Taichung is not as bright and green as Taipei, but Lin Jianhong, who lives in Taichung, is an exception. Lin Jianhong owns a silver building in Taichung and is economically free. His love and persistence in cars is not fanatical, but his "buy, buy" solution is still unattainable. In addition, Lin Jianhong's garage is less of an oil stain and more of a casanova-like feeling.
Lin Jianhong's garage is located on the ground floor of a detached villa in the bustling section of Taichung City's Central District. Although the house prices in Taichung are no less than in Taipei, nor as much as the north, upper, broader and deeper parts of the mainland, this villa is still worth a lot. Passing through Lin Jianhong's BMW z3 m coupe and Porsche 993 turbo parked in the garage, the narrow garage is filled with tankers collected from all over the world, the walls are hung with discarded car number plates from tiannanhaibei, and the cabinets around the garage are exquisite car scale models. Sitting on the circular sofa on the innermost side of the garage, you will feel more like a car-themed café or a car salon full of literary atmosphere.
"In fact, this garage has been developed from the concept of 'garage life'. Every man loves cars, just like childhood toys, and toys are the most gratifying memories of childhood. But at that time, it was impossible to be financially autonomous, so I set an 'ambition' to buy these toys back the same way when I grew up! From a small belief to fermentation, Lin Jianhong is also extra hard in his career, because his goal is to one day be able to return his dreams as a gift to reward himself.
"After the conditions are met, we begin to look for appropriate places to realize our dreams. Because we first had the ideal garage, we deliberately purchased this separate house, and we can directly access the interior of the living space from the garage. "It took about two years, Lin Jianhong started from laying the garage floor, designing the wall storage space, building and modifying it little by little, from scratch, like ants moving to create his own garage space."
"After the garage is basically completed, we have to add elements about the car a little bit. Originally, only about NT$500,000 was set aside for the garage, but it cost about NT$1 million. After the Porsche 993 turbo parked in, there was a BMW z3 m coupe, because he also liked locomotives, so there was a limited edition Ducati paul smart 1000le, and it turned out that the garage space was not enough, even the Land Rover Defender could not stop. After all, I am older and can no longer play with cars like a young teenager, so I will play some of my own tonality here and play with some design things. When the lights are not enough, add lines, and if the cabinets are not enough, they will find designers to propose ideas. Later, because the car had to close the door immediately after going out, the exhaust gas emissions could not go out, so the exhaust system was installed. Friends want to come here for a small gathering, and they have installed liftable projection equipment to avoid affecting the vehicle in and out of the garage. ”
In the corner left for his soul, Lin Jianhong originally planned to leave more blank space. However, in more than two years, this space has gradually become full and full. "Most of the time, I still like to relax with a glass of espresso in my spare time, or open a bottle of moët & chandon champagne to open a conversation between myself and the car in this space. Or quietly savor your treasures in the music-like basanova melody, admire the graceful lines of these cars, and feel that your dream has come true even for a few minutes. ”
"What does that mega-man-like figure at the door mean?" "It was the first giant robot in Japan, and 'Iron Man 28' was its name, which was also bought through a friend. Because I myself am actually very different, like an alien robot, the will to fight is also relatively strong. So it's more like my stand-in, standing in the garage doorway to welcome visitors here. welcome to chien-hung garage！ ”
