whats hiding in your garage?

[bmwsean 11]

just a bit of fun really, when im driving around and see someones garage open with piles of stuff stacked up on top of a motor thats been there years it makes me wonder, how many hidden gems are out there!

heres mine

mk3 rs1600i been locked away for 3years by me

and the track 335i which actually gets used and abused

This.

Hongdou GY200. Heap of utter shite. Only done 180 miles since I bought it in 2006.

[bmwsean 11]

haha its surely better than this, forgot i had this until you poster that up,

[Twinspark 299]

Debatable as to which is best!

Yours looks like the ones they use in the Velodrome for the kierin.

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.

very nice collection

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.

FFS, don't encourage him

If we're going to include large bits of cars - I have a couple of Alfa 75 gearboxes in there, too.

Is that the engine from the E92. What mods have you done?

Did I mention the quad-bike?

i have these beauties in my garage

oh and this

[DanG 104]

Obviously no real cars...

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)

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:

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?

[Calm Chris 749]

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?

Hey Jack, seen your thread on Pelican.

Love the garage, and the car! Similar to my 2.8 '69 T...

[patently 4,674]

OK, I want your garage! :heart:

Chri5 - I'd be checking the 7 before & after every race

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.
