Man caves became quite the trend at the start of the 21st century. You could even find magazines on the newsstands dedicated to them. And they certainly have their appeal: cosy little hideaways to put all your stuff that the spouse would rather not see cluttering up the house.
Perhaps the biggest problem with man caves and typical suburban garages is that they’re limited in size and scope. What if the ‘stuff’ you collect isn’t model cars and car magazines, but actual cars? Sure, over the years we’ve featured some impressive car collections in big garages and sheds, but this is probably the first time you’ll have seen one housed within a distribution warehouse!
Taking up residence in the back corner of Go Logistics’ distribution centre in Sydney, business partners and good friends Peter Violaris and Jim Raptis have spent the past handful of years buying and building tough cars to cruise and race in. They wrench on them after hours and never have to worry about running out of space.
“Jim and I started Go Logistics 15 years ago and have known each other almost 20,” Peter says. “Our business requires a lot of space and has done for the past decade or so. We both have very limited space at home, so keeping the cars here just made sense.”
The warehouse isn’t just a storage facility; it also houses everything the crew (joined by friend and colleague Stephen Davies) need to work on the various vehicles, including your typical hand and power tools, a hoist and plenty of bench space. At present, the collection numbers six, and Peter and Jim show no signs of stopping any time soon.
