Here is my current garage. Had the floors epoxyied but wonder if I should get swisstrax or race deck on top of it? Any opinions here? I do wish I had another place to store the non auto items in but don't so they stay in the garage as well.

I put a Lucas sign in mine a few years back and all the lights started flickering and the electric garage doors got stuck halfway.

It's not the best driving car, but more than good enough, and the noise and experience of an 8C is hard to beat.
It's a definite 'keeper' for me, as is the one on the right ;-)

Nice looking garage! Why would you need swisswax tiles if you had your floors epoxied? Didn’t like the results?

What a pair! Never seen an 8C in anything other than red, black and white I think. What color and is it factory? Did you do a custom job as with the R?

^^ Well I think you win the award for the fanciest bathroom sink in a garage.

Bobaines...What is a good source for those lighted signs? I'm just about finished with my garage project and am in the midst of the garage art portion and would like to get some lighted signs similar to what you have. Appreciated.

I think there are some sellers who specialize on auto memorabilia, they can be found on the internet. Not sure the prices make a lot of sense. I have bought some posters but some of my lighted signs came by way of friends who knew I was looking and contacted me when they had something available. My Gulf sign was a fluk find on Facebook. Let the people you know, know you are looking and be ready to buy when something comes along. If you know what you want search online but prices can be very high.The fun can be in the searching.

Floor looks great but it still gets dirty and since it is epoxy, water never really drys under the tires if you drive in wet. If I had the drainage of the tiles, that would let the floor dry as well as keep dirt below the surface.

bobaines, Luv that martini racing room and shower! That is just so well done.

Thanks - and it is a factory 'PTS' , as ordered by the original owner in Italy. Aston Martin Glacial Blue
I'd always wanted an 8C (probably a coupe), but wasn't really planning to buy in a hurry, until this one came up for sale last year.
I'm only the second owner, and couldn't resist the color! Very happy with it, and much rawer and noisier than I imagined.
The wheels are also original - not cloverleaf, but optional on the spider only.
This pic probably better representation of the glacial blue:

Garage is coming together. Interior finishing is planned for later this summer. Moved in last week after building for 18 months (whole home).
