If you think that's bad, look further up - it was mega manky before. This one counts as a work in progress pic. Eventually it will look like Tony Stark's garage, but without the evil robot butler.
In which case I take it all back. And flatly refuse to post pictures of my own (far smaller) toy-cave which could very much benefit from some brotherly love, but the the chances of that happening are as likely as [insert idiom of choice].

PS: Also, no Audis, because Audis are s.....
... slightly boring.
I have just had that very conversation with a work colleague who is thinking about buying a just as boring bmw 135.... slightly boring.
PS: Have you bought that Flavia Coupe yet? If not, DON'T, because I want to. I just need to scrape up some cash. I will flog you one of my rotters as a consolation prize if you like.

Which part of "It would be more fun to rub **** in your hair" did your colleague not get?

My gran (RIP) used to live on Dovehouse Lane, Solihul. The 'posh' road opposite the Lode Lane entrance.
Not Olton. That was the other side of the road.
Anyway, her pronunciation of Solihul, was
SOUL E HULL
Unlike common people from Olton or Akcocks green who woukd say SOL I ULL
I digress: nice barn, nice Geep
I was not posh enough to live on Dovehouse Lane. I lived on Castle Lane, with the povs. We always said Sole lee HULL, and assumed that only the poshos said SOLeehull. It means "Mud Hill" anyway. We were at the Hobs Moat end of Castle Lane, near Lode Lane, but later we moved to the slightly posher Olton end of Castle Lane. Social mobility!
I have owned four Series 3 Land Rovers, dating from 1973 to 1983, and the chances are that I walked past each but the last one while it was in the factory yard awaiting consignment to a dealer when I was on my way to Elmdon Park to play football. There used to be row upon row of Landies lined up in the yard, in every colour and configuration available.
I used to have a West Midlands accent, but apparently I lost it somewhere on the road between Solihull and Oxford one day in early October 1981. It may have fallen out of the back window of a Princess laden with books and clothes, two proud parents, and a somewhat anxious soon to be nineteen year old, suffering with a case of Imposter Syndrome from which he has never quite recovered.

Jasper Carrot once told the story of dating a posh bird from Solihull, he turned up outside said posh bird's gaff in a ratty old van, her parents didn't take kindly too him at all but let him in. Inside the house was the biggest dog he'd ever seen which made him a bit nervous, the dog started licking it's balls and Jasper blurted out nervously ''I wish I could do that'', posh girl's mum reposted with ''if you give him a biscuit, he'll let you...''.
Jasper now lives in the posh bit of Lapworth, a bit further south than Solihull.
(Related trivia : my grandad was a sound engineer and recorded all of Jasper's live albums in the '70s, he was featured in a BBC2 music documentary a few years ago which was a nice surprise to find on youtube. I now drive trains through Lapworth, Olton and Solihull, which is much nicer than driving trains through Crewe or Willesden!)

Jasper Carrott started his career at The Boggery, a folk music club in Solihull. I used to go there for under-aged drinking sessions circa 1979-80.
Lapworth has a lovely church, a good gastropub called The Boot, and an interesting and regularly used flight of canal locks. The road from Lapworth to Warwick is a great sportscar or motorbike road.
