Oh c'mon Amazzen...it this all ya got?? Just kidding...."impressive" is horribly innadequate to describe your shop-n-stuff.

I've spent a lot of time in Toronto and I'm thirsty as we speak for a Sleemans Cream Ale...

 

[ejm1961Tbird]

Must... have... more... cool... cars... C'mon man!!!

 

[raging bull]

WOW, amazing shop!!

 

[supazuk]

[jeffmoss26]

What an amazing shop!

 

[pontifex4]

Paul, great garage! It's funny to me how many Canadians post here during the winter, only to disappear when the weather gets warmer.

Did I interpret correctly that your small parts drawers are from Gray, or were you referring to the tool boxes?

Any ice on the rink, yet?

 

[sh_or_ty]

will you adopt me

I think the disappearing act is due to good weather or the lack of it...I know we try to avoid working in the shop on nice days (that may also have to do with the upkeep of the 100 acres we need to maintain).

Gray tool boxes...Rouseau parts drawers.

No ice in the rink this year...weather has been too mild, my son's away and I'm at a different rink 5 times a week as it is.

Charlie...You have a woodworking shop too? I guess I contemplated that some time ago, but knew I couldn't manage 2 huge hobbies. What projects do YOU have on tap?

will you adopt me

How good are your restoration skills?

Just noticed that I need to put on that octane decal on this red pump!

My how time flies when we're having fun!

 

[ejm1961Tbird]

Thanks for the fix Amazzen!

Thanks, Paul, my dad is more of a woodworker than I am, though I have made some furniture and am just about to build some cabinets for the metal shop. I do a little work on my track car (a 944 Turbo that I run at Mosport, or whatever they're about to start calling it) though, and I'm gearing my new shop up to help with that.

Ok, after lurking and the enjoyment of looking at all the amazing garages from small to large......This is worthy of my first post.

Awesome setup!!!! You are truly blessed to be able to spend time doing what you enjoy with your dad.

 

[Tjc]

More pics of the wrecker!!

 

[Lunker]

Sweet multiple garages!!!

Any pics of the covered ice rink in winter? As a hockey player that thing is bad ***

 

[blue dog]

All i can say is WOW. If your not adopting, do you have a daughter that needs to find a nice caring young man who shares all the same interests as her dad. It seems to be a bit colder where you live compared to what i am used to, but i will sacrifice for the good of all things rusty that become shinny and new in your kingdom of awesomeness.
Go ahead and pm me your address and we will start this relationship out in person, just as soon as i can get my affairs in order and sell off the 3 material things that i have acquired in my lifetime.
Can i take the batmobile to town when the weather gets a bit warmer?
If you are some kind of drug lord kingpin, please disregard the above message.

absolutely incredible kingdom you have built yourself.

 

[TOOLFREEQ]

ice skating rink really wow!!!!!!!

 

[ejm1961Tbird]

Blue dog - I laughed out loud!!! I think you did a great job saying what most of us who read this thread think!!!

 

[emeraldcoupe]

holy ****! that's all i can say

 

[Nighttrain]

The nevr-nox globe is really cool. Can't say I have ever seen that one before. I am still hoping to come across my first globe at a garage sale.

 

[Scuderia-F1]

I´m TOTALY out of words after reading this thread.
PLEASE keep the pics coming....

Why are some trying to pull this OP down are diminish him? If he is a crook and boasting on a public forum his days are numbered. It is obvious he is sucessful and not stupid.
I say He is living the life that all should aspire to. It is the American Dream to work hard, smart and be Blessed enough to get ahead.
Thanks for sharing your great collection, please keep sharing!

Really, are we reading the same thread ? Seems to me that everyone here is in awe over the OP's spread, and the praise he is receiving seems to be filled with generous comments.

You are right most are great guys with great posts, some just have to throw a dig in there.

Apparently you do not get out much and have no clue what humor is. While living in your bubble, may i suggest you watch a few movies that may put a smile on your face, try Raising arizona, any Monte python movie, Best in show, Oh, The Jerk, that is a good old funny movie and seems very fitting at this time. It won't hurt. Or, you can just continue to kick kittens and bunnies, your choice, life is way to short to take everything so serious.
I say good day to you Sir.

 

[Shoottx]

This is too cool a thread in which to start a food fight. While I enjoyed the humor, and understood it was a compliment. Not everyone understands nor appreciate my sense of humor. While I understand the humor, it may not always be taken as such. So instead of this misunderstanding devolving into a food fight lets stop now. So just kiss and make up so we can see what else is in this awesome facility.

