Most liked posts in thread: Show me your garage

Here's mine-

 

I had this thought that there ought'a be a showcase for our personal garages and intended to start one, when what-do-ya-know... here's the thread - albeit dead... So, in an effort to ressurect this great idea, here's a few picks of our garage.

Enjoy and show us all some more! :beer opcorn:

 

No garage should have its own website, but I recently made one for mine:

The 12-Gauge Garage

Here are some more pictures of my two-car garage. There's no Mini in it (although I've rented them for track days), but I thought you guys might enjoy it. I did all the work myself, including setting the tile and digging the pit for the lift. I started it during the Writers Guild strike in 2007 and only recently have started calling it 'finished.'















Work benches that fold down from the wall:







And it's got its own a video:

And yes, a video just about the lift I put in:

Is it always this clean? No. Not by a long shot.



But it does go back to clean very quickly -- that's the real accomplishment of it, I think. I finally took the time to work out a place for everything to go when It's not being used.

In practice, it makes a huge difference not having to spend so much time looking for things you've misplaced. I spent years doing that.

 

NOTHING like the one above, but it is a "Free Range" garage after all. :lol:

Mine gets used quite a bit.....but the rest of the time it looks pretty much like this, with my wife's Audi in the left side...

 

The Old Dover Garage & art studio.

 

Ok, but what's on the side that's closed? :ihih:

 

Warning!!! Old Fart content.....

I don't mind living in our condo at all Jason. Went from a 110 year old house that always had something to repair into a 6 year old condo that someone else repairs. Pretty sweet deal for Babs & I. The only thing I miss is the shop space, but what we have is very workable.

After going through moving our parents who would not move when the time was right for them, we decided to do it while we could make the decisions for ourselves.

We are both very happy here in the old fart home. :goaljnky

 

In the beginning, it was this-My beloved R53 El Kabong and Hubby's truck.





Then El Kabong was murdered and the truck moved out, and we have this-
My R56 S Mozart and hubby's Countryman S, Wulfric.



Hopefully by this time next week I will be posting the new additions. Ship just docked with hubby's R55 S and my R56 S on board!

 

Mine had open shelves all around getting "most" of them out and replaced with cabinets made a huge difference, just don't open the door on the right....:smilewinkgrin:

 

Nothing better than a blank pallet to start with!

 

Geez. These garages make mine look like an episode of hoarders.

 

So my son showed me how to use the panorama feature on my 4s one morning, a couple months ago. Little did my wife know, she got busted counting cars.... I've warned her before.
The black car now resides in SoCal.

 

Too many MINIs; too little time. Love your place!

 

My neighbors wood shop. I lost my big shop when we moved into our condo. Having small cars makes the garage seem larger.

 

Sorry Crashton but you seem to be holding up admirably.

:cornut: It's happening to us pretty soon. Margi's(Lady Margi not MINI Margi) plan is to sell the big house and move into one side of our duplex. Life goes on.

Jason

 

:cornut: That's our plan exactly. Thanks Crashton

Jason

 

That's a good plan Jason. Best to think ahead.

 

It's sooo clean!

Mine's a shithole and it's all car stuff.
