Ps. Lovely looking car!

Personally, I think a tidy garage is a sign of a sick mind...... ;-)

Yes, and part of the fun about being untidy is finding things you forgot you had when looking for something else.

I must be the healthiest person alive in that case

Happens all the time. I was re-building the engine on one of my campers a couple of years ago and for the life of me I couldn't find my piston ring compressor so . reluctantly, I went and bought another. Now it's a bit tight with the camper in there and I can just squeeze past on one side by sucking my belly in and shuffling along sideways between the van and bench. Whilst doing the said crab like shuffle my shin brushed against some stuff I had stored under the bench and I had a mini landslide, looking down there it was looking up at me - a rather dusty piston ring compressor with the allen key still in the slot

Nuff said.

if a tidy garage is a sign of a sick mind then i need medical help

I must be beyond help!

Sorry but if you can get the car in then you don't have enough junk/spares. The "crab like shuffle" should be a good early warning system.

I am naturally very very untidy, ask my long suffering wife who is very tidy, has made for some interesting discussions over the years .

I am working very very hard at trying to keep it tidy, part of the approval from management here to extend it was that she could access the freezer and that I did not bury it in crap. (chest freezers do make a good overflow work bench).

It is a pleasant place to work now though, and I do want to try and keep it that way. I have thrown tons of stuff away over the summer (it hurt), but it had to be done.

Its nice to have somewhere to work on the car and I am not having to plan round the weather, tipping down outside and I can happily work on her, came right really with the engine disaster I had.

(any one want a small chest freezer, scruffy but working)

My garage is so tidy, and to keep it that way I prefer to work outside. Joking aside, some people can work in a mess without a second thought, others prefer to be organized, as long as one type doesn't have to work with the other, great! Hell I've just remembered, I left a spanner out!

Well at least you all have garages I have to make do with my drive and a car cover at least I can't make this untidy! If I did own a garage it would most definatley be tidy as it would drive me insane trying to find anything I would then get mad give up and leave the building very quickly. Tidy garage tidy mind.

We love the word 'tidy' here in Wales though.

Tidy
