Well, it's now become all too painfully obvious that, in order to produce an admissible entry, I'm going to have to gut the existing habitable spaces of the house and turn the entire structure into a vast garage. The good news is that the fireplace will still be centrally located, and the three vehicles that now reside in the open environment will be able to join their bretheren indoors.

Nice digs, reymondos! :thumbsup:

Don't get dragged in John, it's obviously a fake garage photo, you can tell by the way the cars are so 'casually' laid out and even the untidy things are so perfectly placed. This is a cleverly photographed 1:43 scale model and not a real garage at all! :detective:

What did you start with Ray, was it a shoe box or did you use plasticard?

Nice try, Phil. But I think this particular diorama is full scale. :cry:

Its a labour of love.

It took me three years to turn it into what it is now.

Me too, but yours looks brilliant! Whilst mine still belongs to someone else. :ouch:

And I never did own the GTI (just a 205 1.1L)

The Testarossa's got the best back of any car. Yours looks better from the front.

It looked great, I've always been a Ferrari fan. That v12 was lovely too. That wide back really made the Esprit seem small in comparison.

Love the garage transformation. what kind of crazy overhead track system do you have? I can also see on the left hand side of the "food" picture what keeps you going. Are those vodka bottles?

The place used to be a metal fabrication shop, and they used these overhead rails to unload and move around very heavy metal sheets.

The fully stocked bar is used for car-themed gatherings I arrange at my place.

There is also a fridge always filled with bottles of beer.
