That's where it started when she was helping me in cavern, So I made a shelf / bench out of some work top and the spare gearbox's so now its a 2 tier pile of parts *smiley*

Part hoarders haha. I don't have any spare mini parts really as I'm new to it all but my work van is usually full of things that 'might come in handy' one day. But they day I have a clear out I get rid of something that has been on there for months and never used I need it :(. Garage wise, if you can't fit a car in there anymore, it's too much!

You do! Most of those parts are mine atm! The only thing I think I will have spare parts wise is a gear knob and a steering wheel. Oh and a spare spare wheel *tongue*

my answer is you can never have enuogh parts cos 1 day you will need a bit but when you're renting half a trading estate that may be proof of a bit of OCD

as prices of mini stuff continues to rocket, I tend to pick up what I can when it is a good deal. I suppose the line has gto be drawn when you are spending more money storing said stuff than getting benefit of it. Probably not an issue if you keep it at home or in the garage with the car but when you end up renting somewhere bigger just to keep stuff.........

Well I can tell you my lock up is only costing me £20 a month and that's where I keep the car so its not costing loads.

Yes Rob that's the thing prices just keep going up its shocking the price of some of the stuff.
