As my husband says we have a matched set of "foolish 50's" cars. We are certainly enjoying every moment!!!!!

+1 I had an 87 900 turbo also. Amazing how much stuff those things hold.

The MINI lives in the street along with my 07 Jeep Wrangler. The small garage is home to my 1954 VW convertible (still awaiting final resto).

My R53 snuggles up with my wife's R56 "justa." They are flanked by my wife's 1999 Kawasaki ZRX-1100 (Eddie Lawson edition), and my 1998 Honda VFR800.

I need to get some dirt bikes in there somewhere, but I haven't devised a good system by which to suspend them from the ceiling...

Also, my neighbor has an AE86 hanging in his garage that I may have to make an offer on.

In Garage:
04 Mercedes Benz C230
08 Honda S2000 CR

Driveway:
13 Mercedes Benz C250
05 Mini Cooper S Convertible

Most likely will sell the C230, and the Mini will take its place.

What's in the garage with my MINI? My husband's MINI! Monday thru Friday, though, she usually has the garage to herself, since hubby has the work truck then. He then brings his MINI home on Friday, and takes the truck back to his parents' house, where he leaves the MINI during the week
