Uncle Jimmy Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Only other I have on this phone. I'm considering doing a 'Road test' comparing the Ovlov 164 with my new Benz 230E.The results would surprise many! trigger, mercrocker, danthecapriman and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xkjagnz Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 Xkjagnz has a survivalist bunker. Not really, I just have all the freezers as I have a lifestyle block (which is what kiwis call a smallholding) 4 acres, so 1 freezer for lamb, 1 for beef, 1 for chicken/geese/ducks etc, 1 for fruit and veg and 1 for beer.Heres a pic from outside (it's not raining today!)Plus I have thisthe smaller shed is for garden equipment, plus houses the pool pump and filtration and the underfloor heating gubbins, the larger shed behind (6x3m upstairs storage 4x3 downstairs) is my wood shop and houses the majority of my tools (in ramshackle shit order)Handbuilt from scratch from free plans I found online cros, DVee8, Junkman and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickman Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 After years of trying to keep cars running by lying in a very narrow street with the car balanced over the gutter with a grid ready to munch anything that wasn't actually still attached to the car my amazing wife found me a workshop. It is an old Nissen hut and is at least a little knackered. It has some access issues but it hasn't hampered me too much. No the Toledo isn't a Picasso special edition it is just the access is down a fairly steep slope. Once inside it is rather large in size: This is great until you subconsciously need to fill the space, which I have excelled at so usually any work that is carried out is with the car at the doors of the unit: Back end of the car on the slightly higher entrance bit actually made a massive difference to doing the job and helped for once. It is ace and I am so lucky (after 20 years of getting crippled lying on the curb) but it is also another thing to fix which just like my car buying ability shows it needs quite a bit! captain_70s, The Moog, egg and 17 others 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hennabm Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I currently have a 22 x 12 single with a 30ft car port in front it. It is only a sectional but is lined and insulated and carpeted throughout. Moving shortly to a 19 x 16 double (tight but doable) plus a 30ft car port. The garage will need lining and insulating. The good thing is that it is a brick built garage with a proper roof so I can floor the roof for parts storage. I also have room at the back when the conifers are taken out, to build a small workshop on the back of the garage. At the moment I have a total capacity for 5 vehicles on my property; the new one has a minimum of 7. Yippee - time to increase the fleet. Now what will it be????? mercrocker and sco14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cros Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 When I moved to my place 30 years ago there wasn't anywhere decent to fix things with 4 wheels under cover so it was done outside. Here a 4203 is ready to go into my ex military Landrover, which was used daily. It replaced an early Isuzu 2.5.The Nissan Urvan wasn't mine but I serviced it. Didn't much like it. The actual place where my toolbox lived had a big drawback in that the door was narrow. Undeterred, I built a small ugly car in it and this is how it had to come out. The windscreen tyres and seats were fitted afterwards or that would have been silly. Note wheel with wheels on it.

JayW Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Ever since moving to Cornwall 6 years ago I looked for some kind of lock up or garage or workspace, but had no luck. Even a parking space in a farmyard with limited usage ability was 50+ quid a month! That was exactly what I rented for over a year to store a dead BX. Then, mercifully i found this just 200 yards from my doorstep. It's a lot more full of tools, workbench, racking, Cinquecento and dead Hippo now but it has space for 2 cars and one outside.

Vince70 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 It's not my car in the garage honest but I let my father store his car in there so he can use his 21 year old BMW instead so both my cars just about fit in my drive behind the gates.The only problem is now was I did go and start it up every week or so but when I tried last time the battery was flat and I think it's under the seat somewhere on an A class.I've had to put a mattress up against the wall also as the doors would bash on the walls if I managed to squeeze into the car.Also I've got enough spare wheels at the back for me to start a Kwikfit.

mk2_craig Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Here is our garage, a decade old and ten by twenty feet which is ok for its era I spose. when we moved in there was tons of room around the Fiesta but now as you can see there is seven years worth of accumulated yad and I can't get any flipping work done on my car.

eddyramrod Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Garage? What garage? I wish! Can't count my council lockup, it's just for storing all the shit I brought with me from Cyprus and haven't sorted through yet. Oh and my little trailer, that I can't use because not one of my cars has a towbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
