Let's see what your Z calls home. Garage Pics!

[esses]

There's a pretty epic pic on Rennlist with pics of their garages. I thought we could do the same.

It's a great source of inspiration.

I'll start... with my OLD garage. My new garage is a wreck, and i need some ideas! So come on share!! (Mod's feel free to kill this thread if it's already been done... i just couldn't find it)

This was basically a 60 year old barn with just studs, exposed wiring and a single dangling bulb. For my 30th birthday, my wife hand painted the studs in contrasting color / epoxied the floor and found a contractor who did all the overhead shelving, electrical, and cabinet work for just the cost of materials in exchange for my wife doing his taxes. And she did it all while I was out of town.

Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done (this one's for storage, there's a detached garage out back for making a mess in...):





(yes, that's six__6__Coupes packed in there, like sardines...)

Not fancy, but does the job and keeps all the track junk in 1 place and out of the living room. Roadster lives in here during the winter with the X5.

That's YOUR Coupe in the 2/6/14 pic (on top__out of the way... )

It's main home 1st and the "shed" in the 2nd picture. It has since been tiled and is a multipurpose workshop now (A lift will be going in soon); can't find the pics, now.

I'm jealous of you guys and your great garages. City-living doesn't treat me so well!

Summer home...

Winter home...

Wish the winter parking spot was closer to home (about 30 min away) because the daily driver sits outside in the summer so the Z can be parked in the garage at home.

It fortunately lives in a deep garage. In the summer the Z moves to the front.

Moving soon, but this is where they live now. Not really a great pic of the garage but you can see its there...

When the day finally comes, I will be reaching out to you. For now I am still in search mode because I just cannot justify the upgrade to a 10k+/year tax bill.

We moved into our new house about 5 months ago and I have most of the things put away in the garage. It's a tight fit for 3 cars but luckily the coupe is small enough to allow room for the brew stand.

[Ring Rat]

Its Currently a mess... Still setting it up / moving junk to the attic etc. But a lot of good space.





Will be redoing the work bench, shelving and cabinetry some day, sanding the dw seams and painting, adding garage door openers and doing an epoxy floor.... Eventually.

Wow, sure wish I had the room for a fab table that size!
(yes, you made me jealous, now get over it... )

Although not much to look at, this shop did produce a Moto Guzzi that set seven land speed records at Bonneville, four are still standing. The Z3 fit right in.

Just moved to a new house, so my garage is simply empty. But I have some plans for this space!
Last bay have 14' ceilings, so I will put a lift there. The other door where the 4th bay is - a workshop. Big plans for it as well.

I'm having serious garage envy.... I just wish I had a garage! Mine spends it's non-driving time in my driveway, covered when the weather stinks.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I actually do have a garage, but it's from like 1929 and I don't think even the Z3 would fit through the door. In any case, for me to attempt it, I'd have to empty it of 4-5 bicycles, 2 motorcycles and heaps of sports equipment. So it's in my driveway at best, and in front of my house in the street at worst.

My newly acquired Z3 is getting rained on as we speak.

I've been warned not to use a cover over a car with a ragtop on it, trapping the moisture engenders mold on the cover. Is that true for the Z3's cover as well? Is it actually "cloth"?

Though come the snow and icy weather, I'll drive it to my parents' place who have a "spacious" (for NYC) 2-car garage and only one mid-sized sedan to store in it, and leave it there for the ice season. Which here means maybe 4-6 weeks lately, though some winters it's lasted almost 12 weeks.

Still a work in progress, but the Z calls it home.
