Default Garages

G'day All,

I am just curious to know what type of garages you guys keep your much beloved GTs or your other pride & joys in. Whether you have a specially built garage purely just for your car, plastered, air conditioned with memoribilia on the walls etc. It interests me to know the the standards of some of the garages out there given the prices of some of the cars now.

Sorry if i have put this in the wrong section..

Cheers, MR HO

Just a normal everyday garage with big locks on the doors and a savage dog guarding it

A secret one...
But there will be alot of people not in such a sharing mood as me about where they keep $100,000+ cars.

Though not the type of GT you are asking about, I keep mine locked up in a garage with lots of prints on the wall, a jukebox, a bar, a pool table, chequered lino on the floor, a plasma and a pinball machine.

my old man and i built our shed and have added over the years nearly every piece of fpv, sbr, sbt, fpr memorabilia from over the years we have a fully stocked bar pool table big plasma and plenty of drinking couches, it's our home away from home where we can escape the women of the house and have fun whilst doing it.

we have a second garage right next to it chocabloc full of cars, car parts and every tool imaginable which is out workshop.

Ive just put up a "fair dinkum shed" 6 X 7.5 and its brilliant, solid as a rock and well put together. Just painted the concrete floor and I love it. Got a lot of work to do in regards to plaster and memorabilia etc.

Yeah my mate was looking at one of these Fair dinkum sheds for his cars. They do look well built & once insulated & plaster is up it would be fantastic.
