Why I wasn't doing any work on cars over the easter weekend (Somehow we made a bathroom out of that again!):
Image
Which meant I wasn't getting on with this Citroen Project (this used to be the drivers floor in my Visa De-cap:
Image
And the inner wing:
Image
Nor my non-Citroen project:

(are you allowed non-citroen projects???) Sorry, the hammer in that photo is just not big enough, must remember to get big bertha out[:o)]

Alrighty,
who wants to feel sorry for my wife ???
This is after I've spent 2weeks trying to clean up the cr@p everywhere:
I have a small single car garage that's 'L' shaped. This is the 'L' shaped workshop area
Image
It's rafters:
Image
and
Image
The bit where a car is *supposed* to fit:
Image
Image
This is a 4x4meter garden shed:
Image
I also have a 3x3 meter garden shed full of cr@p (that I can hardly walk in).
The there's the 3 trailers, caravan and about 8cars around the yard.
Feel sorry for my wife ?? Should try my fathers place. His shed is about 20meters x 12meters. He has the two car he and my mother drive, they rarely fit in the shed, and a new caravan ... It sits out in the paddock in the weather. Yes that bloody great shed is so full of sh!t he can't get his new caravan or 2cars he uses into it. If you really want to feel sorry for my mother ... I used to live there too :EEK:.

looks like an enthusiast's garage looks pretty much the same no matter where on the planet you live! Is that a UK registration plate over there in Aus? Presumably from your CX GTi turbo 2 personal import?

I agree, it can be fun trying to keep the garage tidy, and keep on top of the stock levels of things being saved for a "rainy day!" [:D]

Looking at the size of some of these "plates of meat" it's a wonder the local Council doesn't charge 'Land Tax' on them.
I was once paid the ultimate compliment at a Hospital out here following a racing accident when the doctor came in to examin a foot and ankle injury and commented that I had "the flattest feet I've ever seen in my life!! what have you ever done to get them that flat??" cheeky bugger....and I told him so[:(!][:(!][:(!]

This thread is disturbing! lol
RichardW: Im impressed. Ive owned 6 Visa's and never seen that much rust on the inner wing! :)
Heres an irrelevant photo for you. Me accepting a trophy for 2nd in class at a Sprint this weekend. What made it better was due to the Visa not being ready, I shared a drive in a friends mk2 golf. First time in it and I beat him and was only 0.7secs off the class winner much to his annoyance [:p][8D] http://www.sevenoaksmotorclub.com/iB_ht ... 093-DR.JPG

My parents live in the UK for 12months (that would be nearly 8years ago now). My mother bought back a 2cv, my father bought back the CX turbo. That is the 2cv's numberplate, and highly useful ( Image Image ) grill muff (I remember seeing snow here once .... I was about 8years old).
