    @Appfaff:

    Do you have space for a freestanding Carport type structure? Wouldn’t eliminate the elements, but it would keep rain off and the tires from getting too much sun…

    He's in the UK; I don't think "too much sun" would be a concern.

      ^^^^^I would love to have that just to organize the garage better.  When we built our house, the builder joked that people's biggest regret was not making the garage big enough.  I laughed and said that we would never fill it.

      I was so horribly wrong.  Kids bikes, toys, my toys, lawn care, shelving,…

      I don't think they're that difficult to install if you have or could increase the height in the garage. those are one of the simplest solutions. I've seen many others that include going below ground level etc for storage oraganisation with vehicles..

      they are also getting more common these days with the rise of YouTube car enthusiasts that own multiple vehicles. if you watch Matt Farah from the smoking tyre, he's got a new car storage facility business in LA with a similar stacker that can go about 4/5 car upwards per bay..

        @louisbosco Thanks for that info.  I started down the rabbit hole last night and discovered all kinds of shelving options suspended from the ceiling.  I really am looking to free up the floor space and just need to organize better.

        It's the story of my life.

            Ha! Thanks @Giles
            The four poster has locking holes on every post in case of hydraulic failure. It's resting on those right now.
            I wonder what fail protection is on the scissor lift, not clear by the photos.

            Dream car? Hmm….am I only allowed one?

                Bugatti Type 57 Atlantique and a nice Trilby.

                Or the 1989 Batman movie car. Turning circle is a bit wide on those though, other than that completely practical of course.

                    @goosehd the problem with things hanging from the ceiling is that it needs to be load rated, depending on what the uses are for. another option is a 'modular' wall, kinda like what retail spaces use that can be moved and adjusted based on your needs. not exactly sure what the correct name is for it but it usually consists of holes to hang and move bars and sorts.

                    @The Web Minions damn that fat arse on the supra looks lovely..  😎 tuned I supposed?

                    that Bugatti reminds me of the car red skull drove in captain America, one fit for a villain

                      Thanks. Mostly returned to stock now aside from decat pipes, Ohlin suspension, TRD braces, few other bits and bobs. Wish it was worth in the UK what they're worth in the USA.

                        what are they worth in the uk? most importantly, what are the specs? a supra with the right spec sheet is worth more than a few quid..

                                  Got some new rides in 2020, helps make up for the suck of this year.
                                  My daily is a 2020 Ram like Brock and Appfaff (edited for spelling)

                                  We inherited a 66 galaxy convertible from my wife's grandmother. All original, stick shift on the column.

                                  Had to give up my garage spot for the 66, but i figure that one is appreciaring in value while the ram is depreciating.

                                  *bonus pic for jordanscollected, also got a horse this summer. I don't ride though, just the wife and kids.

                                    Great looking rides!! I love that stealth sport package on the 2020s!

                                    I think the pony might win the “horsepower” award 🙂

                                        Thanks! Yeah, 2020 big horn night edition 1500. 5.7 no etorq. Love the ride with springs in the rear vs leafs. Yeah, the horse is a nice edition to the family. Came off the track. Raced for 8 years. Wife is taming her for riding. Had her one day and then had to have major surgery and we did not have insurance (chalk it up to 2020). She's great with the kids too.

                                          Yes, for a 66. 137k. Runs great except the gears get stuck from time to time and i literally have to reach into the engine bay and manually release them. Sucks when at a light or stop sign. Reading up on how to permanently fix that.
