Love the mini and the Nissan. Land rovers and tractor pretty cool as well.
Now if this thread had been called what’s in the boot. I could have contributed a whole lot more.
Oil cooler
Radiator
Door locks
Break pads and around 10 oil hoses and oil pipes to name a few.
What else have you got in the garage?

lol. The boot of mine currently has lemforder suspension arms, driveshaft boot & CV joint, ZF gearbox service kit. But I'm not going to post a pic of it in case you all get jealous.

Ha ha. Would have stored my parts in the garage.
But I didn’t want them to disappear like my multi meter, diagnostic cable and RS6 steering wheel badges.

No Matt. Just tidies up too often. After which I can never find anything.
I suppose they will eventually turn up ????

My Mrs leaves the garage well alone. It’s sometimes the tidiest room we have.

Re: What else have you got in the garage?
Some nice bits I see, nice turnaround on the LR Matt, didn’t expect it to finish up looking like that
I still have my first Audi although it’s a bit neglected and unloved currently, hasn’t been seen for about 10yrs now
This is my current nostalgia trip that takes up the garage

RS Turbo. Love it. My dream car was a Mk3 RS Turbo when I was 17. Had to settle for a 1.3L.

Yep, S2 90 spec in Mercury Grey, had a Radiant Red one years ago also
Ford RS were the first performance cars I was into at a young age before I could drive
I’m now lucky enough to own 3 different variants of an RS
Re: What else have you got in the garage?
You've got RS's coming out of your arse.

Re: What else have you got in the garage?
Better coming out than coming into. 
Love the RS. My first car at 17 was an mk3 XR3i which got me hooked of fords for a good number of car but the closest I got to an RS was a dressed up MK4 XR3i. If I had a lock up and the cash I’d be very happy to have an RS in the stable.

Re: What else have you got in the garage?
This E55 wagon popped up on the local online market, I couldn't resist. I've always wanted an E55 (I cut my automotive teeth on Mercs 
) and the fact that I've got an RS6 Avant meant that my OCD demanded I obtain an estate E55 and nothing else. I think there's less than 10 of these still driving on the roads down her.
The D3 S8 will have to go to replace the hole in my pocket and make room in the driveway.
Lots of little things to get stuck into as it's got 200k+ Km's like the 6. Full service history sold here when new (not a Japan import like 96% of the E55s on our roads), owned by the same family since new.
Very different delivery of power, similar kw rating but the Merc has a fair bit more torque though it also has ~1.3 litres more displacement.

Re: What else have you got in the garage?
Nice. It’s even more of a sleeper than the RS6.
