Show Your Mercedes Garage Setup!

I am sure some of you guys have the ultimate workshop setup for working on your Mercedes-Benz.

I'd like to see everyone's decked out garage with Mercedes banners, vintage MBZ art, flags, lights, cars, etc.

Looking to compile some garage setups here, share your pics!

Out here in Southern CA most people don't put their Cars in a garage. Garages are full of you accumulated stuff or part of your living space.
Working on a car is done in the Driveway.

I usually work on my 300D's in the driveway for minor things, or move to a side RV driveway behind the fence for extensive work. It is usually nicer working outside since better lighting and more room, and rain is infrequent and predictable in CA. My garage currently has 2 1960's Mopar cars which have been sitting too long, with parts stored all under and on top of them. Wifey wants me to move one out so she can park in the garage, but that would eliminate a parking spot since couldn't park in the driveway behind her. 7 cars and a camping trailer and spot for 1 more vehicle. Should sell the trailer since wifey now refuses to use it. I know what you're thinking - get rid of the ...

Who is stealing. Perhaps we can ostracise since no ban.

My humble shop space. Probably not what people are hoping to see.



This is the outdoor area with proverbial “shade tree”.

That may soon be changing with the growing cat converter theft.

I don't have a garage so all the work on my w126 depends on the weather

When the weather is nice I actually prefer working outside. Living in the middle of the woods I have so many "shade trees" I can hardly see the sun when the sky is clear
