    Garage will fill up more by the end of the summer when my 8C and 430S are in hand with GT-R V-Spec to follow fairly soon after that. Lots of cool new toys to look forward to

    Sorry for the lousy photos - in a big rush. Camera did not have enough battery for proper flash. Will take some better photos when I am back in HK

    Red cars are against a grey natural wall. Contrast is rather big. Garage has a very industrial feel with a lot of silver metal. It is hard to get a sense of the proportions from the photos. The one red wall is because that is a good colour to contrast with art that I like

    Aside from the minivan, very nice taste in cars. What drew you to going underground? Why not just one level, it doesn't seem like you gained any room? Garage looks great by the way!

    I thought about letting my chauffeur drive my son to toddler art class and then my maid to the wet market to buy fish in the GTO but decided not to...

    i notice many garages from people etablished in USA, they looks sometimes like room inside home..
    i would like to pay your attention about a great paint for floors and also for 2 walls, definively your garage will have
    a touch of passion, more.. a touch of class.
    weel it s my opinion, i m stupid...i forget it s yours! i m not in your head.

    If nothing else, it provides a nice piece of security. And as far as minivans go, it is a tasteful minivan he has there. ;)

    Thanks. There is no paint on the floor - only clear sealer. The garage is in a 20 year old industrial building and was used as a workshop in the past. That is why the floor has a lot of texture. I liked the look and did not want to make it look new

    Space is a workshop in an industrial building. Space was always underground as there is a hill on the road in front to the building and my garage is at the high end of the hill. The garage is about 1.5 metres underground. This makes a big difference to the temperature inside the garage so I am rather happy with this - it is much cooler during the hot Hong Kong summer. Originally there was a ramp which I removed. I built the steel platform to give me a parking space at street level for my chauffeur and van (which you commented on) as it is used regularly during the day. The lift is fantastic for sports cars - no need to worry about chin spoilers and slopes. As noted by a poster, it is also great for security as the lift can be disabled and linked to the alarm system

    Awesome display, how long did it take you to move all those cars in with one pair of hands?
