... would you immediately fill it with an additional vehicle, or would you simply do a tidier and more organised job of keeping your existing car(s) instead?

It would be filled within a very short time with my Riley 1.5 restoration project and accompanying twelve crates of parts.

My possessions always expand to fit the available space, so I expect something else would soon appear Embarassed

I have a serious space problem. Having been under the weather for most of the year I have been throwing things in to my garage and sheds, without being able to find the energy to tidy them away properly.

I am (I hope) about to unload my Sprite on to my new daughter-in-law.
The space will be used to consolidate the existing junk to make room for some more.

I have a serious space issue now, I am preparing my Commer lorry for painting but my unit is full and I only just have enough room to walk around it! I have to find alternative accommodation for a 55 Minx that I have so I can move the lorry over.

Aside from that, if I had a larger shed there's a couple of things I'd like in it. A chap near us has rescued a 1939 Singer 10 and he has no interest or intention of restoring it, I'd like to persuade him it would be better off with me! The other would be a Commer lorry that we know of which was new to Heavy Transport Co (later ECC) which my Dad drove for many years ago.

I hope Santa is reading...

I wish I had the space actually for a couple more cars I'd like, nothing in particular, but for sure a convertible 4 seater and a pick up are top of the list.
Alas I do not have the space and I am not selling any of my cars to free up some space!

I'd love to have a workshop that only had a vehicle in when it was being worked on.

Santa....Are you listening? We've all been good little girls and boys and would like more space, more money but mainly more time to tinker on our treasured metal. I'm sure even one of us could spruce up that old sleigh.....

Merry Christmas
