Just thought I'd share this, was bored at work looking for garage ideas to use when it comes to eventually cleaning up mine. Stumbled across this forum page, don't know if it's been shared on here before but enjoy....

One can only dream right??? :gimme: :gimme: :gimme:

P.s. Is it only me who could imagine loads of Minis sitting pretty in there, leaking oil all over those nice floor tiles??!!! >_<

i find practical garages better than those ones. my ideal garage would be a barn with a workshop in one corner and a 4 post lift then about 10 parking spaces to store cars, white painted walls and polished concrete floor, my tools in red snap on tool chests down the side and strip lighting everywhere. a turn table in the middle and possibly an upstairs interior balcony for lounging around. most people would consider there garage an add on to there house i would happily design a house around a garage.

a man can dream.

true, most of these look more like houses than actual garages lol I'd be too afraid to have cars leaking oil and rust over the nice flooring. Still, as works of art, they trully are beautiful garages, espescially that second from last garage, leads straight out into country roads I imagine :D

Yeah exactly, that's my first lottery purchase if I won lol. Don't really care what the house, bedrooms, garden, kitchen etc look like! The missus can sort all that, couldnt care if she had the whole house all girly, just give me a garage like those! :D I'd happily live in that with a bed and beer fridge.... sorted!

Somehow I can't imagine using a welder and grinder in any of those! Still, with that sort of money they probably have someone who does the real work out of sight of the artwork.

most of them look like the cars are just parked in the house,

I'd love a fully tooled up garage with work space and storage space

They're just garages for people who just pay for cars to look at them, they're made to be driven! >_<
