Who else has a chair permanently in their garage for the sole purpose of being able to sit down whilst admiring the Aston?

C'mon.. fess up.... biggrin

I know I'm not the only one (recent thread with that awesome garage...)

I can absolutely understand why you would want to, but I actually much prefer to look back at it when it's parked with other more ordinary cars; just emphasises how utterly special it is! Is that wrong?

I have a Jag S Type front seat which I have to sit on, along with a fridge and a tv! I sometimes find myself sat in here rather than the house!!! It's a lot more civilised

I have two leather sofas on which I can relax while perusing the perfection of Aston Martin.

I used to have a sofa but there's no longer any room.

I can sit in my Alpina and enjoy the view of the rear of my Vantage, though. Its much more comfortable than the old sofa...

Does it count if when I open the garage door I always pause a bit in my jeep and just look at the Aston before I pull in?

Is this because they are not enjoyable behind the wheel? wink

Surely you should be driving then not looking at them

What type of floor is that CME? I'm building a garage (also building a house to go with it laugh) so I'm interested in options for floor coverings

I can see why you have hung up your bike Clive.
You no longer have any time for cycling, because you have to sort your rubbish into four different bins.
I thought we paid the council to collect and handle domestic rubbish.
It seems that we now pay, and do the work as well.

I bought my flooring from tileplan.co,uk. Its exactly the same stuff as Race deck but a lot bloody cheaper!!! LOL.

Awesome company up North of Uk.

Boss name is Colin and his number is - 07737 273468

I opted for the 7mm thick tile as its bullet proof and dead easy to lay and if you did manage to damage a tile you can very easily remove it and replace with a new one. Giant jigsaw puzzle it is. You need NO sub floor liner either. Just a good solid firm flat base and your away. The great thing about it is that you can just mop it over and its stays nice and clean. Totally oil resistant too so pretty much anything will just clean up off it with ease UNLESS ITS FIRE damaged. I also bought the optional rubber skirting too which just sticks onto the wall and it has a lip on the bottom which over laps the tiles for a neat look.

OP - I bought my chair off ebay from a place in Derby called Mobility buddy and it was £199 delivered to my door. It rotates 360 degrees, vibrates and massages you if you like and has twin beer bottle holders and fully reclinable. Comes in a range of different colours too and has side pockets for your tissues/mags. LOL
