Garage Style Magazine, I just learned of it, and after reading through the newest issue, recommend it. (Car guy stuff through and through)

In the above issue, I was enjoying the article on the Irish car makers and oldest car maker in Ireland (Peare Motor Works) and oldest traffic light, the Speedway Brewing Company near Olympia Washington, Denny's collection, Frank's collection, Larry's collection, John's Porsche collection, Michael's Corvette collection, Jon's collection, news on car shows like the Muckenthaler, the art work of Rick Rucker http://www.drawingcarsiseasy.com/, Booker, and Lambert, the photography of Dean Graham, and a good bio profile of the founder of the Amelia Island Concours, Bill Warner. Plus 5 book reviews I haven't seen anywhere else (Chrisman Legacy and others) plus a garage design company article.

Chock full of awesome garages, collections of petroliana and automobilia, garage art, hood ornaments, advice on garage floors, wall art, garage designs, doors, etc etc, car collections and how that has changed peoples garages (expansion!)

Some famous museums (Mullins!) and work shops too. Check it out when you have reading time, because this isn't a short attention span captioned photo type magazine, this has great writing without all the stats and facts of cars, this magazine tells the stories of the people that desired more that a place to put their stuff, they made great garages! (you can find an issue at Borders or Barnes and Noble) Enjoy! http://www.garagestylemagazine.com/home

Nicolas Cage mansion and estate on the Rhode Island coast is for sale

Here's the odd part, 11 bedrooms but only a 5 car garage. Who is going to park in the drive way? About 100 cars.

Anyway, 27 acres, 10 million dollars.

Car Craft Magazine has a 6 page feature about Thomas Payne's 1930's service station (I posted about it a year ago, amazed at the treasure he found)

This entire story is on a really long thread on the Garage Journal, and it's one of the coolest finds ever. Car Craft's Jeff Smith has just published in in the May 2011 issue, and it's worth a look if you see the magazine.

http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/03/this-car-guys-dream-maybe-yours-too.html is the link to my post a year ago, and for the thread on the Garage Journal where Thomas adds new photos of things he's doing and restoring that were left in the garage, like floor jacks, the hydaulic car hoist (Rotary lift company), Sun distributor tester, etc, http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51567

This car guys dream, maybe yours too, find an old garage with a floor hoist, a Sun engine analyzer, some flatheads and a soda machine

If you saw the above, would you have the ambition to fix it up? Restore it to a working garage? Built in the late 1930's and used by a father as a blacksmith/welding shop and later in the 50's one of his sons did automotive repair there until his death in the mid 1970's. The father carried on until his retirement in the 1980's. The shop was then was slowly under used and finally abandoned.

Nice huh!

I cropped the photos so they are aligned to see that the major cool things haven't changed locations, they've just been freed of the detritus that buried them... the Pepsi machine that takes dimes and was still full of change with all those bottles stacked next to it, to the far left 3 oil tanks (30 gal)

Notice the "All Parts and Labor CASH" sign hasn't moved, and the Pepsi machine

through the door on the left

Arc welder on the right and welding table

I was up til 2 in the morning reading through the whole thread http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51567 and how he cleaned it up, cool stuff and filthy stuff, dug out the hoist and repaired it, rebuilt a couple of clapboard walls with masonry, replaced doors, laid in the drive way, and freed the whole property of 25 years of undergrowth run amok and in that process found the next posts's cool stuff

Beautiful garages

Thanks to Mike for emailing these to me! I found the source of these and a whole lot more: http://www.luxury4play.com/automotive/36568-worlds-most-beautiful-garages-exotics-insane-garage-picture-thread-50-pics.html

Fabian Laghi is the photographer... well done, not cheesy. If you bought American Rodder about 10 years ago, this will be familiar

This guy is good! Not safe for work, but then I'm not at work.
