Welcome... nice MINI and garage! Question about the race deck, how did you finish the edge at the garage opening since you laid it out on a diagonal?

Thanks!

I didn't lay it diagonally--that's an optical illusion (watch out it will give you a seizure!). I simply used the standard inclined edging at the garage opening

That garage is awesome. I planning on doing the swisstrex or rack deck. That swisstrax is very nice.

That's a cool effect the Swisstrax tiles have. I did a friends garage with RaceDeck freeflow and thought yours was the same.

Thanks guys for the warm welcome and compliments on the mini and garage.

I'm bringing in the mini this afternoon to address some issues discovered from the PPI (thermostat, bushings, strut mount). Wish me luck they don't find anything else. Was hoping to enjoy her for a few months at least before the next repair bill!!!
