“It has all started 20 years ago with a 993 Carrera 4S. My first Porsche, upgraded with Turbo aerokit and bucket seats, which I drove over 170,000 kilometers in 6 years.”⁠

Today, the family collection is all about the rare and remarkable, with three consecutive anniversary editions and eye-catching colors: Lime Green on an early 911T, Maritime Blue on a 968 CS, and a one-off PTS Lemon Yellow 993 Turbo. ⁠

“As a proper household member, each car gets its own nickname, which we often invent together,” Tomek adds.⁠

But above all, these cars are meant to be driven. Luckily, the ever-growing calendar of automotive events makes it easy to find an excuse to hit the road. As a warm-up, the latest addition to the garage - a Meissen Blue 356A, affectionately known as Moomin for its bubbly shape and soft pastel tone - set off for the FAT Ice Race in January, joined by three other flat-four classics from Poland.⁠

Picking a favorite might seem impossible, but when asked, every family member names this very car. Still, the 356 holds a particularly special place in the heart of Ela, Tomek’s daughter — as it was the car she chose to drive to her wedding.⁠

“Somehow Porsches are very far from being pretentious. They are iconic and simply timeless, just make you and everyone around smile. Thanks to these cars we’ve met a lot of fantastic people, some of them we’re lucky to call our second family.”⁠

Tucked away in a garage inspired by traditional Lower Silesian architecture, you’ll find a treasure trove: ten Porsches, around fifty scale models, and just above them, a cozy guest apartment accessed via a staircase salvaged from an old Porsche Center. ⁠

The space is filled with half of Porsche’s lifestyle collections, classic pepita tiles, and a generous dose of memorabilia. All of it overlooks a 200-year-old vineyard: believe it or not, that’s still not the best part of .⁠

“As a classic sports car, the 911, well, isn’t exactly the roomiest, especially when you’re a family of five. At that point, most people would go for an SUV or a wagon. But where’s the fun in that? For us, it means setting off on a road trip with three cars instead of one. And even then, it’s sometimes a tough choice!” Tomek explains, the head of the family, offering a glimpse into their unique take on life.⁠

For them, the old saying that “cars are meant to be driven” isn’t just a belief; it’s become something of a family motto. Whether it’s a quick grocery run, a seaside holiday, or strapping Swan chairs to the roof rack en route to Luftgekühlt in Denmark, the journey is always the highlight. When asked individually - with no chance to compare notes - each family member says the same thing: it’s the shared adventures that make the collection truly priceless.⁠

“I also love seeing my dad so excited, sharing all these stories with like-minded people at meetings and rallies. Over the years, they’ve become almost like relatives to us,” adds Tomek’s daughter, Ela.⁠

That’s why this garage is a pure reflection of what they do, hosting old and new friends, organizing events, and expanding the family - in every sense of the word.⁠

We’re in love with this dreamy film set of Honolulu-based collector David Bui’s () 911 GT3 🌺

Positioned at a working dock, alongside weathered fishing boats, the GT3 stands in a proud yet understated contrast — with its British Racing Green finish, perfect for Hawaii’s lush tropical environment.

Notable design details include the interior choice of Tan Leather with Tartan accents, a Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur option that pays homage to ‘60s/70s Porsche race and road cars. These tasteful choices give the car an “if you know you know,” feel. In fact, the only thing that maybe gives away its performance capabilities, besides its badging, would be the forged alloy center-lock wheels.

Despite being what we assume is one of very few on the island of O’ahu, this GT3 doesn’t scream for attention but instead provides a tasteful example of the timeless design DNA that is the 911.

Positioned at a working dock, alongside weathered fishing boats, the GT3 stands in a proud yet understated contrast. This particular spec features a few notable design choices, with the most obvious being its Irish Green paint to sample finish, a deep, almost forrest like shade that fits perfectly with Hawaii’s lush tropical environment. ⁠

With three volumes set low to the ground, arranged around water, ’s latest house is as serene as it gets, pulling together a restrained neutral palette of limestone, pale ash, brushed brass, and every light calibrated exactly to a warm 2700K light temperature. To top it all off, a below ground skylit level hides a pool, gym, and wellness space without disturbing the calm above 💆‍♂️⁠

“It’s really the very wild side of ‘Les Landes’”, explains. This vast, untamed region of France’s west coast is one of the least inhabited parts of the country, with miles-long stretches of dunes and sandy beaches.⁠

