The garage took two years for me to build and was a very steep learning curve with all the researching and trying to get my head round how to bring it all together. It's now been up for almost 12 years and not a single snag so I must have done something right.

Is there any car you miss, apart from a sportscar perhaps ? It looks like you are a passionate collector and very impressed by your immaculate setup and OT your car, it looks like it just came out of the showroom ! I really like the colour of yours, have not seen that often ......
