Bloody european garages are pathetic, eh? I live in large town / small city quite near the centre and rent a garage and they are silly small!

There are bigger mailboxes than this in Texas! :)

That's "letterboxes" to you Brits.

Cheers!

Garages like that are about $1,000 a month to rent in central London.

I pay about $120 a month in Bath. And that's cheap for where it is. :(

88 Mondial 3.2, 1 of 810 cabriolets produced by Ferrari world wide.
The best and only mid engine 4 seater ever produced. :)
It took me 2 months to do a full major service in my garage, but figured it all out.
She drives beautifully and can be a daily driver -np.

Cheers

Did someone say 'garage?' :)

If you guys can look past the coupe that's parked in it, I've got a garage that -- like with many of the ones in this thread -- is NOT enormous. But with a little thought and effort, you can fit a lot of DIY-ability into a small garage. (Especially if you can put your other cars somewhere else.) I do automotive work in it, and also some carpentry and metal fabrication.

I did all the work myself, including setting the tile and digging the pit for the lift. The total budget, including the floor, cabinets, benches and lift was less than $3,500. Everything in the place is second-hand, re-purposed or home-made.

Work benches that fold down from the wall:

I also made a website for the place: The 12-Gauge Garage (I promise you, this is not spam. I don't make any money off of the website and pay for it out of my own pocket.)

A website named Petrolicious made a video about the garage and my car:

One Car To Do It All

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

My Garage Lift

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. :mad:

Jack,

Would you kindly take a dustpan and brush to that garage. It's a mess !
