My shed is 6x12m
Currenty there are 2 cars in there...........somewhere
Also the remains of my hatchback minus body (at rust guy) engine ( at builders) and interior ( in spare room in house)
Theres 2 cars parked infront of the shed (racecar and granny spec spare car)
I also have racecar trailer , commodore , and daily driver in the drive too
I haven't got the LJ home yet
I think I need a much bigger shed and a maid to come clean it
Tinks can take some pics someday and post them up. My pic skills suck

Garages and sheds are great aren't they, a good place to escape and have some fun (and keep your loved ones).
Just answering a few inquiries in relation to this topic, yes Liam.W I was in street machine last year in the 'people like us' section. They were after a copper with a car or two and they found me. torry nut, my LJ is a GTR with a fair bit of XU1 gear on it and chevy you have an excellent memory. Kaz you made a good comment about the pics but I don't worry about it, regards Mick.

keep your Toranas, only upgrade.
swapped my XU1 for a family Mazda 929 after 10 yrs excellent motoring,
worst deal I ever did on cars except for one other maybe.

some pics of my messy shed, was dark inside so not all worked.
note most of the stuff ( my wife calls junk ) on floor came off shelves
that fell over.
shed started out 30 x 40 foot then extended 10 ft each side,
sorry bout old measures but I remember when girls were 36 24 36 much better.
left to right
haven't shown side areas, lost some pics some where
have started cleaning and clearing.

I call my 2 1/2 year old grand-daughter Samantha, Messy-Bessy because she gets into a great mess when eating.
But I think her poppy takes the cake for being messy
especially his 5 x 10.5 metre shed.
The Entrance
Front left side.
Half-way down the left side
In front of wee beastie.
Back right side
Middle right side and under there somewhere is my bench
Front right side
Far front right side
I suppose by now you think I am guilty of being messy
Not quite right as most of that stuff belongs to my 3 sons AND I have removed most of my 2nd sons furniture.
When they move out, they often come back, and when they come back they eat you out of house and home and want to leave all of their junk with you
Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Regards ....................... Barry
PS There will be a clean up this Friday and Saturday, honest

I am with Barry as your kids come and go they leave a little more crap each time... I have got to the stage where the boat has become a new storage area and have kept some old car bodies to keep parts in....

Here's mine;
On the left is my mates LH and my LX project on the right. Snapped this pic when my mate had his torry in there for some work. I can fit another large car (SS commodore large) up the front aswell.
