Holger Schubert is a man with superb taste, as evidenced not only by his amazing 512BBi, but also by the gorgeous workspace/garage/art gallery he's built to accommodate it. There are no corny framed photos of waterfalls with trite inspirational messages on Schubert's immaculate glass walls, and he doesn't need them—the Boxer provides limitless motivation. Schubert shares with us his thoughts on the space and the car.

Walt Baumgartner opened Burlingame Motors in 1979 as a factory-certified Mercedes repair shop. The shop thrived over 20 years under Walt's ownership until his passing in 1999.  Walt’s wife, who desired to keep the shop in the family handed the reins over to her son-in-law, Rene, who had been working with the shop since 1991. Over the past 14 years, Rene has helped build Burlingame Motors into a successful classic car maintenance and restoration shop.

This is a garage, which displays no traces of any car enthusiast’s character and serves only as a space to showcase a handful of automobiles, but what a stunning showcase it is! The space demands a certain caliber of machine to be worthy of being sheltered in this shrine. On the day I visited the garage, four very special Alfa Romeos proudly occupied the space: a Giulietta SZ, a Giulia TZ, a Duetto, and the extremely rare, lust-worthy Tipo 33 Stradale.

On Christmas Day, we shared with you Venisio Pagani's touching story of finding his father's Peugeot 70 years after having had to part with it due to the war.  In today's Garage Profile, you can get a better glimpse of Pagani's garage in Cortona, Italy, that is so perfectly cluttered it almost looks like a movie set.  Amongst the orderly chaos we found two rare machines from the WWII: a Zündapp motorcycle with sidecar and an Alfa Romeo Matta 4X4.

Now that you've seen the video you may be more curious about Jack Olsen's garage. Jack sums it up best, so click through to read more about The 12-Gauge Garage in his own words.

"I’ll grant you that a website for a garage is strange. My place is on the small side...but my property doesn’t have any room for a bigger garage, so the trick has been to find ways to make the most out of the limited space."

There are a just over a handful of capable shops left in Southern California that know vintage Italian mechanicals well, and Santo’s Italian Car Service is one of the best.  You go to Santo for his unmatched expertise but stay for the company.  In fact, the first time I visited Santo, the experience reminded me of a classic barber shop scene, where gentlemen use a shave or a haircut as an excuse to get together and pass an entire afternoon shooting the breeze.

In this garage profile we bring you to one of Mr. Roberto Vesco's private garages in an undisclosed location outside of Brescia, Italy. Anyone who participates in the Mille Miglia every year with a pre-war classic (and has won it on occasion to boot) is an interesting person in our book. Inside Mr. Vesco's private garage, there were plenty of automotive treasures to kick-start any enthusiast's Attention Deficit Disorder.

In the heart of Milan, the city known for iconic cultural brands like Alfa Romeo, Campari, Prada, and many others that scream "Italian", there is a little garage that specializes in everything English.  Borghi Automobili is both a showroom selling new Morgans as well as a mechanic's garage specializing in vintage British cars.  Of course, we were pleased to also find a handful of rare Italian beauties, such as a one-off Maserati race car from the 50's and a super rare Bandini.
