Because I always loose any fights with my wife and still wanted the pin repair area in the garage.... needed to compromise...

Solution - bought a new house.

This hobby is expensive!

Garage is big enough to house about 8 cars......but both are in the driveway.

Much better to use that space for pinball machines  ^^^

I have an attached double garage, one car parks inside & one in the driveway. Arcade games & pins take up the other car space in the garage?

I could fit a dozen or so cars in my shed (30ft x 80ft) but only the Torana and the dirt bike live in there (I let the wife park her road bike in there coz I'm nice  *)* ).  I made sure when I was building the house that it had a two car garage attached so I had the shed to myself  &&

As they say -every picture tells a story. Thats my Mirage in the visitors car parking.
Can fit the car in (only when our kids who are interstate visit). Can fit 3 pins (fully assembled that is +the car).
My wife said before I started collecting,that there had to be room to fit the car,so I designed the layout for 3 pins but didnt allow for the wider 2 player backbox,so it will be only 2 at the moment -So lesson learnt,only collect single player machines.

I live in a high set Qlander - the whole of the lower level is dedicated to games - no room for a car at all... in fact no room for any more games!

the only time i make room in my garage for a car is when it is going to hail.
we get some major size hail stones in Qld. and stuff paying for new glass on the car when that money could be better spent.
like on well um i don't no, "PINBALL!!!"

80ft!  :D I can only dream of having a shed that big!  #*#

Since one of my passions in life is cars, I have always seen the garage as their home. I could not sacrifice a car space in the garage for a pinball machine, the pinball machine would have to go in the house. However, if I had a big shed like Matt's, I would fill it with both cars and pinball machines.

I voted YES - Because I can fit 29 machines and the wife's car easily. It is a 2 car garage. I will post pictures to prove it !
