So since finally moving to a house with a drive & garage my territory is clearly marked, the garage is mine and out of bounds (unless collecting food from the freezer or bringing a brew) but now I've got my workbench built and stuff generally tidied I'm at a loose end as to what to do next?
Add any pics of your equivalent man cave and give me some ideas please people, I appreciate that some ladies may not have a 'man cave' as such, so should this circumstance arise a photo of the knicker draw will do :-p
Here's mine (man cave that is not knicker draw)

Mine won't even fit the 306 in, in fact I suppose I best fess' up now and admit it's not actually as tidy as the first photo would depict. The estate is too long for it anyway but my eventual plan is to clear the front half out so whichever end of the car I'm working on could be driven in to work undercover & under the light and still have a workbench area at the rear, should be getting a nice old style vice soon aswell :-)

This.
We're building a massive shed in the summer though so I'll have a bench to work on but not much chance of doing car stuff seeing as it'll be at the back of the garden.
