There is a bit of everything in my garage; and despite its appearance it is a working garage full of tools and is regularly used for servicing and repairs of my 3 cars.
Its a mix of car tools, detailing products, Tamiya remote control vehicles (Actros, MX-5, Lunchbox etc), car models, Lego, cycling and also houses my network rack with my server and a garage PC in it (used for youtube videos and tutorials etc when working on cars)
Not to mention it also houses one of the most upgraded turbo-charged MK4s in the country ![]()
Our other cars:
2019 Seat Leon FR Black Edition ST (Estate)
2018 Seat Ibiza FR
Now that is what I would call a perfect garage.
Including all the Robinsons! How long is that massive stash lasting you? ![]()
I want a black and red floor now!
Several months, I buy in bulk as Costco for us is a 60 mile around trip.
It was going to be black and grey but I bought the MX-5 the week before the floor and it seemed rude to not change it!
Dad has been a consumate horder at this property since 1980, took me three months of Sundays to clear this space 66 inches wide by 155 inches long a couple of years ago.
Just big enough for Madge.
Had hoped to take on a refurbishment of her suspension, but my age and the available space convinced me to take her to the professionals Steve and Ali at MX-5 Restorations in Ilkeston.
Last week I managed to take 15 interior and exterior doors that had been leaning on the garage walls for 30 odd years down to the tip with John the gardener. A tip inspector only woke up to what we had done after we had unloaded the last of them. He claimed residents were only allowed to take 3 doors a day ! Fortunately he was kind enough to not request us to take 12 doors back home which would have been 3 car loads ![]()
