UNLIKE THE HOME STAR TREK COMMAND CONSOLE...:

The Thunderbirds garage (Sri Carmichael, 24.03.09, Evening Standard)

DEEP beneath Tracy Island, somewhere in the Pacific, International Rescue's rocket-powered craft lie ready to emerge from their hidden hangars.

But this sort of hi-tech subterranean concept is no longer the sole preserve of the Tracy family and their fleet of Thunderbirds - you too can park futuristically, if you have £50,000 to spare.

The garage, which pops up" from underneath a garden, has become the latest home-improvement craze. It uses a hydraulic platform and can be hidden under a water feature, flowerbed, or patch of gravel - or a second car.

...duplicating Tracy Island would be totally cool.
