Mine is nothing specail :/
Can fit my Mini in, tools, welder, Lathe, Mill, drills and stuff.

I'd say any workshop with a welder, lathe & mill is pretty special!!  :grin:
I would love a lathe and mill.

No chance!!

When I can afford it, I'd like to build and extension onto the back of the garage and put a lathe in there...maybe a mill too...if I win the lottery!!

Sell some of the wheels and you'll be able to afford it :grin:

Unfortunately my workshop is the local garage that does cheap services on weekends, though I've not had to use them for a while :grin:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Why do you need so many wheels??  :huh:

I don't.
...but I want them.

I have the standard wheels - about to be sold.
A spare set of 19" VWR wheels (to allow for pothole damage etc)
A set of BBS CH with summer tyres on for the g/f's Mk5
A set of BBS CH with winter tyres on, currently on the g/f's Mk5
A set of 18" VWR wheels for my winter tyres (about to be fitted)
A spare set of 18" VWR wheels (to allow for pothole damage etc)
A set of 7" x 16" Mk3 Anniversary wheels on the car.
Another set of 7" x 16" Mk3 Anniversary wheels with R888/A048 trackday tyres on.
2 further sets of 7" x 16" Mk3 Anniversary wheels as spares.
A set of current Fabia 15" wheels and summer tyres fitted for mothers Fabia...which will be replaced by her winter wheels currently fitted.

They all have a purpose  :smiley:


You're mad  :grin:

Ess_three's workshop is tidy, I miss having any space since I moved out, parents had a drive, two huge double sheds with power. Plus my misses is a whore, I suggested we don't need a garden and I build a massive shed which she said no too, so not only am I shedless, I am also driveless in this house.

However a few month ago on ebay an ex-college CAM machine sold for £600 in all working order, just wish I had the space for it :cry:
