A shed for our car
We bought our Porsche over two years ago but due ot lack of space it has been stored at a staff members house in Toowoomba (140 km away). Consequently Ferdinand is a "garage queen" and has only done 3000 km in two years.
So we decided to build a shed and bring him home. At least then I can work on my air conditioning project and also fit the short shift kit that has been languishing in the cupbaord for 8 months. These first photos show Ferdinand at his Toowoomba "home" As you can see the people looking after him love cars too! It is an original Studebaker.

Ferdinand looks happy as a bull in a pasture. What is that large cylindrical object?

Driveway
We live in the western suburbs of Brisbane and our driveway is 120 metres long, dirt and sloping. Our block is 2 acres but there is very little flat area on the block. Therefore we were faced with some major leveling and stabilisation work before we could put in a garage. This is where it started.

The large cylinder is a water tank. Believe it or not we were in drought (as I write this I am working in Townsville and cut off by floodwaters. Townsville is 1200 km from home)

Beautiful car, looks like mine except for the tail. Always great to see another local car here on Pelican.
