Nice garage. Great contents!!

I like the red edge. It complements the red mirrors on the GP.

Looks great. I see you have a couple of spare GP wheels. I'm worried that I am going to damage mine someday on a pot hole, or curb. Those low profile tires don't give much protection.

gusmiami, looks great!
You need to go to Detailing 101 and post in the "Detailing ideas for your garage" thread. We'd love to have your pics in the thread for inspiration.

Thanks, I also have a lot of things in there that are red, so it all goes together I guess.

Let me guess. . . the washer and dryer unit in the corner is ONLY for cleaning microfiber towels?

Fantastic garage. . . . you are living my dream.

No, that's for the drying towels. The microfiber towel washer is in my other garage.

Terrific job. Your photos gave me some ideas for my garage. I noticed you didn't extend the tiles to the wall. Has that caused any problems for you as far as the tiles slipping around when you drive on them?

Thanks millerd2. I didn't go all the way to the wall because I would have had to cut the tiles to make them fit just right. I would rather have the red trim strip and keep all the squares the same size.
I've had zero problems with the floor moving. The floor came in 6 boxes that weighed about 45 lbs each, so add the trim strips to that and you're talking about almost 300 lbs on the floor.

A beautiful garage, Gus ! My GP also shares space with a 2001 M Coupe, and a 63 Austin Healey.

Yeah I saw that on gpmin.net. Very nice. I'd love to have a classic car like that as well. Someday soon I'll build a bigger garage at home and have enough room to by something like this (if even a replica):

AWESOME GARAGE....
I want to know if you are for hire???

I so want to get out in my garage now and get it cleaned like that. Now all the normal stuff that goes in a garage... do you have a shed you store it all in? I just cant imagine where I would put all my stuff.

Gusmiami,

Great garage and thanks for sharing. I have just finished building my garage and you have given me some great ideas on how to finish it off. The floor looks great. Was it difficult to install? Did you have to glue it down? How much time? How difficult to cut? Got a million questions!

I understand that MC2 magazine is going to do some features on MINI garages, you ought to submit yours. I'll bet they would love to do an article on yours.
