Hello from Sunny Seattle (ha!)

[tig]

Discovered this forum while looking for info on lifts. Glad I found it!

My current rides:

The Garage Queen: 1988 Porsche 911 Coupe, Venetian Blue

The Project: "Uglina" 1978 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser, Mustard Yellow
(See my "fix-up thread" on IH8MUD here)

The "makes me drive like a hooligan" daily driver: 2010 AMG C63, Palladium Silver

And, of course, the man-cave:

Welcome to the forum! Glad to see another local on here too. I love your 911 and the FJ. The cabinet setup is pretty slick as well. Where did you get them?

They are from Bald Head Cabinets: http://www.baldheadcabinets.com/

My wife bought them for me for my 40th birthday.

Welcome. Sweet rides and set up. The LC is in awesome shape: no Uglina there! All stock?

"Uglina" is the name my (at the time) 12 yr old daughter gave her. I don't think she's ugly (the truck or my daughter <g>).

She's mostly stock. The Old Man EMU suspension is really the only non-factory component.

Wow, my doppelganger...we both have 911's, FJ40's, similar garages and drives...I loved the C63 but needed AWD so got a Wrx for daily duties. Dont also have an LR4 do you?

Hey tig, welcome to the GJ. Very nice space you have and great rides. Your daughter has a good sense of humor and the name reminds me of one my granddaughter would come up with for the car.

I traded my LR3 in for the C63. LOL.

BTW, with winter/snow tires on the C63 it does just fine on the ice/snow...

Welcome and I love that FJ. I'm down at Ft. Lewis, so now I know who to call when I need a garage to work out of.

It'd be great to see a thread in the Garage Gallery on your garage. Those cabinets look great.

I will do so... Today I will be transporting my "new" lift on a tow-truck on a ferry to my home (like a frog on a bump on a log).

I plan on taking a lot of pictures...