It’s here that Saint-Jours, the Marketing Director at Eastpak, and co-founder of France’s now-legendary collective , which merges skate and car cultures with the outdoors, now calls home.⁠

From his architect-designed home, raised above the coastal brush, he lives a stones throw from the surf, deserted roads, and fishing spots. Each part of the space around him is a playground for his passions; “When you arrive here, you’re away from everything, really in contact with nature.”⁠

At least, if you’re creative enough - it’s an idyllic scene to look upon now, the Westview Residence by inhabits a plot of land that was only free to build on because nobody else had the patience to work with its unique terrain. One of several houses at the end of its cul-de-sac in West Austin, the land beneath it sat empty for many years while its neighbours rose up from much easier ground.⁠

The site covers an awkward slope teeming with protected trees and a wet weather creek bisecting straight through the middle, rendering it unsuitable for more typical suburban construction techniques. Clearly, building anything here was going to call for a bit more of a considered approach than most local developers were accustomed to.⁠

The house fits in the gaps of the land like Tetris blocks, slotting in wherever there’s room. Some of the volumes float several feet above the undulating slope while others sink into it, connecting together through a series of elegant corridors and pathways, each bathed in dappled light from the tree canopy above. None of the pre-existing trees were removed or encroached on to make way for the floor plan and as a result, the house looks perfectly attuned to its surroundings.⁠

“The 912 saved Porsche at a time when the 911 was still expensive and unproven in competition. It had the hardest job of all - to follow the 356, Porsche’s first great success - and it did it beautifully. What I love most is how the 912 unites enthusiasts, young and old alike. It evokes California, the Beetle, the Meyers Manx…it’s a car that makes people smile.”⁠

Though an idyllic drive through the Provence countryside should be plenty to serve as a 60th birthday celebration of the Porsche 912, a critical component of ’s .reunion event is of course the “global” part, so naturally it doesn’t end here. This week Arthur has been in Japan staging another gathering of 912 owners, an event that follows a very similar formula to the French instalment. In November he’ll be in California doing it all over again.⁠

“My favourite moment of the whole weekend was at the final dinner, when I could thank everyone who came from so far for trusting me with this first event and for allowing me to live my dream: bringing people together around Porsches and art. It was moving to see everyone so happy, sharing stories about their cars.⁠

The true purpose of these gatherings is simple: to help enthusiasts see their cars as works of art, to understand and interpret them that way. These cars will go on to be well cared for, preserved for longer and still around to allow future generations to enjoy them as much as we do today. Happy 60th anniversary, Porsche 912.”⁠

Though it might look close to a typical air-cooled 911 meet up, not a single six cylinder engine was present for ’s recent .reunion gathering. Now 60 years since it was launched, this was a celebration of the 912, the 356 engined little brother to the 911. Oft-overlooked but beloved by those who know, it was only ever produced for five short years before the 914 took its place as Porsche’s four cylinder sports car.⁠

“It’s often underestimated by those who haven’t driven it, Arthur, who still drives the 912 he bought when he was just 18 years old, explains. “It’s such a perfect car - light, pure, balanced, fast, and precise. I was lucky enough to buy mine with my father, we did our first road trips together in it. I’ve driven more than 30,000 km in my 1965 912, named Bali. I drive her every day, she’s truly my companion on the road.”⁠

With 25 cars assembled, the convoy spent 3 days travelling through the countryside of Provence, sampling medieval villages, stunning mountaintops, grand art collections and vineyard lined roads, all the best ingredients for a classic South of France tour. “The 912 community is wonderful, passionate, and dedicated. Many drove more than 15 hours to joint us. There was a mix of generations, all united by a love for a car the world doesn’t yet fully understand.”⁠

The Silver Coast: on Finding Peace in France’s Untamed West • A Film⁠

For Olivier Saint-Jours, Marketing Director at Eastpak and one of the co-founders of France’s RIDE ANYWAYS collective, his home on the untamed western shores of France offers a peace that couldn’t be found in his earliest days skating in Paris. With the surf at his doorstep, no-kill fishing in the waters, and perfect roads for his Porsche 993 Clubsport, “Les Landes”, the term for one of France’s least-inhabited regions, has become not only Saint-Jours home, but a mindset that runs throughout his work.⁠
