Post Time for an update!

As you may know, I moved last August and the new home has been consuming a lot of my free time.
Glad to report though that the Aston likes it here (as I have gone from 0 --> 2 garages)
With each of them over 1,000 square feet, I now have much more room to tinker on the toys.

Here are some pictures of my progress getting the space ready for the Vantage to call home:
(painted ceiling, walls, epoxy floor, built shelves and loft, setup workshop area etc)

Now it's time for me to get out and clean the Vantage for this weekends AMOC cruise...

Look at all that free space. I think you need to buy a few more cars now

Ryan, perhaps you can help me understand how I can access the various pages of your article. I dont see a place where there are attachments or a link to said info. Can you guide me to the location

Derrick Bentley is an unknown quantity at this point
You can quickly get to Niagara by car. My wife and I helped out with a car rental. This is not the first time we have taken a car from Booking rent a car in Canada, and we hope not the last. Yes, this time we were offered the Volkswagen Tiguan the machine really liked, the fresh year of release of 2017 and the additional chips were also very useful to us.

Hey GTA/Niagara guys--just found this thread! I am in Buffalo (Clarence/East Amherst --a northeast suburb actually) and just picked up a 2017 Flügplatz Blue V12VS dogleg manual

I belong to WNY Exotics car club and frequent the "Cars and Coffee Buffalo" (third Sunday of the month over the summer in Clarence)

We have a few Canadian members and folks who come down to C&C .....let me know if any are interested.

I would love to join up in Toronto over the summer if you guys are getting together...I have to make it up to get my infotainment soft/firmware updated to support Apple CarPlay at AM Toronto and will probably spend a day or two in town.

here is my current humble collection...

2010 458
2017 AML V12VS manual
2019 GT3RS
2019 Alfa Stelvio Quadrifoglio








here are a few pic's of our WNY Exotics club drives and get togethers --
lots of Porsche GT cars, Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, McLaren's, Lotuses, Aston's, FGT's, Vipers, etc..

Lightbulb Thanks for sharing photos and feedback on the garage space

Bad news - I'm on a temp layoff for the next couple weeks.
Good news - I've got time to work on the Vantage and install all the new parts I've been collecting.
I'm sure glad to have a couple of acres of space these days while staying home for over a month and counting.
I plan to post regular updates this month so friends, family and forum members have some car stuff to read.

First, let's get caught up on photos since I last posted, you know when you could still leave your home
