I'd take a picture of mine, but I can't get a clear shot with all the bikes in the way...

Yep the cabinets are from Lowes (installed 4 years ago). The table is all steel with a stainless steel top. Got it cheap at Sears of all places

"Doug your Garage looks like it got makeovered by some A/E show.[/quote]"

My 4th house so I knew what I wanted. Three car garage with the third car separate. Epoxy floors for oil and greese spills and wire overhead storage shelfs. Everything that is bolded down is off the floor (for cleaning).

Not bad for a baggy wearing, hairy legged straight guy

The yellow car near the rig is a McLaren MKIIIB, 67' GT40(red), 07' Ford GT(white/black stipe), the second picture has the Lola T-70 in the left hand portion.

Do you ever race down at the Historic races in Coronado or up in Laguna Seca? I work in timing in scoring every year and a couple of those cars look familiar.

Those are mostly customer cars. And Yes, the owner has had them down at Coronado a few times and Monterey Historics many times!

Awesome. That shot looks like a page from the Slot Car Bible. Speaking of historiques, my dad just returned from Monaco - I'll have tons of photos soon. Don't mean to derail the thread, but here's a shot from the Monaco Historiques he sent me:

That wouldn't happen to be a Kurtis in the middle of the second pic, would it? Good friend of mine in La Quinta works with a guy who has a Kurtis that he runs at Monterey. Kinda cool, you never see one of those.
Oh, and a Gurney Eagle MkIII in the first pic - I remember watching those at Del Mar 15 years ago! Sure miss old IMSA races...
And is that AJ Allmendinger's RuSPORT lola in the bottom left of the top pic?

Yes, good eye on the kurtis roadster. There is actually two in the top picture. Also that was Fangio's Eagle on the top picture also. The lola's are in the lower picture with the T-332 F5000 car and the T-70. The Orange car in the top pic I think that you're looking at is actually a McLaren MKIIIB, 510CID big block car!

Edit: I think the Almendinger car that you are looking at is actually IRL car.... It was a spare from someone but I can't remember from who....... Sucks getting older!

Is it the Western Union sponsored car? That paint scheme, front wing, and sidepods look awfully familiar...though granted, that is all i can see!

just saw the old Skoal Bandit too...neat
