Default Jaguar/leaper garage wall decal

I ordered this a week ago from the US to finish off my garage wall and it arrived today. Sticking it to the wall was a breeze, although removing the backing paper called for a steady hand and a lot of patience. $25 or thereabouts on eBay. Many colours available; I went with low-key silver.

My garage is basically a shrine to what I hold dearest: a photo of an Aston Martin DBS on the right (saving hard for that!), my XKR in the centre and my lovely wife on the left

Given the fact that I already hate you... I can say I hate you a little more now that you have that great looking wall behind your great looking car.

If you ever wake up one morning and find your garage and car missing... might be a good idea to start your search in Canada.

Sweet!

I like the Jag decal and the pic of the Aston, too!

I forgot to mention that I tell everyone who sees my garage in person that I was inspired by what you guys do in the US (and Canada too, probably, though I've never been there). You consider your garage as a room, part of the house, whereas here in Europe garages are usually pokey, dirty, uncared for and full of junk.

Nice decal. What kind of search did you do on e-bay to find this decal? I can't seem to find it on e-bay. Maybe nobody has them for sale at the moment.

No Frog, I think the bottom picture is a common garage... the top is more or less a very, very well kept/expensive garage setup.

An artistic eye and a refined perspective. Since you have already shared a few of your very good decisions in life, what is your recommendation on an exceptional French Penot Noir?

Well, I guess I can tell Diana we have a European garage ...
At least I now have something to aspire to.

Thanks for all your positive comments (my wife was also very flattered ).

Although I have seen messy garages in the US, I have NEVER seen one of those utra clean/expensive garages here in Europe.

Well, then you haven't been at the right addresses!
I've seen a couple of very nice and clean spacious garages in Holland.

I see you're in Monaco. I bet there are some super nice garages there, if you know who to ask.

I am afraid that, despite having lived over here in France for 25 years, I am still pretty ignorant when it comes to fine wine. I leave all that to the wife and her family; it's in their blood