I am much more of a lurker than commenter on this site, but I gotta say this is a truly amazing shop facility, with great restorations and toys. My hat is off to you sir!

Having your own ice rink, while it is an great structure, is not something I have ever thought of nor lusted after. The weather conditions require it be cold enough for ice. Just not for me, my blood is way too thin.

Again congrats on a great facility (it is just to big and complex to be called just a shop)!

Mike

 

[ridestreet]

wow oh wow, i have a new hero in my life. that is an incredible compound

Fair enough, my lack of recongnition of your satire is on me. Please accept my apologies.
All of this class warfare nonsense is a soft spot with me.
May your day go equally as well Sir.

 

[Winneratalosinggame]

Very Impressive shop and car collection you have there sir!!

I look forward to future updates on this posting. I am Very Jealous and have now upgraded my to do list.

 

[Woogeroo]

Thanks for sharing the photos, what a really neat and well laid out shop.

-W

p.s. I like the green Charger and the Daytona.

 

[Amazzen]

Thanks for the comps boys!

You've all been great....

As far as the fireworks I just missed ... I never read it in a negative way to begin with (obviously the way it was meant to be conveyed) or I would be the first to lash back, LOL.

Although misinterpreted, its nice to see people standing up for fellow members at the first hint of disrespect, thank you.

And for the record, sacastic emails/posts are often misunderstood (especially when you don't add any smilies to confirm the intent!).

Glad it got worked out....we're good, right?!? (where's that "rhetorical question" smiley.....

)

Thanks again.

 

[Outlander]

Trying to pick a favorite...........Zamboni was ahead until I saw the Batmobile. I am a true product of the sixties. The Batmobile wins!

Nice job on the restorations. You have skills that I only dream of.

We are all good, i sent mws a pm, I meant no disrespect and am glad you did not read it that way. Sometimes the garagejournal needs a bit of humor, and i am quick to give it.
Anyway, peace to everyone.
Amazzen, beautiful property, i know it has been in the works for some time, and your choices have all been well thought out, what a wonderful place to call home. I commend you.

 

[Kevin54]

Amazzen.....in the first pic, is that another Coke machine around the corner. I'm assuming it's not a mirror on the side.

Where did that Batmobile come from or by that I mean what is it? Is it some kind of kiddie ride that you see in front of stores or some kind of Fair ride?

 

[Scuderia-F1]

I think we need some more pics of that Daytona AND everything else that you have!

I´ve gone through this thread AT LEAST 7 times, and i can´t get enough of this goodness.

 

[mebedave]

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is it possible to be straight (real straight)and have a man crush ?


IF SO I have a man crush on Amazzen.... My hats off to you man thanks for sharing and making us envious

Thanks, Batmobile has always been my favorite car in the world!

Thanks Blue Dog, hard work has its priviledges (if it doesn't kill you of course).

Correct...its an original Vendo 44 and unrestored. Batmobile was indeed a "kiddie ride" (I have the coin box, but no motorized stand). They made similar bodies with different Super Heroes sitting inside as shown on the key box.

OKAY....they're not ALL Super Heroes...but ya know what I mean...

I think we need some more pics of that Daytona AND everything else that you have!

I´ve gone through this thread AT LEAST 7 times, and i can´t get enough of this goodness.

Thanks, I'll try back track with more detail of things as soon as I can..... I want to read some of the other threads too.

I'm flattered.....and I too, mean that in a really straight way!!!

 

[Amazzen]

The show must go on.....

Back to Garage building! I've been working on cleaning up that open rack space (not by moving the parts above, but adding sliding doors)...

Here are some of the doors we're building...

They will be fitted with rollers and siding material on the front faces.

I'm hoping it will really spruce up the place while keeping my "awkward/messy parts" at hand.

And I'll need to label these door fronts (for contents) somehow as well. Pretty soon, I'm going to need an inventory program just for all these darn labels!

 

[atotalnincompoop]

and below is our covered Arena! (64 x 120)

how friggen cool is that!!

 

[atotalnincompoop]

how friggen cool is that!!

when you have time it would be nice to see your memorabilia showroom, i caught a glimpse of a big boy statue beside your phone booth, reminds me of the time my girlfriend caught me bidding on an 8' big boy out of california on ebay, i thought it would be cool as a lawn ornament, she didn't!! i didn't get it

 

[bluesman2a]

I'm flattered.....and I too, mean that in a really straight way!!!

Word on the street is that it's not gay, as long as you punch them after...

 

[madmikeee]

yeah, that surely does NOT ****.

I could only wish for HALF that. Congrats man, that is one helluva dream come true.
