this is the best picture ive got of ours. would be nice to have a bit more space (you always want more lol)... still, as you can see, 3 cars will fit but its a squeeze

Chris1992 - I don't know what it is, but I love pictures of minis with no lights, grill and bonnet. I don't know what it is. A nice collection in your garage. I'd swap the middle one for another Mini personally but nice.

"the blue car" I think the lancia deserves more appreciation! I'll have it?

[BlueIn2Red]

Thanks for the offer but I'll hang on to it!

cant blame a guy for trying! I almost bought myself a non Evo' inter a few months back, lack of storage space put a holt on that one

This is my garage. Nothing special at all, but its with the house, and it has lighting and power so a huge improvement on anything I have had before. Its also fairly clean now I have cleaned out all the cobwebs. In doing so, amongst many others, I found these two lurking in the corner:

 

 

Safely removed now and all good to go. As I am only renting, I can't really do anything like I would really like to with the garage. However, I did acquire an Ace Cafe poster from Beaulieu and I also got one of the cards that Mike had on his stand at the same show, and it just so happens to be the picture of John Cooper and a GP so that will go up on the wall. Over time, I am hoping to get a few old bits and pieces to display on the wall. 

 

I'm still planning a proper garage for when I have my own place.

Was really tired of how dull and uninspiring my garage was, But I dint want to send tons on vintage signs etc. 

 

So set myself a challenge to make it a nicer place to be on a budget. I have collected stuff from flee markets for a while, I also repurposed some lamps and a tacky wall clock into what I think are pretty nice lamps (Castrol, AA and Monte Carlo)

Nice use of the wooden boxes on the wall for things like the charger etc.

MSB, great job on turning your garage into that. All it takes is a bit of work and creativity and you can turn it into a really nice space. Like it a lot.

 

Noticed what mine used to look like as well! It's nothing like that anymore but I wish it was. Three and a half years later, I have a daughter, and a wife who insists load ofrubbish goes in there out the way that we just don't need and worst of all, that mini is in bits   Unfortunately we were away all over Xmas so didn't have chance to do anything with it but it is on the list of stuff to sort out.

Im very jealous of you all...

I started with a big shed behind the garage but have been forced to "make the garden kid safe" so have had to knock it down as it was not in a decent state to be honest so now everything is in the garage...





It will be ok when i get to build my shed this year hopefully 36 x 10 foot, on a side note anyone wanting around 80 tonnes of top soil with a touch of hardcore mixed in hit me up...
