Don't tempt me! I am seriously considering a retirement home in Florida.

Wow, you guys know how to live! Spare a thought for those of us in "Lil Ole England"! Our Vette lives in a "lock-up" about 2 miles from home, no power or light there, so all the jobs we (my wife and I) do (rear suspension re-build, bearings, UJs, radiator and damper changes, PS rebuilds etc etc) all have to be done in the cold, with flashlights.... SO much fun! I know UKPaul is in a similar position. We're Sooo envious of you guys! But, I am moving house soon, and will have a basement garage....maybe no money to use the Vette, but it will be at home!

HA!! My basement is so full of parts, that I'm putting the whole thing on Ebay as a "parts lot". :D Add a workshop, laundry area and home gym to the that space, and we're talking a shovel is needed to clear a walking path through.
