Hello! :P

We're thinking about building a nice spanking new garage ... :gimme:

After seeing this in a post by MaxandPaddy - It's sent my mind wandering .. :whistling:

So - show me your garages - inside and out ... to give me some inspiration! :w00t:


Obviously, subject to stupid planning permissions - but I reckon we've got 25ft wide x 16ft depth :ermm: :shifty:

(Ideally 2 storey, too :whistling:)

what you need in your garage is central heating or a fire place with small stove, and lots of lovely insulation. there is nothing worse than working on a fiddly mini in the cold.

Here's dads workshop pics were taking a couple of years ago when we were rebuilding Wilf. The ramp is a luxury I'd never do without anymore, so much use when we're doing maintenance on the lightning rod and stock car. :)
