    Like parkinson's law, where a project will expand to the time alloted for it, garages do the same.

    I have a reasonable garage, it's full (the POS company cage sits outside, at least for another 3 weeks until my garden leave finishes...). Garages are not for cars, they're for storage of my precccciooooooooooussssssssss.

    I also have space in another garage, but it's not actually a garage, it's like the ultimate bloke space with every tool that could ever be useful. It's also very safe, what with the nice little doggie, and the even nicer gentleman who lives there with his shotgun collection. But, that's out of space as well.

    I'm rennovating the loveshack, and as soon as my house is nicely finished, the gixer will be living inside where it's nice and warm, resting apon nice polished floors. Bliss.

    So, in answer to your question, I can live without air, world peace, and with Uncle Helen (fucktard), but I couldn't live without bike storage.
    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    This is very true,the more space you have,the more 'junk' you will collect...

    One thing that I have learnt since I started bucket racing is that nothing is junk! You may need it one day.....

    There are two constants in the universe, 1 you can't travel faster than the speed of light, 2 you will never have enough garage space.

    I have garaging for 4 vehicles and its not enough. The 2 outside are for vehicle storage. The inside 2 are my workshop. The wifes 4wd and the company car live outside.

    When we looked out houses I just wanted a double garage and room to get my truck in the driveway.

    We came to look at this place with the agent, I went into the garage and said "yeah this will do".
    The agent asked "dont you want to look upstairs?"
    I wasnt really bothered as I figured it would have a roof, rooms, toilet etc, the wife on the other hand thought it was important so I did go up and have a quick look. Then went back down to see if I could fit everything in.

    Only hassle i can see is you have to leave a narrow track between what is now the garage door and the dunny . Otherwise i can see no problems adapting.

    Fucken pain getting stuff up the stairs!

    Yeah, it is an upstairs flat which is a real pain, esp when we had to have the pitbike in the lounge!
    We even tried to get the h100 up the stairs but couldn't get it around the first landing...
