My Garage

I started to build my own garage for my Cadillacs in 2005. Unfortunately the town did not allow me to build it as big as I planned to. So I had to settle for a smaller garage. Its now the home of my Cadillacs.

Thats our house - as it looked like before the construction of the Cadillac garage began.

Speaking of ultimate garages - here is a 360degree panorama of my friend Richards garage.

My Garage

Due to the lack of storage space I had to build a home for my Cadillacs in 2005. It turned out into a great place to spend some time in...
