Down here in Gippsland, if you want to keep any vehicle in decent condition, even trailers, then it needs to be out of the weather all year round.

Sometimes you can be lucky enough to pick up some original BMC/Leyland signs or paraphenalia to give the exterior a lift.

Yes, but it's too tidy. I suspect a lot of inactivity! :wink:

That's because Al hasn't been allowed in there since he bought the moke .

Curly , that's brilliant , I've been searching for a 60's Gilbarco bowser for years for the garage but no luck yet . I'm always looking for the other stuff but it's very hard to get a hold of , well done .

I have finally moved out of a unit, bought a house and have started the process of getting a DA for a new garage / games room / pool. The block of land has side access and is pretty flat at the rear so the plan is to make a 25.3m long garage that is 3.5m wide.

These are the plans currently being drawn up by the architect:

Hey Jim I love the pic of Toby over at yours... haha. Such memories when you see all the cars you once had and have given away (ie Marcia as well...)

Just beware of a long thin garage Marcello , that's what mine is and things get forgotten up the end when you can't get to them easily . OK , here's a shot of mine , everything's in long term storage mode due to the munchkins arival so not tidy at the moment . Van's being turned around in the next weeek or so though so I can fit the motor :D

From the front end ,

from the far end ,
