What are you hoarding in your garage?
Discussion
Okay, so I decided to make a positive move at the weekend to clear out some of the junk I have been hoarding for the last few years.. after 2 hours of shifting stuff around, sweeping up, drinking coffee and playing with the things I found, I hadn't made any headway and decided I need everything in my garage.
Some of the stuff I found :
2 x Sets of alloys (BMW & RX7)
1 x Front bumper (Mazda RX7)
1 x Ford Escort RS Cosworth (radio controlled)
1 x Browning 9mm (BB Gun & pellets)
50 x various golf balls (some Pro V1s in there too)
1 x My papas old tool box - some very interesting old stuff (balls of string, fuse wire, tiny screwdrivers etc.)
54 x Spiders of assorted sizes and colours
14 x Dead spiders executed by aforementioned BB Gun.
2 x Rear spoilers (BGWs)
2 x Racing helmets ('borrowed' from Knockhill-now spider house)
1 x Autoglym book on all there products & how to use them.
1 x Pair of old golf shoes with a £1 coin inside (bonus)
1 x Webley air rifle & telescopic sight
2 x David Coulthard signed photos (1998)
2 x Sabelt Racing harnesses
1 x Mazda RX7 (in yellow)
Just wondered what interesting things you have hiding in your garage?

I know 100% whats in my garage.
A few of the unusal things:
Rover 3.5 V8 block and crank (never owned a car which this fitted)
A brick from the Aston Martin factory at newport pagnall. With the green paint, I reckon its from the Gents toilets
lots of wood. You cant have too much wood stored in a garage
a large all in one car coccon type tarpaulin, tied together with "twin and earth" cable as I didnt have any string handy
My le mans fridge
The steering wheel collection is now in the loft

Car wise not a lot as I'm in the process of having a massive clear out and clean up. I've sold just about everything that's worth more than 100 quid now, skipped most of the rest.
I'm in the process of shifting to a new unit so I'm using the garage as a holding pen for my crap until it's fitted out and stuff.
3 motorbikes
2x 1M³ drop sacks of logs
1 pallet of Mountain Dew from the US
1 pallet of other canned drinks from the US
1 pallet of various chocolates and candies from the US
Shed loads of office furniture
half a van load of plasterboard
a bathroom and a kitchenette(in flat pack form)
about a tonne of cardboard and enough pallet wrap to cover the earth

Some of the things in there that the previous owner left for me.
A hose reel on wheels, that leaks like crazy if you use it.
A bayonet.
A 20kg bag of cement.
3 electric drills - all work, but one only works on hammer setting.
Various greases, paints, oils.
1980's hifi.
2 ghetto blaster radio/CD players.
An armchair.
Various tins, jars and storage trays.
A steering lock with no key.
An ice-hockey helmet.
Extension leads. (Together with my own I must have enough electrical cable to run the length of 2 football pitches. Easily !!).
Allsorts of other bits and pieces of junk.

What's your hobby? lol
Not strictly my garage but these are the bits that belong to me in there.
Porsche 944 in a half complete state
Spare set of 944 wheels
Freezer
Passat front lower bumper + grille
A few Escort bits including an MDF parcel shelf that nobody wants
An array of crap car cleaning stuff that I either don't use any more or is empty enough to not care about but will use on odd jobs/parent's cars
There's probably more crap tucked away in there as it's a huge garage. Outside it is a complete but broken 944S.
