Garage PICS

Post by sansouci »

I've noticed a number of interesting garage arrangements:
Sofa in the garage
two cars where there is barely enough space for one
etc, etc, etc,

So howz about a forum topic dedicated to the garage - that place of frustration, satisfaction, untold expenditures, old and new parts, tools without end?

I have tons of garage pictures, each less spectacular than the last, but this one has to be my favorite.
All cars pictured except the Taurus were either mine or my roommates'.

Nice space! You would be surprised at what a little paint and re organization would do, anyone can have a "man cave". Work with what you got! I see tons of room for activities....

I was thinking of rewiring the entire car with ISIS Power. Still mulling it over...
I hate all the relays and fuses as they are getting old now.
Not cheap if your not doing it yourself...

Yikes!!! 1000s of apologies for the humongously oversized picture... thought I compressed it. Guess I'm just as bad with computers as I am with cars! :oops:

The secret to a happy marriage is a happy wife. She is also gritting her teeth to have me clean out the garage......

My Garage isn't exactly a garage right now, cars are spread all over the place. 4 at my factory, 3 at home and 1 (the shark) at a mates preparing for the big comeback after 12 yrs off the road. Here's my current collection.

<a><img src="http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/q56 ... 1gfywm.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMG_4314_zpsw01gfywm.jpg"></a>


B10 3.5 E34 Alpina & E30 John Player Special 2.7 stroker at home.

E32s, My B11 3.5 Alpina & my Slingshot seven (turbo) pictured together before I bought the Turbo

Slingshot Seven as it looks now.

Baur 2.7 Stroker (not sure what to do with this one, keep/sell)

<a><img src="http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/q56 ... utbcwz.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMG_3915_zpssputbcwz.jpg"></a>

The Shark & X5 on the day I went on a whim to look at the Shark (and of course fell in love)

<a><img src="http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/q56 ... 6noewo.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMG_4624_zpsxt6noewo.jpg"></a>

There's also an E12 528i no pics. The E12 & probably the Baur will be looking for new homes.
