I would post pictures of mine but you'd think i was a picturespammingwhore

Instead I shall just tease you with notice of a caravan to bike-lugger conversion currently underway at my dads house.

Moneys spent so far (including caravan) = £50 .................I think you can guess the condition :smt003

We've got a fairly standard size garage (about 30yrs old so I don't think the car would go in without folding mirrors in and possibly exiting via the sunroof (which I don't have so there goes that idea!).


Unlike K's posh version though, it doesn't have electric going to it as it's in the middle of a block to one side of the house.

On the plus side, because neither me nor Mr C gather a load of crap around us, it has plenty of room for the three bikes and associated paddock stands, tools etc so life isn't too hard :)

The downside is it has a feck off steep slope of a drive leading up to it so you kind of have to open the door then commit to getting the bike up the slope and in the door :)

32ft long 11ft high 10ft wide, full of stuff I use like Viceroy lathe. Viceroy mill 36inch feed, hydraulic press, Drill press, folding bars, welding kit, guilotine, tool room marking table and slips. Don't have an english wheel, but I know a man that does.

04 Falco, 1929 Chaise Dollar,. and shed loads of other gear that I will probably never need until the moment I part with it.
Oh I and stacks of crap that belongs to her indoors. :smt003
