Garages...Anyone have a decked out garage they want to show off? Post some pics...

Hey Martin I thought you were Ferrari only?

 

You mean the F50?

I don't like it either.

 

The guy also like 'race horses', and has also quite a bit (and very very good ones) so he likes to put a horse and driver on EVERY car he owns (also quite a bit as you can see)
I don't like it either, but hey if he likes it, who am I, ...

 

Curious as to the type of construction you are using on your garage, is this in the USA? Unlike anything I have seen.

 

Yup, this in the good old US of A. New England to be exact. The garage was designed to match the house which was a very contemporary design 30 some odd years ago.

The lower part which forms the foundation and the three walls is reinforced concrete. The lower window walls are all fairly coventional. The roof trusses are made up of pairs of 2x8s, then it is all planked with 2x6 tongue and groove and gets roofed with conventional shingle.

Any more questions, just ask ... I'll try to post more photos as we progress. BTW, all of the construction that you see above the foundation has been done in the last six weeks by myself and my dad, yup just two of us!

Here are some pictures of my garage which I just recently finished. The U-haul boxes full of models are emptied. The cabinets are not yet arranged but at least there in place. A few more things to do like putting the flags up and maybe a few other details but I can rest. Take out the car for a drive instead of just outside for more garage work!!

Just wanted to add, the tiles are Kiwi Tile.

 

A friend of mine.. nice collection. Now he also has an Aston Martin DB7 and a few other classic F-cars in storage.

 

Another friend's collection. Aston Martin DB7, 355, 512 TR, two Hummers (the real ones), Morgan Plus 8, Jaguar E Type, two Rolls Royce Corniches, Mercedes S500, Mercedes CL600, Porsche Turbo Cabrio. (2005)

Here are a few pics from his old house. His new house has a two story garage, with four on top and four on the bottom, with alot of glass. Very, very nice!

WOW! i just looked through this whole thread. some of you own the sort of garages that i dream of. 720 those are nice 360s, though personally id take one 360 and get a 575 but hey thats my preference. do some of you live in your garages? b/c judging by the looks of some of them i know i would.

 

hope this works, first time posting a photo.... sorry about the lighting, picture taken last night. floor is Race Deck 18" tiles. 850 sq. ft. took about 4 hours... super easy.
