Here's an interesting twist on a garage.
Bob Beers is a respected long time Aurora/AFX slot car collector as well as a vintage Ford owner/collector,so he merged the two in his garage.
More photos here.. http://www.auroraslotcarsbobbeers.com/home.html

Inside,this building is filled with thousands of old slot cars,sets,accessories and hobby shop displays.
Some never seen by the general public.
Bobs' written a few books about collecting & IDing old Aurora AFX slot cars & sets too.

Nice garage - first time I've seen someone paint "parking spaces" in their own garage.

If you are not driving your antique car frequently you might as well be collecting clocks!

Always remember you are unique, just like everyone else.

Very nice. Like the storefront that makes the rest of the garage look like a parking lot. Very well thought out!!

I agree.
I've seen another collector paint parking lines in his garage as he put a barber shop in the front half of his garage.

Nicely done. Actually the flooring appears to be Snaplock tiles and the white lines are actually white tiles rather than paint. Have it my garage; not white lines though.

I'm interested in Deep Rock and Kerr McGee items especially if they are marked B.A. Tramp Oil
