Hi everyone,
It's been 6 weeks since i've moved and i'm finally settled. I've spent this time organising my new garage so the 'majority' of my collection (23 of them) can be displayed properly, like i've always wanted them to be for a good 4 years or so. Last night i had my housewarming and the garage unveiling. Nathan (Brisnat81) and his partner came along too. There's still the Frigidaire lightbox to be displayed and room for at least one more machine. There's currently two machines plumbed in and i'm going to be working on getting a couple more done as well, but as it's a rental i do have to be careful on what i do. Enjoy the pics... Cheers Leon Pic 1: Long shot of the garage

puts mine to shame
Wow Leon
what an excellent clean and tidy layout, looks like a showroom.......and what wonderful machines british machines seem so understated and dull by comparison. It is an excellent job well done. BTW My garage is not mine, but i did do plumbing in there for 8 machines 4 aside. A mixture of 40mm plastic drain piping for the outlets and a garden hose adaptor for the water inlets.

Awesome display
What an awesome display Leon, you have done a great job of fitting them all in, your garage looks just like an appliance showroom floor,(or what an appliance showroom floor should look like).
Thanks for bringing back a lot of my early memories too, in particular your detergent collection, who could forget Shendelle Franklin as the Fab lady in those commercials for Lemon charged Fab,and the husband who chortled to the world that he was foreman material in his whiter than white overalls and his wife who said it was because of her Ajax and its patented "blue beads of bleach.",(aka sodium perborate.) True blue Spree,"value for money clean". Now I am really beginning to show my age I think. Well done again Leon and thak you for sharing,now all you need is to get a Hoovermatic to squeeze in there. Cheers. Steve. | ||

Alcohol consumption and moving the car and our weather....
Dan: actually, the car stayed out in the visitor's carpark Saturday night as i had a few wines over dinner!
Jonathan: the weather here in Brisbane Queensland is sub-tropical, so there'll never be any issues in winter. And yes, i had some help moving the machines into position from a best friend. Cheers Leon | ||

Astounding Outstanding set-up and display. Love that the car fits too. It sure is fun seeing totally different and slightly different machines that you have in Australia, I think they are all toploaders. Love the Simpson 4 speed, is that overkill? Martin | ||
