I want to see that! Really cool. Showroom and shop.

Very nice garage. I'm a Griots Guy myself and I couldn't turn a wrench if my life depended on it. Looks like you may his micro fiber towels - best I've ever used. I love the Panamera and I drive a 928 S4 so it kind of makes sense. I also have an air cooled 79 SC. I'm looking to for lettering, where did you find yours?

As Richard always says, Have Fun In your Garage!

For what it's worth, I'm terrible at any kind of detailing/waxing.

Hi Andy.
Thanks. Well spotted on the towels. Most of them are indeed Griots. Excellent towels, especially the drying towels. I also use the orbitals. If you have a black car you really must try Blackfire if you haven't already. It's a game changer. I'll PM you the lettering info.

EDIT: I spent most of Sunday cleaning and re-organizing the Man Cave and garage. Porsche letters have been ordered. Thanks for the link; ebay # 2712799466925 for those interested.

I see a re-paint in my future. Again, that's a really nice job!

That may be the most tastefully done Porsche garage I've ever seen. Nicely done!

Mine is probably more along the lines of Reiver's...he and I could be cellmates.

Thanks Jack.
Although to be fair; if I was on Porsche #21 I might not have gotten to the garage overhaul yet either

LOL...Well, that's partly the case although I've been very fortunate to at least recover my investment on all but one of the 21 ex-Porsches over the past 40+ years of playing with them. It's been a lot of fun.

Now that I finally have my dream Porsche the time has come to do some serious remodeling on the ol' Mid-Century Modern, instead of spending $$ on cars and car parts.

Thanks ECS. I guess patience is key, although not always easily applied

The garage is beautiful. Did you have the concrete floor polished and sealed, or apply a grey epoxy floor paint ? I like the polished concrete with a clear seal, and have been using this process in office and warehouse construction . A 911 or 930 will look perfect next to your Panamera !

Garage looks fantastic. I am also a huge Griots fan. Any info on blackfire would be appreciated. Also interested in the Letters.

Thanks
