The garage of my dreams

 For 14 years from 2008 to 2022 I owned the garage of my dreams. It was a four car garage under my home in Terrigal, New South Wales, Australia.

 

It was wonderful working space-home to our two everyday cars and my two Porsches. And when I wanted to work on the Porsches I just reversed the everyday cars out onto the wide driveway.

The walls were covered with vintage Porsche and motorsport posters and photos as well as trophies from my motoring life.

I spent many happy hours down in the garage often just polishing and tinkering with the Porsches or sometimes on serious preparation work for a rally, a track event or just a social run. 

 

 

I acquired the first Porsche, the yellow 2.7 in 2000 and the 2 litre in 2008. Sadly at the end of 2020 with my wife in the last stage of a terminal illness I decided to sell the 2.7. 

Through the horrible Covid year of 2021 the silver car rarely turned a wheel and with my changed circumstances in 2022 I decided to downsize my home and put my Porsche days behind me and so I sold the second Porsche.

In the great clearout for the house sale the vintage posters and other items were given to friends although I kept a few special items.

Now I only have a two car garage and the cars it houses-both EVs- are not candidates for home tinkering. However I do have a few photos as momentos of many happy hours in that wonderful garage.
