Man Cave best items

I live in a converted bungalow which means that what was a single bedroom downstairs is now my office/man cave. In turn it is full of the most nerdy things I could possibly find.

I have a fine collection of Lego (mostly Star Wars) and various other film memorabilia. I managed to acquire a 1m tall talking Darth Vader, quite pleased with my Stormtroopers as well....



At some point next year the entire room will be redone, new cabinets along with a TV/Xbox set up as well.

Ignore the smart-mouth PH serial w***ers, nice bike, a man-cave can occupy any space that you feel at home in.

Quite so, and I do. Well said and yes why not be any space you live in. The star wars collection is tops, nice one Alex !

The only and correct answer is a large well tooled up garage.

One with a four post lift and a urinal on the wall would be the holy grail.

Real men can hold it or piss on the neighbour's Leylandii

Builders are starting on my garage conversiohttps://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/post.asp?h=0&f=210&t=1844994&r=41142805&m=quoteOne#faceboxMastern on 6th January. So far my man cave ideas are pretty standard. I have Hi-Fi, sofa, pool table, dart board, big TV and beer fridge. I think I need some big Neon signs in the outline of a stripper or something to add that touch of class.

converting your garage??

I've got a collection of F1 helmets, Guy Martin helmets

Prized possession is a 1989 Ayrton Senna full size helmet along with Jenson Button Pink for papa helmet.

Also have about 15 other half scale helmets, some signed and unsigned.

Also got a KTM 250 2 stroke 6 days (road legal) that lives in there

I'm not that keen on the term man cave but each to their own.

I've posted this before but I am lucky enough to have a home cinebar with a decent AV system, bar, beer dispenser, dart board, fussball table, bit of football memorabilia. I love it

Me t weekend having a curryoke evening with a load of pals singing Christmas karaoke followed by curry.

Can I at least redeem myself by having a house with parking for 7 or 8 cars?

That is bad for your prostate, not sure of any negatives to having a slash on some leylandii though.

It is a bit creepy and in my mind is code for "wking den". Far better to have a garage where you can polish your actual tools and not hide from the Wife in your own house!

What do you "real" men who have a "real" man cave ie log cabin.... have to heat them?

So far ive tried an oil filled radiator which has been ok, an electric convector heater and possibly looking at a FAR Infared Panel heater.

Whats the most efficient and cost effective solution you've found?

[Fleckers]

Also needs

Power
Heat
WiFi

I'd pour a gallon of petrol on and in it and set it alight and bask in the warmth of the flames. I'd then build a garage where it once stood with a urinal on the wall next to the massive array of tool boxes.

I've just purchased this for the man cave... no need for it as a replacement part, I just thought it looked like some 'proper' engineering!

RC30?

No not really. Never convert the garage, number one rule.

Amazing story, but building a garage in a garden is probably bordering on stupidity when I have a more than adequate log cabin present.
Many Thanks though for the unbelievable advice

I use a 2KW fan heater. Don't forget to turn it OFF though !

Mines wont be to hide from the wife, itll be a place my pals can come over and hangout in and keep there mess out the house that I'd later just get moaned at. Plus it's a place to watch football without a look of disgust that she may have to miss 1 episode of eastenders in her life.

It is not adequate though because it is too cold. I'd still burn it down though and as a compromise maybe just build a short wall with a urinal on it in the garden?
