2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Stornoway Grey

Gave my garage a bit of a spruce up!

I thought after a good 14 years since I painted the garage after we bought the house new, it needed a bit of a tidy up.

So over the past couple of weekends I have been busy with it.

Managed to do it when the weather awas good so the Astra could sit outside for a few hours while I got on with it.

Yes it did go back in the garage at night!

Still a few small things to finish, like new kick board under the floor cupboard and a new wall cabinet with doors, but it is about there.

Opinions, good or bad are always welcome of course!

Finally found somewhere to hang the pictures taken of my cars over the year at various shows. Still have got the Zafira GSi and my original vectra C to put up.

Only problem now is having four cars at home!! I think I have sold the Mercedes, but it may not go until May, so it will have to sit their for a few months!

The Freelander used to be in the garage every night, but when we bought the Astra in June 2010, the Freelander had to live on the drive! Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto Stornoway Grey

That can't be a garage - where's the clutter?

Serious respect is due there.

Mind you, if mine looked like that where on earth woud I put the motorbike, golf gear *2, push bikes, fishing tackle, caravan awnings, camping gear, surfboards, buckets, gardening stuff.............

Haven't had room for a car in any of our garages since the 1970s! Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto
Tricia's - 2006 Royal Blue Beetle Cabriolet Auto
Mine - 2014 Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport Matt Black
Ours - 2007 White Bailey Pageant Champagne

That's good I was just a little worried the weight of the car would push through them

Well, the Freelander is for the Mrs as her every day drive and the car we use to go on holiday. The Mercedes was my everyday car for work but is now up for sale sadly as I have an Audi A3 S-Line Black on order as a company car.

The Astra is purely a summer toy and the Saab is a loaner until the Audi arrives. So we are really a three car family but just have four at the moment. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

Nice to have a choice of all those cars, I had a demo of a a3 black edition Quattro did not want a large 4x4 . definitely did not want a freelander , it's the wife that wanted a 4x4 so I thought best of both worlds a 4wd car , then had a demo of the fl2 for three days and had to admit I was wrong and she was right again
