loll true Craft, when the idiotic brother bought a mini it tucked into the corner, dad had most of the room for his car :-D
not so much a garage - stone built and no doors. OH's car (mine is deemed to ancient and not worth it) tractor mower, v arious garden tools, cement blocks (don't know why they are being kep dry), piglet and sow dividers - also made of concrete blocks, weed sprayer on wheels and one as a back pak, cans of petrol for various tools, ie bush cutter, chainsaw, etc., reels of wire netting for fencing and on the beams 3 nests for swallows that get reused evey year and which mean that the garage is out of use for virtually the whole of the summer, unless you want to get dive-bombed.
I converted mine to a workshop. The walls are covered in tools and on the floor is a electric saw, lathe, planer and router[rowter not rooter] a large bench and pedestal drill. Assorted timber is stored in the rafters and there is a radio to keep me company.
I wouldn't have a clue whats in our garage. I haven't been in it for about three years. I'm pretty sure there is just a car in there, though. Might check at some point!
Upstairs in the garage, a double bed, a two sweater sofa, babies pram (bought it today for daughter, got a great bargain, but she wants me to store it.). Shelving containing half empty tins of paint and loads of other stuff, boxes of photographs and I don't know what else because I don't go up there. Downstairs, three motor cross bikes, one BMW bike, one quad bike, oh, child's Motorcross bike, one car, two massive tool boxes, more shelving units and a double sink and drainer, and various tools etc, my car has to stay on the drive. Son in law and the tenants have taken over the garage.
I knew a police sergeant once who moved into a police house, put shelving up all round three sides of the garage which he then loaded up with tins of paint, among other things, then put his car in the garage and went to bed.
About an hour later he heard an almighty crash. He knew what had happened so left it until the next morning before he investigated.
All the shelving had come down on top of the car, tins of paint had opened up and the car, walls and floor were covered in different coloured paints.
I've got several double glazed window panes in my garage, plus some window frames, some scaffolding, a mattress and 3 years worth of company job files.

Oh and spiders. A lot of spiders.
I no longer put in the obvious car, or indeed any other one. Standard width garages are too narrow, reversing in is an act that needs care as is opening the door. So that stays on the drive.

The garage is a combined workshop/storage area. (Too much of the latter usually :-( I tend to have too much stuff but hate lavishly slinging perfectly good stuff like I had no care for it's creation. I don't believe in a throw away, once once and discard society)
I have a lot of my old kitchen units in the garage, I use them to store all sorts, including pots and pans that I don't have room for in the new kitchen.

Part of my garage has been converted into a bird aviary for my parrots.

Also in there is an exercise bike, an ordinary bike, several tubs of bird seed and several bags of coal. That's all that immediately comes to mind. There'll be lots of other stuff in there, I'm sure.
Two artificial Christmas trees, an electric bandsaw, multifarious tools and enough fishing tackle to start a shop. Car sits outside in the drive.
