Whats in your garage?

[explores]

So what have you got in your garage ??? I found that when i put my car away wet in the garage, it was still wet the next morning. All the other cars left out in the rain were dry,so out it stays now.

Naw not really it's full of junk.

I recently visited a mate's 'garage' (it's really an accumulation of sheds), and he showed me his 'hobbies':

1. 1/2 dozen 1940's/50's motorbikes (including Triumph, BSA & Norton)
2. Several punt guns (one of which he made)
3. an eclectic mix of static engines (industrial & agricultural)
4. A running Alvis 9-cyl aero engine (+ cut-down prop) on a car-towable trailer
5. 2x Rolls Royce Merlin aero engines (one ex the last flying Mosquito that crashed) in bits.
6. Another Merlin (ex Halifax) in rebuild
7. Yet another Merlin, re-built, trailer mounted with cut-down prop as per the Alvis (what a beauty!)

and the real doozy:

8. A Rolls Royce Griffon (ex Shackleton), re-built, trailer mounted with twin, counter-rotatiing cut-down props. This beast is 37 litres

He takes the trailer mounted ones to shows, where he fires 'em up.

Merely an old Seagull, Fiat500 (real one), bits of a James Captain, freezer, oodles of old Haynes manuals + needful junk.
Oh and sundry oars and canoe paddles

My car has never set, um, tyre in my garage. Officially it is my band rehearsal space and usually has a lot of PA gear in it, but for the past year it has been the occasional home of my wayfarer instead.
In terms of junk, I can't stop myself collecting buoys and bit of rope off the beach, which are gradually accumulating in corners of the garage. Oh and I have three spare sets of oars, for some reason, none of which fit either my inflatable or the wayfarer. Hmmm.

So you could be classed as an Oarder!
