    Between 485 & 705 SQ/FT Three Single Car Garages, Thatched Cottage: an inefficient use of space!

    Nice to see a "real world" garage in amongst the amazing ones, especially one from the UK where I am (not far from you either!). I was drawn into the GJ world by Jack Olsen's 12 Gauge Garage but have been absent from here for a few years now! I will post some updates on my garage again soon but...

    I go away for a couple of weeks & BANG, 5 pages to catch up on!!! Seriously great work going on here Tom & like the others have said, thanks for the ride!!! I'm sure there's lots of ideas here for others to copy &/or modify for their own use in the future, I know I will. For now, keep living...

    Many thanks for the kind words. Perhaps just to clarify things, the engine is 1275cc bored out to 1293cc which is approx 79 cubic inches with a belt driven Marshall cabin blower supercharger, Vertex magneto & a home made fuel injection system running on methanol. It's not the fastest or...

    The site is on the Pistonheads campsite at Blue Nord & the website we booked at is 1st Tickets, http://www.1st-tickets.co.uk/ They should be announcing tickets for the Classic early next year (it takes place in 2018!) but they also do other events too. Ok, since you ask so nicely Tom, I...

    Hey Don, lovin' the updates & very envious of your space!! Have you seen this ad? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Historic-Porcelain-Sinclair-Gas-Station-Building-Not-Neon-Sign-Oil-/131876575959?roken=cUgayN As it says, no neon signs but still a great building. I would if A) I had the space B) the...

    Going back to your RA adventures, you must try to get to Le Mans for the Classic, run every two years for vintage racers only (up to I think 1983). We went (my fellow rodders & I) again this year & it was a scorcher, both in racing & temps! We stayed in a fully catered enclosed camp site next...

    When the show aired over here (not Don's shop one) their landlord called time on their lease because of complaints by other tenants & neighbours, or so they said. TBH these so-called reality shows, whether they're about cars or whatever, are just that..shows, the cars etc take a back seat as a...

    I used to work for Blackhawk over here in the UK, until the sales manager left to form Bear UK & recruited me as his first salesman, selling diagnostic equipment.

    I've finally finished reading the "Beltsville Shell", what a fascinating insight into the era. Definitely born in the wrong place (but not the wrong time!). I grew up reading Hot Rod magazine & dreamed of owning & driving all those gorgeous muscle cars & hot rods. I now own a gorgeous hot rod...

    I will certainly forward the MB (Metric Bookmark!) when I've finished reading the book. I'm also tempted to include a Whitworth one as well, although that would increase the shipping weight & I would bet that Thomas doesn't have any of that type in any of his fleet!!!:headscrat
