🛠️ Gearhead’s Garage Tour (Image Drop) ⚙️

“From busted knuckles to keyboard clicks – here’s where all my paychecks go.”

📸 Group Shot – The Line-Up at Golden Hour

[Image: Gearhead stands confidently in the middle of his four cars, mug in hand, golden hour sun glowing over a fan-shaped arrangement: Maserati Spyder, Audi S3, Range Rover, and the Panther De Ville.]

There she is: the full stable. Four cars, four stories, one stubborn idiot holding it all together.

Each one’s been picked for a reason — daily, dirty, dramatic, and downright ridiculous.

Let’s break them down…

⸻

🚗 1. Daily – Audi S3 (2023, RHD)

[Image: Black Audi S3 parked neatly in front of a brick suburban home.]

Clean. Fast. Unassuming.

My everyday cruiser. Quattro grip, DSG pop, and just enough attitude to make rush hour bearable.

Tuned? Not yet. I promised myself I’d leave one car alone. For now.

🛠 Mods so far:

– Milltek res delete

– Spacers

– Subtle badge delete

– Spotify premium (mandatory)

Parked outside, always spotless — until I forget and Twunk borrows it.

❄️ 2. Winter Wagon – L322 Range Rover TDV8

[Image: Mud-splashed Range Rover parked on a dirt track near a farm gate.]

The tractor in a tux.

Picked this one up as a winter workhorse and she’s been bulletproof (by old Land Rover standards).

She drinks like a sailor and rides like a waterbed, but she pulls through. Every. Damn. Time.

💡 Bonus:

– Heated everything

– Rear seats so comfy my mates fall asleep

– Smells faintly of dogs and WD-40

⸻

💨 3. Fun Car – 2004 Maserati Spyder Cambiocorsa

[Image: Red convertible Maserati sparkling under golden sunlight.]

This one? She’s loud. In sound, in looks, and in attitude.

Ferrari-sourced V8, the Cambiocorsa gearbox that loves and hates you in equal measure, and drop-top drama for the weekends.

Every drive is either magic or mildly catastrophic.

💬 Current issues:

– Parking sensors scream for no reason

– Glovebox opens when it feels like it

– I love her anyway

⸻

🛠️ 4. Project Car – 1976 Panther De Ville (RHD)

[Image: Black and white Panther De Ville resting in a moody garage with warm lighting.]

This one’s my legacy project.

Only ~60 ever made. Coachbuilt British madness powered by a 4.2L Jaguar XK engine and styled like something Cruella would crash on the way to a gala.

Restoring it bolt-by-bolt. No shortcuts, no off-the-shelf fixes.

It’s a long-haul project, but she’s worth every scar on my hands.

⸻

📸 Throwback: Me at 19 in the Pit

[Image: A younger, skinnier Gearhead in greasy overalls, focused, worn-out, working over an engine with serious concentration.]

This was me before I moved to IT. No beard. No sleep. No idea what overtime pay was.

Trained mechanic straight out of school — 16 through 24 — then made the switch when my back started complaining and I realised I actually liked servers and soldering.

Still miss those days in the pit. Still do my own wrenching when I can. It’s how I stay grounded.

⸻

🔧 TL;DR:

– Four cars

– Two hands

– One mug of coffee (always)

– And about 3 hours of sleep on project nights

Follow for garage shots, rants about Italian electrics, and the occasional server meltdown
