Toronto Sun, October 14, 2006
“The color photography alone is worth the price of this book, and just looking at the pictures will send you running for your notebook to jot down ideas and items you’ll want in your garage … There’s something for everybody who dreams of an ultimate garage in this book.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate Garages, February 20, 2004

By	"gbradybuck" (Charlotte, NC USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ultimate Garages (Hardcover)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dream garages for car/bike lovers, December 19, 2004

By	Nicholas Gomez "www.bikervoodoo.com" (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Ultimate Garages (Hardcover)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Useless Book, December 26, 2005

By	dewfpo "dewfpo" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ultimate Garages (Hardcover)

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.
