What you need to do is tape down a small piece of wood, the width of your MINI for your wife to drive up to, then she can't miss. Or you could be really irritating and suspend a tennis ball from the ceiling, that comes to rest excactly on the windshield where you want your MINI stopped, you could even post a message on the ball, like "Don't slam the doors" :cornut:

Well Id say a bunch of you are very lucky or you dont have a yard to take care of lol.
I really wish I could have a garage that clean!
Nice work! -
My side of the garage is usually pretty clean, but the rest of it is out of my hands. I'll have to get a photo of it. It is a neat set up with cupboards, drawers, and a counter. However, we are going to be moving soon and we cannot take it all with us (moving to the current house, we had taken all our garage drawers and cupboards with us.) -
Our garage does have a tennis ball hanging from the ceiling joist. It works GREAT!!!

Man, y'all got it good on the garage front... Ours is freaking tiny. If I had anything BUT the MINI, it would not fit! My wife has an Escape and you have to pay attention while parking otherwise you fold a mirror. If it was a full sized truck it would be outside. Less than a foot outside either side of the doors and only about 6" from the mirrors to the door frames. MINI has more breathing room, but still tight. Ridiculous.
Just reorganized (Got a new fridge, so I get the old one! Woohoo!) and hung some new fluorescents and it is like an O.R. in there now. Next step is to get a storage shed for all the yard crap... and cabinets and countertops for workbench. Hate having all that crap out on shelves. -
What you can't see is the FORZA FERRARI flag I got back at the Phoenix GP... It is on the wall where the door is I am shooting through.

I have had a shed (Lowes) outside for all the yard and pool stuff for years. Don't know what I'd do without it. The cabinets (OSH) make all the difference in the world when you can close the doors on the contents. This is my first fully detailed garage, ever. It took some time and extra bucks, but it was all worth the investment.

This isn't MY garage, but it was built to my specs for ME to work in, lol. It belongs to one of my clients who originally went to buy a JCW but didn't fall in love with it, and instead went home with this M6. I've been maintaining this car since he bought it in 2007, he used to drive 50 miles to bring it to me, eventually he decided to build a special garage for it to lure me over to his house instead. How could I resist? It was truly an amazing experience.
What kind of products will you find in the Ultimate Garage? Prima of course.

That car isn't mine, but belongs to a fellow club member. I doubt he'll ever sell it, he's having way too much fun with it!
It was built from a shell by Mini Tec, and has a D series Vtec in it, he's had it for about 4 years and every time he drives it he gets the giggles!
This thread has a video of our track day at Heartland Park last Wed, Don ran a bunch of laps right in front of me if you'd like to see it go.

I think that's the truck I just sent the owner a message about. Didn't realize it was a V-tech. Awesome!
