workshop share near southampton

Post by davemk1gti » 05 May 2010 08:34 pm

I am lucky enough to have a 24' x 24' or 8m x 8m (approx) workshop that I rent. It has an engine hoist, welder, grinders, spanners and all other mechanics tools in there. - spring compressors - pretty much evert tool required to 'fix up' a car

I have had it for a few years now and I rent it on a quiet farm near Romsey. I had it becasue I used to run my car business from it (restoring and selling old bimemers and vdubs) - well I no longer do that and have a regular 'proper job' as my other half says. which means with the arrival of our daughter as well in December that I dont use it very much.

well anyone that has ever tried to rent a place like this will know that it is a very expensive thing to do - even getting a place is hard enough. - I cannot justify the expenditure on my own as we are down to one income in the house hold

As a result I am offering the use of my workshop and all its tools along with a permanent 'parking place' within it plus a spare space in an open barn that I rent behind it.

all of this for the sum of £150 per month.

you will need to be reliable, pay on time, respectful to the farmer who I rent it from, not drive round the farm like a loon and be honest as the tools are worth a small fortune and I above all will need to trust you. I will likely ask for a deposit due to this - this will be kept by a third party.

this is how it looks at the moment - the volvo will be the only one of mine in there by the time its ready to share.

Good effort offering it up here... I struggled to find a lockup, nevermind something like this and I know a couple of others pay nearly that a month for similar storage without any of the facilities you have. Good luck with it :)

lol, I already do more miles in my 300 a year than you do in the S70 :lol:

I showed this to my housemate last night, but I'm not convinced he has the spare pennies right now either. I've a feeling thats got something to do with the increasing number of small block parts that seem to be in my lounge :lol:

Yeah I've got to be honest, my 300 was reliable up to a point but lately it's been terrible. 3/5 times because I broke it but still :)

Aye, I did borrow the odd car! New insurance doesn't give me 3rd party though so it's now super reliable (I hope)
