Do I have the ultimate workshop?

[Ross Nicol]

Here's another reason I've been quiet lately.Setting this up has been a mammoth task but the results are great.This factory is next door, and it's
mine mine mine.When the tenant moved out I lied a bit to Cheryl (my wife). I told her we could make money from a little Motorsport business but I needed the whole factory.Secretly I think she knows it will never make a profit. Anyway think of me when your lying on your cold damp garage floor, that lucky b......d Ross.

You can never have too much space. For a three car garage it seems to be about the right size!!!!

Resist the urge to fill it with non car stuff. My garage got full of non car stuff way too quickly and it took years to weed it out!

 

[Dalton Veitch]

You lucky b@#*@#d Ross. I dream of a garage half as good as that. You must be doing something right. Anyway, good on you. Working on your cars is still working, but a great environment and some real elbow room will make it a real pleasure. Hope the "business" goes well.

Er, why have you got two Europas?

Dalton

he he he! so that at least ONE is going at any one time....

singned,
a multi-Lotus owner....

 

Too clean, two Europas, too nice! All you need now, is a Lotus 47 or is one of the two a 47?

 

Very Very nice Ross, in fact thats just what my WIFE and I are in the market for ... nice little 2 bedroom house and a adequate 3 car garage. Have you any plans in place for up grading the sound system?

All the best ,
Burnsy.

Should be able to mark out a test track Inside that one Ross, save the potential embarassment of getting caught on one of your midnite test runs! Workshop looks nice, but needs a ,Cobra-Daytona Coupe-MkIV to really make it look right! No Pressure.

Thats "Bling factor" for club racers -- tilt slab walls --I'm envious

[Randy V]

Have I told you lately that I HATE you Ross???

You're right - you are a lucky b@$t@rd... I probably shall think of your shop when I'm laying on the floor of mine... Someday.... If I'm a really good boy...

 

[Gary Kadrmas]

Ross,

Shop looks like it has the potential to be a money maker. Enough space for many customer cars and then some. Make sure you talk to your banker lady to get a short term loan on some diagnostic tune-up equipment and other auto repair related stuff!

Good luck, chapter one looks like its a success. Can't wait to hear what the following chapters will be about. Keep us posted, and as always, pictures!

Good luck,

Nice one Ross ! Just make sure that you fill it with "car stuff" as fast as possible - otherwise, the guys from next-door will find an excuse to fill it up with old amp-racks, W-boxes, miles of cables, & all sorts of other "Steptoe" stuff from the old big-audio world !!

Kind Regards,

Peter D.

'W' Boxes? You can't mean Martins can you? If so, are there any 'Philishaves' to go with that?

 

[JohnC]

If she bought the bit about the Motorsports business making a little profit, convincing her you need a dynamometer and a flow bench should be a doddle!

 

[ChrisL]

How to make a small fortune out of motorsport? Start with a big fortune Yeah, an oldie but a goodie.

But in the words of Monty Python...
You lucky lucky lucky B@r$t@rd

 

[Bill D]

That is one sweet looking workshop. Looks like you have enough room for me to finish my GT

 

[Russ Noble]

Not wishing to put a damper on things Ross, but where's the fridge?? boomsmile

A serious racer can't work on his car without a cold Speights in one hand!!epper:

Good luck, I'm rather envious.

Cheers

 

[Pete K.]

Wow! Great looking shop.

Why the drip pans under the Loti?

 

[Sandy]

Yes, that is hot Ross!

I can say you will make a lot of local friends with race cars...

Hey Ross, can I come by and use your XYZ. Thanks Buddy.

Nice, I leach some space from my friend's warehouse (The Gulf 9 painted building in some old pics). Nothing better then having space.

Does it have a bed and a shower? If so you are all set

Sandy

 

[Pete McCluskey.]

A Bewdy Ross, it's even got a his and hers dunny. I agree that you need a fridge though.

 

[Rob]

Nice work. Now that's cool.
