So whats everyones working places look like? Garages Driveway barns or whatever lol. What kind of cool tools do you have laying around? I miss having my own garage now and i like to keep them just as clean as the car.
Ive always drooled over a nice garage but you know all kinds backyard stuff gets the job done.

I will post a pic later but my garage is about 1500 sq. foot in size. Enough for both of my LUV's, 4 sea-doos and a 19 foot boat. I plan to take the wings off of my airplane and paint it in there.

Damn i envy you bud. Im back at a apartment now and it REALLY sucks :( I have all my tools stored at the hangar i work at.
You have a 172 right? I work for the company Million Air so i know alot about all aircraft. Airlines,private, and military aircraft. Ive been doing this for about 8 years now and worked at quite a few top end fbo's over the years. At one, We loaded 7 md-11's a day for 3 months 6 or 7 times just to get fort carson back and forth from the war. Shit! you ever seen a pit of one of those bastards? We used to bulk those bitches out everytime!
As of now i manage my own hangar at luk thats holds 4 g-4s at the same time. It was Proctor and Gamble's old hangar. They moved up and built a new one that holds 8 G-5's :roll: I only have 2 aircraft in there right now. All these fbo's are losing our asses right now. A g-3 and a falcon 2000. The G-3 is the owner of the Cincinnati Reds.
Its a cool job 8) 8)

Let me see if i can dig some pictures up :D

The Ford Capri were good autocross cars at one time. Check with your local SCCA group... I am not sure about the automatic, one less thing to worry about.

NADA said
Average Retail Value $5125 "but i would sell for $3000 so i could get started on the cossworth luv"
This vehicle would be in good condition overall. It could be an older restoration or a well-maintained original vehicle. Completely operable. The exterior paint, trim, and mechanics are presentable and serviceable inside and out. A "20-footer".

i have talked to some on the Capri list but no one wants another one at this time
