Nice work daniel, coming on nicely now

Once you have light in there and painted up it should look pretty massive.

Nice garage whitter, but iirc so is the rest of the house

I've recently done more work to my garage, started off as a single in the basement but is now a 3 car garage underneath the whole house.

Probably just the pic that makes it look smaller than what it actually is.

Just because it looks fine doesnt mean it will be

Looks really nice that Ed. I keep meaning to get big posters for mine but looking at a picture of a porsche on the wall would only depress me when the real car isnt one

Those pics are about a year old now - the posters gave me something to aim for car wise

It is nice having a space to mess around with cars though, living on a farm has it's advantages.

I noticed the door and outside view, guessed you lived on a farm

i would love to have so much land like that and just build the biggest garage ever lol.

I might get some posters of cheaper cars so i might not feel as bad then!

A few years ago i went to a few bmw and vauxhall dealerships to see what i could nick

Think this time round il go in and ask nicely, il wait until the next one is waiting to be closed down.

built this, then sold the house about 6 months later :S

Will build a slightly wider copy at this house in the next 2 years or so hopefully. It currently has a 1.5sized garage that is an utterly stupid design.
