My latest addition, an Olympic Airways Authi Van.
Three Minis, none of them working at the moment. Great!

Wouldn't be so bad except I seem to be responsible for keeping several of my relative's cars going too.

Re: whats in your garage/workshop
I do have one, could be for sale.
It would be a nice addition to your collection, nearly as rare as the beach car.

Re: whats in your garage/workshop
What's in my garage / workshop.??
An absolute bomb site compared to most of the particularly tidy and interesting examples posted so far.
The view from outside my block of "sheds". The open garage contains my Beige MK2, yes Beige. Don't laugh, MK2's are getting rare especially in Beige.
The Mini shares the garage with about 2 ton of firewood and some bats.
The added on garage at the end of the block was built specifically to be used in the winter and hopefully for spraying. Yeah, dream on.
The big shed gets very cold in the winter.
And the remains of my old Rally Clubby along with more wood, coal, furniture and a Honda 50 etc etc.
The BIG shed is where the main bomb site is.
Pictures speak louder than words.
From upstairs.
And the inner workshop within a workshop which houses the S MK2..
There's another 3 sheds attached to the big shed, mainly consisting of Mini related bits and pieces and loads more junk. Like I said, a BOMB SITE of which I'm not proud of at the moment.

Re: whats in your garage/workshop
I'm so pleased its not just me. I spent three weeks of evenings cleaning mine so that I wouldn't be to embarrassed to take photos of it. I didn't show the loft section where I piled everything that was cluttering up the main area.

Re: whats in your garage/workshop
What a relief. I thought my place was a mess. I've lost and misplaced so many parts and tools all over the place its very frustrating.
Some people call it character.
Keep bombing!!!
I throw a party once in awhile at my place, not because I want loads of people sniffing around my tools and cars, but in order to clean and organize the place. Nothing puts you in focus like a deadline.

Re: whats in your garage/workshop
Thanks for the comments guys RE the Bomb Site.
That's the result of nearly 40 years of messing with Minis.
My head is still hung in shame though.
@ Ronie. I too, lose things, well not strictly lose. The lost bits are in one of the sheds, somewhere.
I'm still looking for a good used S master cylinder, i found it, put it in a safe place, and now lost it. It'll turn up one day when I'm looking for something else.
Having a mess such as mine does have its benefits though. I "found" the exhaust system that came with my S, Yes, you guessed it, it's one of the crimped ARH ones. Tidy.
@ Jens. That attack cat is as soft as they come. She's scared of her own shadow, but she keeps the rodent population down.
One day, (year), I'll have a sort out and probably find that master cylinder.
