Well after long time i have wanted it, the dream came true..
After I arranged the fence to be replaced, there was some space available to put my new workshop at. The deal with my parents was i lend them money( they were saving for anniversary trip to maldives) and they allow me to put the workshop.
About two years ago we got ourselves a summer house, if u can call it that, so we can put some chairs and table there to hang out in summer. that turned into storage( for my car stuff mainly.)
and there was not enough space really as there were two ladders, four chairs, table, lawn mawer and all sort of stuff.
anyway, my dad ordered a metal shed of size 4 foot by 8 foot.
took three weeks to arrive  but i got it assembled on my own in 7 hours in rain ;D
next step was to make the bench and some shelves.. the only materials i had were... the old fence we took down... so i had plenty of planks and good nails...
here are some pics aswell:
summer house.
now inside(not cleaned up yet, and it my dads project now, said he will do a corner bench and it gonna be awesome ;D ;D)
this is what my shed looks like:
inside
i'm most proud of the bench and it is really solid i have to say.. all is left to do now is to get a job and get myself a project ;D

that is my point 
if i wanted to do anything car related i never had the space.. also all the tools were all over the place, now i know were everything is...
and it really is not as small as it looks...
i am 176cm tall and can stand under the lowest point of this builing and not touch the ceiling with my head.

That's cool though mate, everyone with a decent tool kit needs a shed imo 
My workshop is generally the driveway/the road

that what i had all the time..
when engine went on my car, i had cyl head, intake manifold in the footwells, exhaust manifold on back seat, tool in the boot, buts and bolts over the floor, new engine in the back garden on the grass, replacing cambelt on grass wasnt nice..
it still a dream for me to get a proper workshop where i car get the car and be able to work around it, but its gonna be when i will get my own place, so this is good enough for me for now, especially when i had nothing before...

The rest of us call them SHED's
shed - a small, roughly made building used for storing garden tools
workshop - a room or building where manufacturing or other manual work is carried on
in my "workshop" no garden tools are stored, and manual work will be carried out, so technically its a workshop..
