I am a car nut. There, said it, done.
Now thats out the way, let me fill in some background. I've been itching for some proper tinker space for ages. At the moment, i have nearly 5 cars (more on the "nearly" later) and i have always struggled with the space needed to feed my mechanical habit.
A few years ago, i chipped in with a friend and rented a double unit in Glasgow...
With one car each it (and mine being the larger one) it didnt take long for the clutter to accumulate. After a couple of years, the space is not (for me) little more than storage. Oh, and thats the first car on the list... Number 1: Chevy Camaro
Move on a few years, and i've bought a house 150 miles away from the rented garage. Still paying for it, and its doing nothing more than keeping the Camaro dry. That said, the house came with some fringe benefits...
A driveway and a lean-to garage. Only a single but definitely a step up! Oh, and meet car 2: MK1 MR2, with its ganky winter wheels on. It normally looks like this:
Anyway, inside this little single car hovel:
...its cramped. Realistically, i cant fit a car in, so i bought half a car to fill it. Meet car 3: The Locost 7
Its a long term kit build, and for those who dont know, it will look something like this when its finished:
So i essentially have no space for storing and working on my fleet. Well, no covered space. I do, however, have a monster garden...
About 45 foot by 120 foot of property space. This pic is the end of the garden, and to my left is a LPG tank. This will be a consideration, but only a mild one.
A bit of research later, and today i put down the deposit on a 28' by 24' prefab concrete garage.
Having moved to the sticks, and making sure my new house had lots of land, i have now reach the point where the man cave can be built.
