Milou,
Are you going to the Literature Meet in LA?
Perhaps we can meet.

Fantastic, cool doors, kingpost construction which I have not seen in a long time, a TL125, a nice big ditch to irritate the missus, and a fine Porsche collection (are you on Rennlist, btw?)!

 

[gibthekid]

This is always a good place to get inspired by what others do...Just beautiful.
...now, out to my garage.

I love posing the question to those with multiple cars...if you had to pick one...which one?

 

[milou]

Not on Rennlist unfortunately, but yes a Honda TL125, Ihatovo, one-owner, and pretty much still brand new. Short geared but beautifully minimalist in its design and execution.

I never get tired of this space, I spend most of my weekends in there, nothing like having your own man cave full of things you collected and love:













If I had to keep only one...it would be the slate gray 2.2 S ex Jo Siffert car, but I really enjoy them all, they each have something special I can "connect" with:



Rich, I look forward to meeting you at the Lit & Toy show (Can't wait to see those Porsche table sets)

 

[356vintage]

Your memorabilia is way cool, over the top!
See you in LA!
Rich

Magnifique.

 

[exc911ence]

Your garage is a work of art! Very impressive.

Where is a good place to get reproductions of old posters?

 

[milou]

On Ebay you can find good reproduction posters but the size will usually be smaller and the quality of the paper will not be the same.

Original ones can be purchased at vpracing.com:

DAYUMMM, that is all i can saw. I love this garage and im only a teen and im already dreaming up my future garage. Dont you think the Porsche is a little to close to that NOX Porsche sign? Its not easily replaceable, so be careful

 

[abstamaria]

Where have all the photos gone? All have been replaced, at least on my computer, with a frog in an ice cube and the message "domain unregistered ..."

 

[milou]

I know, it's very close, but I'm running out of space!



The images still show on my computer, not sure what happened...

 

[AlchemyMetalworks]

LOVE the transaxle cutaway! Where did you find it?

 

[milou]

It was done in the early Sixties by a Porsche apprentice at the factory. I found it at a Porsche Swap meet in Germany. From the numbers, it's a Porsche 356 Carrera gearbox:

 

[AlchemyMetalworks]

Gearboxes are something of a passion of mine. We have a family of transaxles coming out this year...one of which will be getting it's baptism-by-fire in a racing series

 

[abstamaria]

Very strange. The thumbnails don't show on my computer, just the frog. If I click on the frog, the picture opens in another page, but there is no preview of the picture. I only have this problem with this thread. The other threads seem all right. Hmmm.

But wonderful garage and fantastic cars, Milou.

Andres,

Check this link to the thread I initially posted on the 911s registry, perhaps the images are visible:

Another fun picture:

 

[garageking]

love the porcelain switches,maybe i found my problem,i collect too big of stuff,big cadillacs and harleys,i could probably get stuff to fit in my garage if i collect smaller cars,hehe

 

[MG30]

Amazing garage...
It will inspire me a lot.

I'll also find a 1969 911S that "fits" me.

 

[Gearbanger]

This is the latest project, a 1965 911 complete but in need of restoration, it's number 492. it's Aga blue, a great color:

Very nice garage!

Have you detailed the restoration of this 911 anywhere?

 

[sscustom]

awsome

 

[Domel]

incredible garage please update this thread

 

[skibovr6]

As a former RGruppe member, BRAVO!

 

[johnnybentwrench]

Not to shabby. I like it

 

[993James993]

Thanks,

I sincerely hope that the garage translates my passion for early 911 and Porsche period memorabilia rather than a question of money spent

Here is some recent news:

A rare Porsche dealership sign from the Sixties in NOS condition, including its original crate, I really love its design:

We enrolled the 911 S/T in the 2010 Coupe des Alpes, a rallye through the Alpes over 3 days driving from Evian to Cannes:

Please post an update and photos of the Aga blue car!

Hi everyone,

The new project is the restoration of a one owner 912 from 1966 I purchased in Monterey in 2010. Here are the latest progress:

 

[milou]

Not sure where I'll park it....

 

[milou]

I also finished the restoration of this 1968 911S, matching numbers and original Polo red, a phenomenal car, short wheel base chassis, and a high revving engine with Weber carbs:

 

[speedracer]

Wow, looking good!

 

[OZChris]

What a cool garage Great job

 

[skibovr6]

I had a 66 that was a barn find. Sold it before I could complete it.

 

[skibovr6]

This was my baby

 

[skibovr6]

Awesome pics please post more!

 

[Scout Driver]

Excellent garage and beautiful cars! One of my favorite garages on the GJ. Love seeing all of the memorabilia and accessories with the cars.

[PrecisionTools]

Awesome stuff. A true commitment to the manufacturer.

 

[Jim Richards]

I just read this thread. Wow.

 

[milou]

Not sure I posted these before. They were taken by a car magazine photographer a few years ago:

This is great! Thanks for posting this.

I know that several years ago a lot of europeans were buying early rust free cars in California and taking them back overseas, so much that these cars are becoming harder to find in the US. Is this still the case? In any event I doubt this car could have found a better owner!
