Hey, Gary.....I've been in this thing all along...I just redirect the thread occassionally....I mean, do you really think you can handle 2 families in different parts of the world? Driving an MG up there with 1 wife; driving an Austin Healy other place with anther wife....&, lawyer? Expensive, buddy...you might have to sell one family to afford the other...&, you can't sell the one you don't yet own!
...nah, time to talk about what we did over weekend...or go back to talking about Kim's garage....we've gotta build a circular drive so you & I can get in & out with our rigs pulling our MG's....mine's 50' long including car trailer...
...&, I welcome Henri 'cause I wanna drive his car...I had a '54 100-4 once & loved it!

Someone put a tent over this circus...
Maybe we should do a TV Sitcom about this thread...it would have to have a "british" flair...what would we call it..."Monty Python" has already been done...lets see..."Can I Help You Build a Garage, Madam"...no that won't do..."The Crew From BCR"...no again..."A Canuck Over Indiana"...still off..."Three "Real" Men And A Hammer"(Chuck, Gary and Tony...plus Phil)...I know that makes four...It's for artistic sake...three is universal...four is "square" (my new age moment)...I got it..."A Girl, Her MG And A Garage"...stay tuned for more in tomorrow's installment...
Will Gary get to hammer...
Will Chuck be able to explain why not to bring a knife to a gunfight...
Will Tony find his way back home from the musemum...
Will Phil figure out that we are on page 6...
Will Kim ever get a garage...
And, last...what is Henri doing on an MG Forum...when he drives a Healey...
It's scary...hair-raising...it's late...

you forgot:
Will Tony really cut roof rafters?
Will Tony and Gary kill each other?
Will Chuck be smart enough to stay out of it?
Will Kim ever regain her sanity?
Will Kim's husband Charles ever trust an LBC and ride with Kim to a show?
Will Henri ever let Tony drive his Healy?
Will Chuck's wife Laura be able to get all her antique purchases in the trunk of a B?
and finally, will Kim produce the fabled black bear?
and we could call it FAWLTY GARAGES in Basil's honor

Well Tony, if you were in this thing all along, where was your support when Phil and Chuck were hacking on me??
Why didn't you get your daughter to call with some free legal advice?? Also, why would Henri let you drive his Healey when you didn't show up in New Orleans last year?? Blake, Steven, Tom, Cole and the other were counting on you!! Maybe you wouldn't bring it back!!
Of course I am a
and would never steal a Healey!!

not if you could get one by suing him
Ponders hiring his own attorney and the feasability pf filing his own suit against Henri as he reffered to me as a "hammer" and a "clown" Maybe I could be the new owner of the Healey and the Benz's I would let Henri keep his wife and kids they are high maintainance items
I will be calling Dewey later today as this time in the morning is not for man nor beast and he was out all night chasing ambulances to see if this case would have any merit and more impoprtantly WHAT WILL IT BE WORTH

Yeah, Bruce, this cast of characters isn't talking about arriving on this side of the continent until fall of 2004. You're safe!
Tony, we've got the property for a circular driveway, but we'd have to destroy Chas's nature trail through the woods in order to do it, and he won't go for that!
Backing your 50-foot Behemoth out onto the street won't be too much of a problem, since we don't get that much traffic . . . Or probably the best plan would be to back it into the driveway to begin with. And we don't have to worry about upsetting the neighbors, because they're all dead . . .

Seems that no-one wants to step up to design the garage, so I will offer to be the design consultant.
1.We all know the usual stuff that is must have;
heat, air conditioning, air compressor ... but it must be in a separate utility room (soundproof)
2.It must also have a floor drain and hot and cold running water.
3.It should have a resilient floor because I hate dropping tools or parts only to have them break on concrete.
4.A platter turntable the size of the car to spin it around to any direction
5.A front and rear twin hydaulic post to attach and lift the car, with rotisserie heads to invert the car. Both 4 and 5 by remote control.
6.Must have skylights, not windows. (don't want anyone to see inside)
7.An overhead crane rail and engine hoist (remote controlled)
8.Separate parts department room with every nut, bolt, washer possible for your car.
9.Because the garage must be high enough for all this ... about 16 feet clear... a loft for the bigscreen TV to watch car races, beer fridge and kegs on tap, microwave for popcorn, a computer for research, and a lazy-boy(girl)-recliner for those moments when working on the car becomes too frustrating.
Then you repeat 1 to 9 for the number of cars you intend to park in the garage.
Almost forgot, not attached to the house because it is too easy for the family to come and interupt you. No phone or intercom either, cause they will call you. And of course a bathroom with a shower is a must.
I estimate the whole thing would cost a meager $250,000 (Canadian) per car. Let me know and I will start the detailed construction drawings right away.
And of course there is my fee.

Mr. Adams,
you have forgotten the complete bathroom, so Kim can clean up before she goes into the house.
