One for the rev heads
« on: December 04, 2013, 09:50:56 PM »
Every now and again my work takes me to some cool places.. today was one of those occasions... I had to install some neon and signage in a "private" shed. For some reason I seem to get a job like this just before each xmas. Well I walked in today and was blown away. Not only by the size of this private shed but also what was contained inside. I was allowed to take some pics so long as I swore id never reveal the location.. well here it is, site unknown.

One of 3 E type Jags in the building..



Austin Healey..


The Oh so sweet Corvette!!


1940's scramble bike.. Jawa


Some general pics of the inside.. ill let you lot pour over the pics and name the beasts..






Reproduction bowsers.. these were everywhere


And finally.. my bit




Not a bad day to go to work I reckon..

You're not fooling anybody. That's just a diorama of a model builder's collection.
... oh wait... that would be killer even for that.

OK.
As you were. ^^^

I'm no car enthusiast, but that setup is amazing. I would expect to see this arrangement in the USA (except for the Aussie cars).

Your NEON work looks awesome, Gav  ()

Exactly what i thought when i saw this thread  *%* *%*

The phrase 'only in America' immediately came to mind.. except that this is not in America  :D :D
Its like seeing episodes of 'American Pickers' when they walk into some of those awesome sheds over there!
