Mine will be sharing the shed with a 1999 GMC 2500 extended cab pick-up truck. Talk about polar opposites....

Mine will be sharing the space with my wife's cirius but he will be taking the space of a 1999 Miata, and that's some fun shoes to fill.

My mini has to live on the street, pretending not to be owned by the same person who has the 1986 Toyota Camry. Just can't get up the effort to sell that thing!

I'm trying to find rentable garage space that my (future) Cooper S can share with my '95 BMW R1100RS Motorcycle(Erika). It'll be replacing an aging '90 Jeep Commanche. Hey, it has LOTS more interior space!

My BRG Cooper will be sharing space with my wife's 2002 Volvo V70. The Swedish boat is about twice as big as Mini. It's funny to see them parked together.

Haha - I have run out of room! My Mini will be sharing space with my wife's '02 Passat, my 1966 Ford F-100 and my beloved 1995 Miata (See below), but I may need to make a new garage for the Mini
