Might as well update this thread.

For those that were at the mini-meet you will have seen most of the junk lying around the garage. I have a bit of a habit of sourcing old mostly motoring related advertising lighting plus motoring memorabilia. I manage to purchase a light last January, sadly the dork who sold me the item lived in the deep south and when he packaged it up using 4"x2" timbers the GPO told him where to go, so I was told the courier wanted £320 to deliver it. I had a mate who lives close to the vendor collect it and store it for me and another mate brought it up the road at the weekend, total cost of a couple of pints


This is what all the fuss was about






and a few others I have



Anyone looking for a dodgy MOT?

Looking great John. .. and the Snap on toolbox looks good for a £70 buy. Since I saw yours I have been trying to pick up a similar bargain but no luck!!

There was one on ebay that finished a couple of days ago locally that sold for £95 David, so they are still around



Edit, that's not the Snap on box in the picture above

You have no idea what junk lying around a garage really means! I'm sure everyone here with a garage has more junk in it than you, John.I've seen worse kept living rooms!

Now there's a challenge - post you photos of junk in your garage here....

OK, I'll be first as my garage has never been used for storing cars. This is the "naughty corner" - note assorted bikes that really are in need of TLC and a full set of Ford Focus seating!
