    I wonder if any of these were ever produced? Has anyone seen one?

    Not that exact same thing, but my family knows a guy that built a huge custom barn, with living quarters up stairs completely opened up to his shop downstairs. He's been known to ride a bike from the bottom to the top using the stairs. As far as the tax man knows, it's just an unimproved shop. Hope he never gets caught...

    I met a guy 2 weeks ago that collects prewar MGs. I had to ask him how he got his dozen or so prewar MGs into his backyard with no side gate. He opens his front and back doors and drives them through his house. He says the nicer ones have made it half way through the house and have been parked for a week or two just to admire them in the comfort of his own living room.

    Eccentric? Yes. Cool as hell. Yes.

    Don't know if any were built, but most likely some did.

    I remember the TV show "Vega$" where Dan Tanna would drive his T-Bird into his livingroom and I thought that was cool back then.

    :rolleyes: Athough SOME of us would live in a house/garage/shop just like that if given the opportunity.:p
     
  15. When I FINALLY get our place all done and trimmed out I will post new pictures. We live in our shop. It was going to be a shop/guesthouse but we got carried away on the living quarters.

    Downstairs is bath/kitchen/office/laundry and the shop area. Originally we had antique glass French Doors from the office to the shop. As cool as it was to see the Touring parked there it became an eyesore when I was actually working on stuff. I restored a mahogany door and framed it in and am much happier with the 1/2 window.

    Upstairs is our master bedroom, large open living room and one other bedroom.

    We are just under 3000 sq feet total. At some point we will build some more living area off the Kitchen and a separate "dirty" garage out back to get the fab out of the main area. Then I will clear out the main garage and make it look swanky.

    I always thought it would be really bitchin' to live in an old converted loft space with a cargo elevator big enough to bring my car into my living space. Or better yet... convert a parking garage into a living space. :D :cool:

    Ha Ha, yeah all I need is a Murphy's Bed for The Push Bar (that's the official name in case you didn't know - I am having novelty poker chips made up for paying members and that means you)!

    Alittle rain, hail and flooding wouldn't have kept me away if I was INVITED!:p
