So my insurances comes to and end in november therefore im thinking of taking the car off the road for a couple of months over winter and the summer and then get it back on the road about this time next year, hence my need for a garage or lock up or just space to keep the car, is there anybody in my area wanting to rent out a garage/lock-up or maybe rent me a bit of there land if there have the room? It wouldnt be messy as im a bit of a clean freak and id make it look better, maybe a lick of paint here and there.:D

Ive looked in my local newspaper but theres nuthing and idealy i need room to store the car and spare engine as ill be changing it over, is there anywere else i could look??

Very random question i know :thumb:

How much do you pay for a barn?

Speak to farmers, they may have a barn you could rent. May even have electric which would be a bonus aswell! They are more likley to do a cash deal, easy money. Failing that speak to your local council. Garages rounnd here can be rented for a monthly fee. Not sure if they have electric though.

Yes, this brings me to another issue.

Genny, what sort of power am i going to need to power a 50l 3hp compressor? and probaly work lights aswell? What is a rough price for these? id rather by one that will last not a cheap one. How much would it cost to run?

Questions, questions, questions... LOL!!

Genny, not sure what these cost, try www.machinemart.co.uk (http://www.machinemart.co.uk) for ideas. should have lighting on there.

Just remember if your going to have all that kit in a lock up, you want somewhere that is secure!!
