Welcome aboard Norville! Will you be using your 992 as a daily driver? In the snow? Ferdinand Porsche famously said "Our cars are meant to be driven, not polished" so he'd be thrilled to hear that.
Garage looks good and seems to have everything you need. Just need to clear out some of that pesky garden equipment to make room for velvet ropes around the car.

I have my leased BMW M550 for another three months, so that’ll get me through the worst of this season . After that it will be my daily. My wife has a Grand Cherokee (with Hakkas) if it’s too deep for the 911.
Just did a little more cleaning up today. This is it’s temporary home, makes more sense to keep the 550 in the attached garage until its departure. That garage isn’t that much nicer, but it is heated

Welcome aboard Thorsten! Great to have folks here from Germany -- especially those with great taste in cars. Looking forward to see pics and hearing more about them. Love your 420SEC too. If you poke around here a bit, you'll see I often go off-topic to report on the various projects I'm doing on my 450SL.
