Obsessive compulsive over your vehicle? Somehow it's hard for me to get that way over my Toyota Tundra plain Jane, but if you need new digs for that beauty you own then check out the Maserati garage design competition.

Small world, I've done work on several other projects with the architect who did the tent / garage for the red Mini!

Well I think this a a very attractive design. I'd boot the mini out and put my studio in it

Design and Craftsmanship.
It is probably fitting to acknowledge that it has been a part of the human condition forever.

There are not many who do not know about the beautiful 17,000 year old cave art at Lascaux France.
