Show us your man cave

Cheers. It's a cosworth with the turbo taken off,..
Very cool, did you seriously skim the block or the head to up the compression to NA levels?

*sob* Not a MkI, why? WHY?

My man-cave bit of fun, forgive the overexposure, just did it in a minute.

Everyone needs a Fire, a good Chair and a stuffed Boar's head. True innit?

Lol I need a Boar head! Yeh it was all done professionally and was recommended to me by a few of the old timers around me who are into rallying themselves. I don't know how it has affected the value of it, but to be honest I have no plans to sell it anyway. It's not the sort of engine you can go out for a nice sunday cruise around back roads with. It can not stay at a steady speed you always have to be on and off the throttle.
 
I'm feeling a littl emasculated if I'm honest :oops: :$

At the end of 2009 I moved into a flat of my own....... black glass and chrome as far as the eye could see :LOL:

In 2011 my GF moved in with me and that when things started to change..... pointless trinkets appearing on shelves, more cushion on the sofa and even some completely pointless ones on the bed that just get taken off at night and put back on in the morning..... WTF is that all about?

We got married in 2012 and moved into a 3 bed house in March last year..... OMG!!! Let's just say she's gone a little nuts making the house look "pretty". There isn't one room that hasn't got some kind of heart hanging up, they're even hanging from some of my surround sound speakers :eek:

Not only are there pointless cushions on our bed, there are more on the spare bed too :jawdrop:

The only saving grace is that (provided I keep the cables out of sight) I'm allowed to have my 7.1 surround sound, games consoles and associated A/V stuff in the lounge.

My aim in the next 5-10 years is to have a nice big man cave built at the bottom of the garden...... just seems such a long way off right now :(

In my last house I got a local shed builder to produce a 10x12 foot wooden shed for me. Cost £450 delivered and about another £100 wiring it..... I was my real man cave and it was at the bottom of the garden away from the rest of the maddening hordes in the house LOL

And my favourite part of my business - my Dyno cell.

If I had one of them I'd never get anything done as I'd always be playing! Last time I took one of my cars to be set up, the operator went to the garage next door and got all the mechanics out, saying "come and listen to this, that engines' out of an old Imp and it's doing over NINE THOUSAND revs" (you could hear the capitals in his voice :p )

The last time i took my car i thought they was going to blow it up. Damn did they rev it :mad:
 
 
I used to work at Anglepoise they are good lights but some consider them expensive.

No idea :lol: they are the builders.


Sadly the biggest screen in my man room will be 24" :(
 
I have 3 man caves that I use primarily for PS4/PS3 gaming and watching flicks. They just so happen to be in my front room, bedroom and office! My partner and I both enjoy them, so there's no need for anywhere to 'escape' to. :D

Main cave:

Could have cloned the wires out on the speakers though ;)

Is that in a flat? Get many complaints from the neighbours?

It's a top floor flat indeedy, with only one neighbour beneath us and none either side, which is a touch. The old girl downstairs hasn't complained yet (in 9 years), so she's either a bit mutton or too polite lol!
 
Ashamed to say it i know but my cleaner has just finished cleaning the house and i can guarantee that come 4.00 'POW' it will be back to bedlam!! Hay ho that's what you get from having a 2 and 5 year old. (gota love em tho)

Just out of curiosity do you feel as though the tv is the focal point of your living room? :D
