Got $$?

Wow... a one million dollar garage. The least they could have done was carpet the ramp.

Yeah, at *least* one could put the kids in there during long trips!

LOL! Of course... being pulled over for speeding and having children screeming from the back would look pretty bad. That's why you'd have to gag them first.

I'm having one if I win the lottery.

Do they have many of the big pusher RVs in GB dowding? I can't even imagine one of those on some of the roads over there.

Or are you saying if you won the lottery you'd move to the U.S.?

They do have those big RVs over here - import obviously. Quite rare though and expensive for obvious reasons. You would have trouble on alot of roads, but it would depend on how far you went from the motorway.

If I won the lottery I would buy a house in America. I don't know where. Where does Ripsnort live?

I think I would join the moneyed elite and head for Barbados or the Cayman islands.

12k will get you a moving garage.

It'll hold a mini.

That animated gif is sort of a metaphor for MiniD's sex life.

And you'd be the motor home funked?

YOu'd get beat up in a heartbeat by the native population in Sumner, they hate English kids brainwashed by socialist college professors that are borderline communists.

I could build that for 2k. Is the mark up really that much on those things?

No you're the motor home. The Mini is the gerbil.

You've been in SF too long funkypants. What's normal down there just isn't up here.

The retail cost on most items is about 4x the mfg. cost. That is not the case here. Lets just say that if you could build that for under 5k you should go for it Rip.

Remember there are codes and standards that motor vehicles (even trailers) must comply with. And don't forget the plumbing, electrical and safety equipment.

My guess is that in your garage... if you are very talented, you might be able to duplicate it for 9k.
