Andy_Bangle Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) A 2011 A4 allroad which hasn't been driven since March Along with the JCW which gets driven on sunny days and the Range Rover which gets driven on wet days. There's also the Arctic Cat ski doo, the snow blower & ride-on tractor but they're not so photogenic.

theduisbergkid Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Good thread, Sean. No pics from me, but I've a stack of knackered bikes, a Kayak, about 10 tyres on various rims, a rotten MX-5, sometimes a BMW 330ci, sometimes the family bus, and sometimes something I've blagged and daren't leave in the street, a table football table, an unused rowing machine, the corpse of a sedated weathergirl in a roll of carpet I forgot about, a copy of Asian Babes, a gearbox, er, and that's about it. Oh, and some cones. I like cones. I've stolen quite a few of them for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinspark Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 If we're going to include large bits of cars - I have a couple of Alfa 75 gearboxes in there, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patently Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 My garage? A worryingly large box of spare bits left over after building the Caterham. Several dead mice. 3 carriage lamps from B&Q, still in the boxes, which I haven't quite got round to fitting in about a year or so The hardtop for a 911 which I put in the corner 7 years ago and haven't touched since (it's just struck me that might be where the mice are living...) 3 sledges, one of which works (or would, if we had snow) 3 spare Caterham race seats. Oh, and a 996, a Caterham 7, and 5 bikes (various) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Olsen Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) My two-car garage cleans up pretty nicely -- so there's no room to hide much of anything. Only one car fits. But there is something mechanical, electrical and hydraulic hiding under the car: Jack Olsen 1973 Porsche 911 with a 3.6l motor Edited September 10, 2012 by Mook External link removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Chris Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Ferrari 430 spider[ATTACH]46852[/ATTACH] More fool you for letting her park it (even if it was you, but we won't tell the insurance company). More seriously, nice thread- I don't have a garage I have 3 sheds, 2 bbq's, five old bikes, a double pedestal table, 5 years of accounts for 100+firms, assorted garden tools, a punch bag, some cast iron weights, and all the stuff you should have thrown out after a project, but haven't. I am jealous, Luke how much for the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Chris Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Why? I accept the clever engineering for the lift, but that could have bought you a bigger garage or more cars. Nice car, but is there any real need to look at its belly more than twice a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Jack Olsen 1973 Porsche 911 with a 3.6l motor Hey Jack, seen your thread on Pelican. Love the garage, and the car! Similar to my 2.8 '69 T... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accept the clever engineering for the lift, but that could have bought you a bigger garage or more cars.Nice car, but is there any real need to look at its belly more than twice a year? If you like tinkering, then a hydraulic lift is a godsend - not only can you get under it, but it also makes wheel changes / brake changes really easy and brings the engine up to a height where it's comfortable to work on it.
