What Lives In Your Garage With Your MINI?

We have an M5 and a Suburban to welcome the new Mini CR Cabrio. I guess we have small, medium and LARGE.

What other car do you have?

Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon, 87 Honda Accord, 83 Toyota 1L Diesel Pickup. But no garage. A single lane driveway leading to the backyard. . . the pickup is around the block next to the electrical substation . . . downtown where the streets were laid out by burros can be a female dog. Right now the MINI is in the backyard waiting for it's next run.

A few hundred daddy long-legs and probably a black widow or two (I'll kill a black widow on sight if I spot it... sisterhood be d***ed).

My MINI is an only car.

Me, too!

Our house was built in 1940 and has a single attached garage. Our 1991 Corvette lives in it. My 2003 MCS and our 1988 Isuzu Trooper live in the great outdoors.

That would be the Driftwood Home Theater.

From the outside looking in


The screen wall with all the panels open


The seating


85" Screen, 7.1 channel surround, 6 amps, 15" Tempest Subwoofer (tuned to 17Hz.), Sanyo Z3 front projector, HD-DVD player, 3 captains chairs up front and a futon on a 14" deck in the back, 2 dedicated 20 amp lines directly off the main house breaker panel to power her and 100% DIY.

So far, the Ariel Atom (never heard of them, but it looks awesome) wins by a wide margin, but the Driftwood Home theater is way ahead of the rest of the pack. For me it's just the humble ping pong table, because Sherry doesn't have the nerve to try to squeeze her Toyota Sienna BattleCruiser in next to d'Mini, and I am not trying to get her to.
