait to start building mine.

Funky I love your garage alot!!! Sadly the marble in our house has only reached the door entrance, table tops etc and not the garage. Definately something to strive for.
This garage is a working one with the usual slops of oil everywhere, tools not put away but carpet by the beer fridge. and plenty of space to walk around the cars.

Kylie, I love the contrast in your garage as it reflects exactly what my future garage will be like, Hotrods under construction on one side and sports cars on the others. Well done

I've recently painted it a cream colour, since the pic below, so it doesn't look so agricultural, but more like a large slice of cheese. biggrin






I just love working Hotrod garages....

Thanks mate! It's two of us who rented the place subleasing to the other enthusiasts.

Sadly the railway company is currently reviewing all contracts as they are planning to develop the estate. The pics are quite old - since then we have also rented the 2nd half and its now about 1000 sqm of space and we have 70 odd car's, mainly classics. The bay is basically made from kitchen furniture smile
