My mini used to live half the time outside and half the time inside, (whoever got there first with our car, me or my sister.. my mom and dad have priority over both of us and we have a three car garage).

BUT .. my sister is off to college so I basically get a nice comfy parking spot in the middle of the garage.

 

mine is stuck outside. ive always wanted a garage, but its just not in the cards
atleast i have a car cover, but i only use that when i know im not planning on using the car for multiple days, which is only when im gone on vacation, or the likes

 

love to show off my garage. I know there are some AMAZING set-ups around these parts, but I am very excited in how mine turned out. I painted all the cabinets to match my cooper, and the doors to inside and the side door as well. My wife is pretty laid back about that stuff, and she loves the garage as well....

 

I'm just happy to have my own garage

 

My current garage, best described as "cozy".



If all goes well, I'll be upgrading to this; a 36' x 24' garage with two acres and an attached house.

 

Heres the alaska garage where the mini sleeps now. And the cali garage.

 

!!!! Thats so exciting!

 

It would be SO cool Stef. I swear you can drive laps in that garage!

 

I'm so proud of you, introducing the little one to the finer things in life...like detailing your Mini!! Take care of both, especially the sweet one in the snuggle bag.

 

In the garage is where the Minima sleeps next to the Maxima...

That mustve been a fun day of drivin in the snow

 

I know its a bit big of a picture buts it usually sits in front of the garage, because my garage is no mans land, and my dads VW Passat Wagon sits to its side

 

Thank you!! Its my little bitty house to go with my little bitty car

 

Used to be my workshop, but when I had to move tools out to do repairs, Sherry said "why not get a workshop so we can have a real garage?"

 

not the most recent pict, but you get the idea.

 

I noticed the wheel ramp things that you can drive your car onto, so three questions, where, how much, and does ur MINI go on without a problem?

 

I thought you were asking about the fire brick e-brake mod Ken is using!

Then I saw the ramps. I've got the same kind Rhino ramps I believe and they don't work well for me. Even with the rubber pads on the bottom they tend to slide when I try and drive up them.

I've found the best way to use them up front; jack the car up and then place them under the wheel facing the wrong way. Yup, rather foolish looking but .....

As for the other 2 questions:
Wal-Mart
around $30 I think?? It's been awhile

 

hm, well the metal ones that my aunt has for her 00' golf worked well when it came to traction but i dont know if my MCS would clear those,
And 9 times out of 10 function always looks dorky
