GREAT looking setup! Enjoy the heck out of it! :thumbsup:thumbsup

I would assume it's "detached"?

If so, you're fortunate to live where you do. Our local code says 800 sq ft MAX...unless a variance is 'approved' by ones neighbors (essentially)...well, good luck with that here. ('Been-there-tried-that several years ago.)

:facepalm:

Not yet but soon. He is a serious Nascar fan.
Ya might wanna think twice about having Rob Ford over there - you know, with his issues with crack and uttering death threats lately...just sayin...he ain't the most popular mayor around these days eh!

Here ya go, a tribute to your city, not that mine's better...LOL

EP it is attached to the house via the main garage. up here you can build up to 25% of the lot area. I actually could build up to 33,000 sq.ft of house and or garage. I have more land to the rear and east of the house.

Hey roketman, thx. The GT40 is a CAV from South Africa. It was the first one in Canada and Ford of Canada used it as part of their display at the Toronto International Auto Show when they announced the GT for Canada. They had it parked beside a blue with white GT.
It is for sure a recreation but 95% accurate to 1075. 48 IDA webbers, RBT transaxle, right hand drive, right hand shift, dual fuel tanks in the door sills, correct decals and 40 inches tall. Also been featured in number of magazines.
Wow ,thats cool! my favorite redos are the ones with the true to period right hand drive.
I may be doing a race next summer at Mosport.If so I am going to try to find time (if thats ok by you) to vista the man castle in person!

Hi jamie140 good for you. That is my development that I started. How long have you lived there? I am a little farther to the west.

Love for a rally to be up here in the Toronto area and make a stop in Burlington about 30 minutes west of Toronto!!!

Angelo,
How does one get around out building(man cave garage) restriction. Got approval for footprint. Have a 14' height restriction. It would look silly with such as low roof line peak.
House roof height would be approx. 29'

Trust me when I tell you that, in the end, it likely won't be "restrictions" that shoot your project down (if it is shot down).

It'll be your so called 'neighbors'. :bored
