Jan 60 ex Race Car in Carport.
The shed mini.

My latest addition, an Olympic Airways Authi Van.





Three Minis, none of them working at the moment. Great!

The usual then... we should speak in fractions

this thread gets better and better, i am starting looking in the background , you cant beat a shed/garage full of stuff, alladins caves

Hey Ronie, fancy a SS50 to add to the collection

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

Why, do you have one for sale?

I do have one, could be for sale.

It would be a nice addition to your collection, nearly as rare as the beach car.

just a few minis in mine



RMR is a 1970 mini 1000, has been built as a rally car but its suffering major floor damage at
the moment, DUR (the green one) is or was or maybe not is a MK 3 S , this is my project monte car



AVV is a 71 registeted MK3 S and will be my shopping car

Everyone should have a BMC tractor in their shed

And a mini couch.(don't worry i cut up a clubman and put mk1 tailights in it)

A few mini's and of course a few unf nuts and bolts

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.

what a collection of outbuildings and "stuff " brilliant inimiad

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.

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.

Brian Epstein,s Wood & Pickett has one, but the last digit was moved, so they had space between them.

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.
