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 !

I need proof Nino, my mind just can't compute 29 machines and a car in a 2 car garage  ^&^

I think that at least 5 members on this forum have seen my Garage. I'll find some pictures to prove it (there is only 25 in there currently).

I might have to come and see it for myself one day - it sounds like something out of "Ripley's Believe It Or Not"!

Note: That was a not-so-subtle hint for an invitation  %.%

Normally i can get my car in the garage if i have to.. but at the moment the Zac Universe and another pin im repairing for someone else are taking up the cars space. Presently i live in a 2 bedroom unit (rented) and the garage is large enough to house eleven pins and the car when the weather threatens to turn foul, the garage is also where i do all of my resto work too. there are seven pins lined up along one wall (all my SS games) and my four EMs on the opposing wall. Im able to CAREFULLY park the car between them :lol

I've had people tell me i should leave the car out permanently and fill the garage with pins, (mostly people with cheap shitbox cars)!! My car cost me too much money to leave out all lf the time so i always have to make sure i can get the car in if needed.

The Zac will be moved into my loungeroom when its fixed up so i will again be able to get the car in *%*

I would love to see a photo of your garage with the 11 pins AND the car all in there, what a sight that would be!

Here we go - This was taken around 8 months ago - a "panoramic view" of the garage - and the wife's Car fits in front of the workbench.





There's 27 machines in there

You are welcome anytime Matt - Except during this month (May) as I have too many functions on !

Wife's car is in double garage , other half is my arcade space. That's the compromise

Exactly the same at the Bossninja household. Double garage - wife's half has her car, my half has the pins. We are both happy.
Wanted: GTB Aquarius backglass. Any playfield bits and backglasses from any EMs - nothing is junk to me.

Next time Mrs Bossninja complains about the state of our garage, I am going to show her your pics of your garage!

I think that at least 5 members on this forum have seen my Garage. I'll find some pictures to prove it (there is only 25 in there currently).

Note that they are not set up, they are standing on end, which makes it easier to fit them in. There were a couple on legs.

I usually only have two machines set up. However, the criteria was "how many pinballs" - not " "how many pinballs setup"

Small technicality methinks !

I must admit that I thought you meant 27 pinball machines were setup, but it is still an amazing feat to store that many pinball machines and a car in a 2-car garage!  @@*
