After 40 years of working in the street, a lockup and a leaky barn I have built myself a spacious workshop with good lighting, loads of power points, a 16amp circuit. It can hold 3 full size cars with room to work and I have 8 x 4 welding table, currently home to my Maserati CK project ( Gates and railings pay for my hobbies ) I have a post war SouthBend lathe and a Thiele mill which has a small bed but is very versatile and tilts in both planes I have sold off all my other cars except my Austin Devon Pickup which was a scratch build with lightweight GRP cab, aluminium bed and a very heavily tuned Pontiac V8. Its a lively beast running an easy 11 at 110mph at Santa Pod. Ive had a few carb issues but sorted now and waiting to see if I can race this year, fingers crossed for 10s. The trouble with a big garage/workshop is that its too easy for it to fill up with patio furniture, exercise stuff, firewood etc...a spring clean is on the cards.
