I bet you leave the loo seat up as well...

I bet you leave the loo seat up as well...

I do, but only to prevent it getting splashed with Gunk when I'm rinsing off oily motorbike parts.

 

[Garfields]

Innit strange how many people have garages yet don't put a car /s bike/s in them.

A damp garage is a car killer
Like motorhomes lots of ventilation is best
Or go the other way and seal and heat
Putting a wet salt covered car in a garage will do more harm than good
That's what I tell Mrs G anyway

That's what the dishwasher is for

 

[Spriddler]

You jest?
That's my next job as it won't empty. I think the pump's jammed with sludge and bits of gasket.

My place of respite..

 

[autoswan]

In the process of having a clear out, nearly a truck load to tip off at recycling center.

 

[Grumpy Bear]

Haven't seen one garage or shed with the most important item in it. Got to be a kettle tea bags and milk only then a true man cave.

To have a kettle would need a water supply , , so nah I just pop in the house, no one enters mine unless I'm singing or whistling , then I'm happy otherwise enter at your peril!!!!

 

[Supaimpy]

Can I what your plans are for the Imp? Its a shame really - on paper they should have been good, they just weren't. I saw a program on TV where they were converting a Lanci Fulvia to Electric, and they were considering where to put the batteries to get the weight distribution right and I thought of an Imp, if ever a car needed a reliable powerplant and some weight moving around that's it and could be a real giant killer if you got it right, probably ruinously expensive though.

The Imp will be getting either just a sport spec 875 or if I can find the funds a 998 . Already on Monte Carlo lowering springs and a few other mods, such as front discs, sport driveshafts etc , I successfully Hill- climbed and Sprinted one years ago with only one DNF , not due to reliability of the car , but the driver got too brave!

 

[Neckender]

How about one of these for your garage.

I have just a bottle opener in mine...

same here with a well stocked fridge.

 

[Garfields]

I did think about extending the garage at one point
I could have then collected even more stuff, junk , rubbish ( delete as appropriate)
It was going to cost a few thousand to store stuff worth a few hundred at best

No picture of my garage, as it’s not worth it.

But I have spent half they day cutting a wide (10mm) slot across the floor to allow the water out that gathers at the back of the garage, once it has poured in from the rear wall

I remember seeing - and hearing- one for the first time. The 180 crank gave it a distinctive beat!

I've had it for a year and its never been quite right - idling too fast but only when its warm. I've been told I need to polish up the sliders in the top but havent got around to doing it yet

I can remember in the late 60,s competing at firle hill climb in east sussex and was a fiat not sure if it was 500 or 600 with a 1650 lotus twin cam in rear the only problem seemed to be get off the line without breaking drive shaft when he did it was like sxxx of a shovel. Something my lotus Cortina could only dream about.

[DerryW]

Bit of a mess. Intending to have a bit of a clear out when weather improves. Need to have a clear out of the garden shed first so I can get the mowers in.

 

[Neckender]

A bit more done today.
