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.
