Hey DaveB63,I spy with my little eye something beginning with C from Nottingham,and another thought, Carver Clamps from my fabing days, no pics of these.

Well spotted. I’m in the middle of restoring a 1970 mk1 chopper. Never had one as a kid,so bought this one a few years ago.Obviouslly I’ll never ride it

Following the recommendations on here for Mototile flooring and V-Tac 50W LED fittings I was inspired to tart up my garage. 25 lts of Dulux white and 1 week later this is the result:

How have you manage to de-clutter so well? :thinking: If it doesn’t move for more that a week anything the wife finds that is not of any use to her ends up piled up in the garage :roll_eyes: not to mention an Exocet a fridge, a freezer, a Mk1 Hardtop, the neighbours cat ( not I haven’t tried!! :rofl: )

after living with the yellow floor i decided it wasn’t for me .
i started looking at alternatives and decided on the floor tiles, so they were ordered tuesday , delivered thursday and fitted today (friday ) :nerd_face:

fitting is quite easy , :sunglasses:
heres a few pics ,
each tile is 500mm x 500mm (4 tiles / sq m )
my garage is 3.6m x 5.8m
the BLACK area is where the car sits :+1:

and for those saying i need to find another 5 to put in it , heres a little teaser , :partying_face:

That is really excellent. I’ve managed to get some Fosroc FC140 two pack off a pal, its old and it’s ivory but it’s free so I’ll give it a go. I would prefer tiles though. What sort of costs are we talking here? Looks expensive.

Hi Geoff, you’ve not borrowed a 5 have you, to see what it would look like on your new floor? Which looks excellent by the way! :+1::+1::+1:

Well done Geoff :+1:

Glad you’re back in a 5, as Andrew said, perfect timing, with restrictions easing somewhat, you’ll be able to use it! Look forward to seeing it in the flesh at some point. Loving the wheels, they look brand new! I do like a nice red too! :wine_glass: the car as well :smiley:

Hello, I’ve been following your Garage Update thread with interest, and now want to lay some tiles. Can you tell me what you’ve used? They look a bit different from the usual ones. Thanks in advance.
