I mentioned a couple of posts (and almost one month) ago that I was wanting to do some reorganization of the garage. The biggest part of that is building a new storage cabinet for holding my car detailing chemicals and tools. As I’ve gotten more into car detailing the amount of this stuff...

In addition to cleaning the floor and refinishing my worktop I need to do some spring cleaning to my workbench drawers. A couple of years ago I purchase a nearly complete set of Sonic mechanics tools in Sonic foam inlays. I have a number of drawer from them that look like this. And this...

Another project. Years ago I made my own countertops for my garage workbench. I used hard maple as I had some of it left over from when I built the Roubo workbench in my basement. Wood isn’t going to stand up to hard use but I really like it. It just feels warmer to me. After Few years of...

My garage is in desperate need of a good spring cleaning. Today’s high of 86 degrees tells me that I don’t have a lot of spring left. It will be full on summer soon so I better get at it. The first project is to clean my floors. I put down Swiss Trac plastic tile flooring four or five...

I did the same thing in my basement. Very fun. See below

That’s a fun collection! Do they all work? Do you have cassette tapes?

Zanyad, I bought them online. Fanta or something like that was the vendor. Thanks Horror. For Legos these things are huge.

I thought I’d follow up on a wholly finished project (for once). Four completed and now wall mounted Lego cars. These are hanging in the hall outside my basement hime theater.

I finished the Bugatti today. Here it is with the other three cars of this size. There was also a Porsche 911 too but it’s no longer available. Rumor is that Lego is going to come out with another car in this same scale this year. No confirmation of what car that will be but I’m sure we...

Also, the McLaren is finished. Here it is with the Ferrari and Lamborghini. There is also a lego Bugatti made in this scale. My son has started working in that.

Uofime, Funny you mention the fuel lines. I actually bought these a couple of weeks go. That said they are the cheap stuff from Amazon. Also, thanks for the info on the scooter licenses in Chicago. I’ll look into that.

A fun piece of Americana. My wife and I often see one street parked on our morning walks.

After a few weeks of really tough winter weather in Chicago this weekend was a beautiful break in the cold. It was almost 60 degrees. So I decided to get Mary Kay out of storage. It’s been in a classic car storage facility about two miles away. I drove the 911 over there and Mary Kay is...

As expected I finished the Lamborghini today. Here it is with the Ferrari that my son and I did before Christmas. He is about half way done with a McLaren in the same scale. We have a Bugatti too that we will get to at some point .

It could live inside unless it has to share space with Mary Kay. i could fit the scooter and any two of my other three cars just fine. But not the Cadillac.

Also, The Lamborghini is almost done. Should finish it up tomorrow or Sunday.

I believe that an LX50 (the next engine size down from mine) does not require a motorcycle license but the LX150s like mine (and the larger ones) do. I don’t have a motorcycle license so getting one is something I’d need to do I guess. All scoters need to be licensed and registered. I’ve...

Free Vespa Success! Well, mostly. For those just joining this thread I got this Vespa for free from a guy that I didn’t know after an early morning conversation at a coffee shop. It sat in my backyard for more than a year but last fall I started to trying to get it run run last fall. I...

David. I think you change cars nearly as often as I change my underwear. I hate buying and selling cars. I can’t imagine the work it takes to cycle thru cars that often. That said I’m looking forward to see what you’ve bought (and sold, and bought and sold and bought…..).

My son and I spent some time this weekend working on our Lego’s. Here is the current status of the Lamborghini. I expect that I’ll be finished in a weekend or two.
