Triumph TR6 - Thinking about a new car

This would look nice in the garage

Still fantasizing after that BMW pre-owned ad?

It's my 7 year itch X 4.
Here's my man cave
The car in the fore ground is a Masser Quattroporte.

Don,
That garage is just way too orderly and clean!!

Don:
I'll call your Quattroporte and raise you two GT coupes and a MC-12. Talk about orderly and clean - Sheesh! Where are all the tools in this pic? Why inside of course, swilling aperitifs!
Cheers,
Bob

I think us smart guys with TR6's would be smarter than hanging shovels, etc. next to the car. I'm here to tell ya.....one nasty twist and the weedeater is bouncing off the rear wing!
But then, maybe they are permanently attached to the wall....just there to impress the neighbors?

Actually there is quite a bit of space there

A little story as to why i have to re think how i store things in the garage.
Now the rakes,shovel etc. are hanging beside the wife
car, i have fenders,bumpers Xmas decorations up in the rafters above both side of the two car garage.
Not to mention car parts etc. stored in every nook and
crany,but the brake fluid,oil and wax etc. on a shelf high up out of reach of little hands was a dumb idea.
Last Thurs morning at about 5:30 as i had opened both
doors and as i was walking to the rear of the TR6 i
observed a Racoon do a little should i run in or out dance,then took off down the road.
As i was running late for work i did a quick look for
any other Racoons and closed the doors and left for
work.
Well don't i get a call from the wife saying something
has run amoke in the Garage as she cleared the falling material around her car.
Well the Triumph Gods were looking over me that day
because there was a Racoon hiding in the nooks and crannys as i left for work,i beleive the 4 post lift protected the car from the pipe,etc it was pure luck
with the brake fluid etc.
Well i did a quick look over and washed the paws prints off the TR6 amazingly no scratches. I dont know where he was hiding but he left thru th open door
Now to get rid of the mice and chipmunks.
Cheers
