If you look at the bottom of this page--
http://sparky.i989.net/legop5.htm
I have two white bottoms. That said, I also have a grey bottom as well. No
idea where the grey bottoms came from. I've been told that the white bottom
came from the Garage set so that's how I built it. I have 3 garage doors and
they're all red.
Since I learned my lesson last time, I'll not say where these 'garage
baseplates' originated from. ;)
