Show us your man cave (shed / garage / workshop / w.e.)

[Toms306]

As the garage was unusable due to being full of rubbish, I've taken over and claimed the front half of it now. Wish I had somewhere big enough to work on the car though, sloping gravel driveway sucks! Note the precariously balanced boxes everywhere haha.



I keep tools locked elsewhere though.

[ally406]

I bought this man cave a couple of years back and paying it off over 25 years, it also happened to come with a nice house which is handy for when you need to sleep.

[Poodle]

That's a pretty awesome man cave, desk and all! Need to tidy mine up, it's got a tad out of hand again. Can't promise i'll take a picture though lol.

[DeeTurbo]

How it use to look.


Then painted it, boarded the ceiling and insulated best I could.


Stuck another bench in.


Other wall.






And now, it's in a mess and I can't move in there because of parts for the estate.

[ozonehostile]

I see I've been mentioned ;-) haha

Here's where I currently live when not at work haha

Need to repaint the floor, put a sink in and put my own fuseboard in but not too shabby :-P

[Toms306]

Do you rent that Zakk? Was just wondering how much it costs roughly, if you don't mind saying?

[THE_Liam]

Can't wait to get my garage built, gonna have a bar in there as well as the car stuff, got a full-size folding pool table as well

I rent it off my old man, won't annoy you all by saying how reasonably priced it is :-P

Ah ok haha. Its always who you know rather than what you know lol.

[Dum-Dum]

Its nice to see how many of us have fire extinguishers in there, safety first.

I do but only because i get them from work on rip outs. If anyone wants one (A proper one, not one of these cheap shitty car ones that does f*ck all except explode in a fire) then give me a shout and next time i get some ill hand them out.

Edit: 15,000th post. Shit i need a life!

[Dum-Dum]

Dude how much for a decent sized foam or CO2 one, PM me a price for next time you get them in.

[Niall]

You can have it mate. Im just not sure when i will get it. Will be CO2 as Foam ones are just a pain in the arse and CO2 is more suitable for the sort of things we do in our garages.

I would like to take you up on that please.

[Niall]

No worries. Wont be able to post for obvious reasons but let me see if i can get my hands on some before show season

[Dum-Dum]

Cheers dude, I like foam as the few times I've had to use them I have found foam more effective than CO2 in putting out fires (namely some sort of large lake of petrol or similar) but CO2 is definitely less mess and less space.

I do actually have a fire extinguisher now Lol, was looking at my pile of stuff the other day and thought Mmmm that looks like it would burn well haha

Mate, I burn everything

The landlord of my estate doesn't pay for bins so everyone's rubbish gets chucked in a huge pile and burned haha.

306 seats and bumpers burn pretty well :-P

[daniel909]

Gave my workshop a bit of a tidy so thought I would add to this thread [attachment=16251]

[Matt-Rallye]

Thought i would resurrect this with my new and improved man cave



Currently housing:

1x 106 gti (breaking)
1x Saxo VTS (restoring)
1x 405 Dturbo (storing for OzoneHostile)

And my Rallye lives in here also amazing that there's still room for more

[DavidA]

Mine is still full of boxes from moving in 3 years ago, 3/4 mountain bikes and my road bike on the turbo trainer, but I'm slowly working through it so that I can house a Mini.

[Poodle]

Mine looks like this at the moment:

[attachment=19233]


As is ever the case, I need more room lol.

Edit: please excuse the sideways picture, I can't persuade my phone to upload it upright.

[RetroPug]

Matt it looks like you could actually have a pretty good run around in yours!

Not much room too move in there right now!!

[Ollie]

Our shed full of my dads stuff. Hate it being so cluttered but cant complain as i'm never too stuck for tools odds and ends.

Used to be like this when i first started working on cars...



A space cleared to fit a car in...





The all important lift.

[DavidA]

Loving that lift and the barrel "ramps"...

[NOSE]

[RetroPug]
