If you look closely, not that you'd want to, at my garage you'll see the same sign hanging on the stairs next to the Porsche crest.... it's funny cause it's true.

Orient:
How did you get the car on all four jackstands? I know you can use a central jacking point in the rear, but there doesn't seem to be anything on the front.

Hey Moogle, you gota understand something. My garage was built in 1815 so it tends to look a bit shody. But that's the celanest it has ever been. You should have seen it last week!

Hmmm....1815....
I wonder if the owner was overseas burning down white houses at the time

First raise the car using the rear lift point next to the rear wheel. Lift up the car high enough to get the jack stand under the front lift point. Next do the same for the other side.

Next lift the car from the center of the engine case behind the sump cover, and put the remaining 2 stands on the rear lift points.

Scouser I just checked out your car.

Are "Air conditioning, Climate control, Automatic Breaking System, and Air bags" RoW factory options?

Also where did you get the mount for your iPod, that looks great.


Andy that garage is just plain SiCk

Wow! Being new here I've never seen Andy's garage. I'm currently getting underway with building a new home and I have some new great ideas from both Andy's and Kevin's Garages. Very impressive! My son and I have been dreaming of a garage/shop with the chequered floor.

Hey Andy,

What kind of tiles are those? I need to do something in my garage because the concrete gets very dangerous when wet and since we are in Chicago, that means salt, slush, snow and other wet stuff on the ground. Does it get slick when wet? How about the maintanence and cleanup.

Thanks
Bobby
