Excellent, thank you for sharing

Our Vito normally goes in the barn. There's a lot more 'stuff' in there as well now, including 80 bales of hay

Dang, I could get a lot of nice old motors in a barn like that.

I was thinking the same, it would great to have barns to keep cars in. It would reduce the fading on my red Astras.

"Per Ardua Red Astra"

And there's nothing like an old Vauxhall, and possibly an old Citroen, to guarantee adversity.

(Per Ardua = through adversity)

My OH constantly complains that our garage is full of stuff I’ll never use, what does she know?
I have a 6ft steel cabinet in one corner which is double padlocked in order to preserve irreplaceable treasures from burglars who know the value of things like………
Gunsons colour tune.
Gunsons strobe timing light.
Cortina mk5 void bush extraction tool.
Gunsons auto ranger multi instrument.
Various vacuum gauges.
Two thirty year old hammer drills in need of refurb.
Various spark plugs/ points/ condensers.

Not to mention some home made tools like the starter motor bendix
compressor.
I will admit that there is a lot of stuff not in the cabinet that I’ll probably never use again……..but who knows? She obviously doesn’t !!!!

Sorry to bore……..
Forgot to mention ..
40 Haynes manuals, youngest being 1982.
Plus a priceless ? Auto data bible for cars made 1980 to 1992.

Two of the things I can’t find are
Gunsons Colourtune and my carb balancing vacuum gauges.

I wonder… (see post #ri…)

We've downsized more than once in the last 20 years. It started in about 2004-5 when we decided to sell the family

Did you get a good price for them?
