Extremely Useless Book: I was very dissappointed in this book. I rec'd it for Christmas and actually asked my wife to send it back. It a pictoral of 'showrooms' (not garages) of the filthy rich. Cars that nobody but the owner can afford. Hardly a tool can be found. I was looking for a book that would help be design or build a very 'usable' functioning garage for the space I had. There is nothing normal or useful in this book. Sorry.
Ultimate Garages: This is a great book, of classic cars and garages. While the cars and garages may be unrealistic for most, it gives us ALL something to dream about and strive for... Great photo's and great descriptions about 13 grown boys addictions; their cars and their respective garages.
Dream garages for car/bike lovers: Like exotic McLaren F1s, Italian supercars, Porsches, etc., the garages of the rich and famous are equally exotic in materials, size and construction. Not many of us who are car crazy will ever have a garage like the ones in the book but then again, something normal wouldn't be inspirational. There are slightly less exotic garages also included in the book but millionaire garage or not, all of them house historic, exciting automobiles and motorcycles and are an inspiration to all of us who aspire be the best at what we do with our much loved motorised possessions.
Ultimate Garages and Stories: More than just garages, this book tells wonderful stories about the car nuts, their automobiles and the garages that house them. It gives you an idea why guys like Jay Leno have built their garages and how their obsessions with the automobile developed. After receiving this book as gift, I have greatly enjoyed Ultimate Garages by Phil Berg and have given three books as gifts to friends. I just ordered, and am looking forward to, Ultimate Garages II also by Phil Berg. I did get Motor City Dream Garages and have not enjoyed it as much as the original Ultimate Garages.
