I was wondering there are many clubs of car owners nationally that all pitch in to rent a warehouse space for car storage and have a shop space also with lift etc.. to work on cars. Is there any in the Seattle area?

 

Stay tuned...there may be something in the works.

 

i've always liked this idea.

 

I'd be very interested!

 

I was just reading about the "Monticello Motor Club" which features a 22-turn, 4.1 mile road course, a circuit designed by Brian Redman. It features 450 feet of elevation changes, one of the longest straights on the continent, a skidpad, and a dozen different possible running configurations. In addition to the track, a 30,000 sq foot clubhouse, exercise facilities, overnight accommodations, a five-star spa, and a top flight restaurant among other things is available. This will be made possible through a $125,000 one-time enrollment fee as well as a $7500 annual fees but that's only the tip of the iceberg. Members can pay extra to store their prized car collection in reserved garages. Private residences will also be available with cutting edge living spaces above luxury garages. Members will get up to 200 track days a year.

Nice concept but a wee bit more than the community garage idea.

 

If you want something like that, I'll build it for ya :-)

 

Ben im looking for a spot to set up shop.. MZ

 

This would be perfect!!

just think of it. My wife could have a small house, and I could have lots of cars!!!!!

Problem solved, marraige saved.

 

Let us all know when there is an update on this front. I don't mind turning a wrench on the Lotus but I hate the idea of doing it in the town house garage. Even worst is when I move to the condo and that idea will be impossible.

 

its already coming

completely different idea...and completely different part of town.

 

The garage town idea is nice but not exactly car friendly by the looks of it. I rather be able to have a place which is more club oriented with fellow car crazy people.

 

Yeah I agree, the garage town idea is more geared towards individual things I think

 

trust me peeps, I think I will have a good alternative to what you are looking for...

 

Don't disagree that what you would build would be much different and better. Just thought I'd throw the other link out because they are becoming popular and they are trying to make them places to hang out rather than park and leave.

Crap I'm already out of space and can't get the other neighbors to sell yet
