Okay, so the title got your attention.

I am currently working on fixing up my tiny 2 car garage at our new house here. I need some ideas for how to dress it up. I have one wall finished. (paint, cabinets, tool box, stuff like that) Now I have 2 more to go. I have a few signs, a few space shuttle pictures but that just won't do! I need somethings to make the place look complete.

Anyone know a local shop where I might find old or repro garage, oil, gas, auto signs? Maybe a nice clock of some sort for the wall? I know everyone on this forum is a picture nut, so I will try to post up a picture of the completed wall.

FWIW, I like just about any car company. Asian not so much but old US and European ones are cool. Maybe a circa 1970 Toyota sign would be okay too. Pictures, framed posters and the like would be good too.

LMK! Thanks

I think pictures of scantily clad women are appropriate.

:devillook

go to a flea market to find old signs.

Can you point me in the right direction? I kinda new to the area.

you sig reminds me of another big pair I like.....Timsmith hinted at it earlier too. :p

sweet. make sure you post some pics when youre done.
finding stuff to put up is easy (http://www.google.com/search?q=garage+art&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a). finding the right thing is tough and takes some looking.

im still looking for the right pics. im thinking i might go with framed bmw posters.

good luck.

You need a flag...a BMW flag

That's what I'm doing to my place right now...

Of all the places in the world, when I went to a Michael's craft store to get a picture frame, I found that they have old-fashioned roadhouse, diner, & gas signs, some of which are actually rather cool.

As for our garage, we have all kinds of stuff; A Z4 poster from the Zentrum in Spartanburg, Turner Motorsports & Mechanix Wear promotional posters, Italian Job posters (the original movie, not the sequel, a vestige of the now-gone MINI days), a "Rosie the Riveter" poster on GP's side, old license plates, and even one of Miss Georgia Tech's flip-flops. We also have the novelty "BMW Parking Only" signs, which you might be able to find somewhere. :D


:cool

Agreed.

BMW flag on ebay for $13.00

I already bought one off Ebay for $9.00. :alright

Most of the big poster websites have lots of car/motorsport related stuff.

I have a few goodies for my garage, including a signed Vic Elford Porsche 917 poster, and an uber rare (M Power) poster of the BMW M family of cars parked in front of a dealership. I have a few other posters also - mostly from the 1998/1999 Petit Lemans, Daytona, and Road America.

I also found a fairly cool round 1940's style metal sign that reads "Last Chance Garage" at a Stuckey's or some other junky gas station. :)

They have some great signs on eBay. You might want to check Cracker Barrel for metal gas station signs as well. I have a Sinclair gas sign that i'll sell you really cheap. I am in Roswell too btw. So if you find a sign that has high shipping see if they will combine or give you a discount on two. There is a mirrored M sign/lettering that I have had my eye on. Were in Roswell? We are on Mabry right in the middle between 92 and shallowford.

There is a place one street parallel to Peachtree that has a crap ton of old signs. Ask dos Santos he took pics there.

I have a couple autographed older PTG posters from '99 or '00 when Said, Jonsson, et al were driving. You're welcome to one, if I can remember where I stashed them...

She's not kidding, they're all up and down the road. Just go into each market you see, and your odds are pretty good. :thumbup:



<--- Once lived in Chambodia, worked on Buford Hwy, and shopped at a lot of these markets.

Yeah, you only need to worry if he starts asking you to dress up like this:

:rofl

Oh, I also have a large (24x36) poster of the LeMans-winning BMW LMP car from back then. It's in a cheap Wal-Mart silver frame, but it works.

Yours for the taking. Been sitting in the closet since I moved.

No worries there DW! :rofl:

You mean that she already dresses up like that for you? :D



:biglaughb

ROFL at this thread. TPat while you are on Buford you can stop get some pho. Then stop by Follies.

and no geometry is not required on my job. I was talking to someone while typing and that just came out all word. But for the first time in my life last week I actually had to use calculus. I had to find the number of unique combinations for test cases. I still think calculus was the biggest waste of 8 hours in college.

Pho-Sho! But Follies FTL. Oasis is much better. :devillook

Oh and Calculus and I did not get along at all. Although I had to use a lot of it in the military believe it or not for figuring dive tables and drop rates and such.

Are drop rates the rate at which a navy seal can get a young woman to drop her pants which he meet at a bar.

Maybe

:rofl:

Not

And "dive tables" are how long he's going to have to "stay below" for her once said pants are off. :devillook


:D

My beer almost came out of my nose in laughter
