    Amazing Mike. You are indeed very blessed to have such a beautiful collection. The only thing I think I would do different myself is have the new Drophead Phantom instead of your white monster...

    Yes, have to agree here, I am even more envious of your garages than you cars!! I assume that the poor Porsche and your 'other half' of cars have to sleep outside though

    Another one who is more envious of your garage than your car collection! Actually I would love your car collection too.

    Nothing extroardinary: when you buy a new car, don't sell the old one, that's it

    Very nice pic Mike, nicer in the dark

    Isn't the 997 too ordinary in such a stable (no offense to 997 owners)?

    Those are great, Mike!

    The second pic is my favorite: the 997S... as the centerpiece.

    Already own a super-car, so a super-garage is now very high on the agenda!

    Hi Dimitri,
    I still get goosebumps everytime I start her up! She's feeling a lot stronger now that its more run in - I always overtake in 6th gear, not necessary to gear down at all

    I'd be very interested in seeing how your house is designed with the amount of garages that you have, but I do of course realize posting a blueprint of your house in SA won't be the smartest thing to do..

    But perhaps you might cast some light on this question instead, whether all your garages are connected to your house our not?



    I've got a few driveways to my house - the property which it is on is getting smaller and smaller each year so I just keep adding on - thats why I don't have all my garages in 1 driveway.

    Thanks! Not to worry - every single 1 of them is stored in a garage. I will not leave any of them outside for even 1 night.

    The 997 is still a thrill to drive - something about being rear engined is what makes it so special. Would not trade it even for the TT at this stage, enjoying it too much.

    I must say that I do very much miss my old black C2S Cab, it's a very special car
