Just spent the best part of an hour and half reading the entire thread, having not logged in since page 1.

Everything about his built is absolutely meticulous and knowing Leg it wouldn't be anything but! (Seems weird calling you leg!)

An absolute inspiration to anyone that has a dream and will do everything in their power to make that dream happen. Can't wait to hear and see when the next big project is going to be!

Ayup Craig. Dunno, the idea was to relax, enjoy the stuff I have and spend time with family but, well, see how long that lasts eh.

You at VW Fest today?

Great project , congratulations , as you say at the end of your video , relax now and enjoy your time wisely smile The Fiat looks lovely and is perfect for the pride of place behind the glass wall . At the beginning of the video there was a really nice Porsche (and other marquees) logo wall plate - can you please let me know where it was from ? Also did I spot a Sonos speaker - if do , great system , I love mine - proper clever tech .

What an awesome build thread, you've given me inspiration to build something similar when we eventually find the house/land we need.

Great choice on lack of afro for the music.

This might seem a bit of a strange question but with such an extensive car collection what do you do with the keys? Are they all chucked in one pot or do you have a dealer level organisation?

They're very organised and very secure. 11% of the build cost went on security for the garages and house.

Lack of Afro have knocked out some top tunes, Suspicious Glow is a favourite as is The Importance of Elsewhere. Big Smoove and Turrel fan too.

Good man, it's a shame we can't see that but I can understand why you aren't sharing that part, I wouldn't either.

Smoove and Turrell are very good, I'm a big fan of The Sound Stylistics. I take it you listen to the craig charles Funk and Soul Show on BBC 6 Music, if you don't you should.

I do. Also have all Craig's compilation Albums. The Jalapeño Funk albums have some good stuff on them, also like Third Coast Kings as well as older stuff (O'Jays, John Legend etc). Mind you I'm as likely to be listening to Passenger or The Stones. I blame ITunes.

Damn, I was picturing a huge and very expensive bunch of keys!

Yeah sorry guys. I had a couple of suspect messages after posting it so passworded it. The messages didn't originate from PH though so somehow the video has ended up linked elsewhere. Over 600 views so I knew they weren't all from here.

Ill work something out.

That isn't good, I hope it's all OK!

I did watch it 4 times so that probably contributed smile

Sorry to hear that some T*ats have been in contact, There are enough pictures on here for most of us to work out how cracking it looks.

If anyone wanted to nick anything they would have to be pretty keen given the security Ive put in and my location. Pretty much impossible short of a confrontation with me and I don't think I own anything desirable enough to warrant that. As my insurers said, "We have clients with collections of extremely high value with much less security than you've implemented living in areas with much higher crime rates Sir. Thats why your premium is so low". This surprised me as, as a Yorkshireman, I thought my premium was bloody massive.

Its tricky isn't it. On the one hand PH is all about us all sharing our passion. Its one of the few places you can say "Look at my cars/garage" without eliciting the response of "showing off what an arse" or "Zzzzzzzzz" (second one is my wife typically). On the other hand there are days I regret starting the thread. Then I want to share again and think ahh sod it.

Video is back up as I'm having an "Ahh sod it moment". This work? https://vimeo.com/136318386
