Default the best christmas present I have ever recived!!!

The year I recived a great surprise from my parents. They had seen one of these while on a trip in France and decided to make one for me. My father built this himself. The cars were bought from a guy in England through ebay. He used a few things from a doll house store, but made most things by hand. All of the posters on the walls were copied from magazines. Note the hand made tool chest, muffler, jack stands, jack, creeper, ect…
Also look for the working shop lights and overhead lights.

Here is one small pic and a link to a gallery more and better pics. I will take some realy nice pics later without the glass in place and in a dark room so you can see the working lights. I hope you all think this is even half as amazing as I do.

That's awsome. Some of those photos look like they could have been inside a real shop.

Wow! Labour of love. I bet your dad had as much fun building this thing as you had receiving it.

You're real lucky.
