Great pair of cars and love the glass idea though no good for security if the garage is visable from the road.Nightorange said:

That looks great, tell your builder to get better fitting trousers.
Ha ha that's what I thought! Loving the garages - some serious attention to detail there, from ol and others.
Have a question for my own garage:
I've painted the floor white (look, I like it, ok?) and so to avoid tiremarks and lifting, I've bought 2 lengths of black rubber matting to drive onto, the sort about 1m wide with a pattern of raised dimples the size of a 10p.
But there's a problem: they stink of fresh (slightly burnt) rubber. I'm no stranger to the occasional smell of burnt rubber but my preference for the garage would be more along the lines of a gentle whiff of warm oil and old leather. I thought the smell would go, but after 3 months, the mats still honk.
So before I get something different for the other garage (which then won't match), can anyone tell me if this is normal with this sort of rubber matting, or have I just bought some particularly smelly stuff? Thanks.

You could try leaving the mats outside to 'air' for a while.Have a question for my own garage:

The life of the 'paint' will depend on what you used.
Acylic will need repainting regularly
Epoxy resin should last a long time if the floor was prepared properly before application.
The resin is much more expensive and usually thicker. It should not lift on hot tyres (F1 use it)

Don't suppose it's a 1995 2.7M?
Nightorange said:
Yes indeed - it is a '95 2.7! What makes you think you recognise it? Don't all Rosso/Nero Spiders look the same?
It's got the head unit I had installed along with the C-Tek adaptor in the passenger footwell. It also looks like it's got a mark in the left hand side of the roof where the material has worn slightly and finally it's also still got the sticker on the windscreen from Ferrari Racing Days world record attempt!Edited by EVOeng on Sunday 5th June 23:29

Not fancy, but enough space for some bikes, homemade workbench on the left, with tools, beer fridge & sound system built in. Shelving on the opposite side and my new 2002. Cold beer, tunes and classic cars. It's a very happy place to be! In fact I'm going there now!
that must take a lot of no more nails to get the car like that Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
