What are some good quality brands for two post lifts? Should be able to buy the brand in Europe too. I want to read up on my options.

Challenger has been around a long time , they are based in Louisville Kentucky . I bought a used Challenger 2 post 7000 lb rated lift 10 years ago and it's still going strong . Zero issues to date . For $900.00 it may be the best tool I have ever purchased . I installed it myself with the help of a friend .

Make sure your concrete floor is at least 4 " thick or thicker . When I was planning my man cave garage I poured the slab 6 " thick . Where the jack posts are mounted it is 10 " thick in a 3 ' x 3 ' area. I doubt I will ever have any issues due to a lack of strength

Did a major rearrangement of the garage last weekend. Wound up with a “much more organized mess” (to quote my wife). But, sarcasm aside, I can find stuff now, and all three Germans are snug and safe from smog.

The garage and the cars look (and are) awesome. Definitely organized - well done!

My new favorite post in this thread.

Great looking garage and may I express my congratulations on having such superlative color selection on your Cayman GTS!

New addition to the parking garage.

I always like these old gas pumps, so I decided to build a cabinet that looks like one.

Had some boxes sitting.


Did some cutting and joined them together.


Made some doors and found the globe for the top.


Now some paint.


I found an old nozzle on ebay, took it apart and blasted and painted it.




Here after finishing the whole thing.


The crank at the right side operates the light switch for the globe and meter display.


Cheers

So very cool Englebert! Your creativity knows no bounds - I like it!
