Stiffy

Fantastic to see the cars in the garage at last.

Yes a hoist or two helps. I did not make my garage to big as I was restricted by site and height. I have included the cinema room upstairs now and that just sneaks under the height and boundary set back limits.. So only one hoist in my garage but your will go to eight cars with four hoists..






Cheers

Hey Stiffy, the garage is looking great. I do have to ask though; "Luger," "Stuka,"? Is that a cirica WWII Kraut fixation there?

Default Achtung Achtung

lovehamr,


Firstly I would love to meet the woman in charge of those air bags on your signature......

Yes I have a slight leaning to WWII and all things German.

My first choise plates were PANZER or WAFFEN but they were already taken. I like to have the correct spelling for things as well so it restricts the
list as well. We in Victoria are only allowed 6 letters.

Default Which Hoist

Hi Bernie

Just after some feedback on the hoist you have. As we about to move in to the new abode I am looking at a 4 poster for the shed to get the Cobra up ready for the Daytona project. Which brand hoist are looking at Stiffy?

Cheers
Brett

Typically Jeff runs Dons Cobra and Don runs his GT40. There are a few NSW members that go in support.

Can't wait for the nationals the car is runnng great and my confidence is getting higher, could get interesting.

Phil

Default Room

Guy's,


The most recent addition to the shed,




Andrew from Tuff Lifts was great to deal with, prompt, returned calls and the price was amazing. Installed in under 5 hours, the training took 8 seconds .

One very happy camper

I dont have a bad back and dont intend to have one. At the cost everyone car nut should have one ( space is the only issue IMO ) it makes it so much easier to work/clean your car.

STIFFY

P.S. Current rental rate 1 Crown Lager per hour.......

Nice looking shed, Stiffy. Lots of room for all your fine machinery and the new Corvette Grand Sport too. My town house's 2 1/2 car garage is big enough for my Corvette and Cobra, but little else. I did purchase a Kwiklift with castors though and it gives me plenty of room to creep around under the beast. Your lift is better, but if I used it the top car would be in my living room.
