Looks like the 928S is an S2. Subtle differences to an S, including a little more engine power. I had an '84 928S2 and detailed it all over, the new owner is picking up some concourse firsts over here with it apparently. Agreed they were a well underated car, great cruiser, great sound, great rear end. | ||

Jeffrey - email me at [email protected] and I'll get back to you with my mobile phone number. Look forward to meeting up and, amongst other things, talking about this awesome garage. | ||

Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone. I had a few qualms about posting pictures of the Porsches on this Board! I had a lot of doubts when I built this thing but, after watching the market go up in smoke I'm glad to see some real assets everyday when I go outside rather than a sinking portfolio every quater. I rationalized the garage/cars to my wife by saying "it's simply diversifying our portfolio." The decorations were aquired over a two year period by carefully watching EBay, contacting archive stores and watching the Boards. There's a lot of neat stuff out there but I'm still looking for one last Ferrari banner from the Rodeo Drive show. If anyone has a lead on one, let me know! Manu, dinner is still on in London: I think we'll be there for a week starting on or about August 8. | ||

Sweet garage man!  Love the 928. My Mom drives a guards red 944 Turbo. Some of the '80's Porsches were so much fun! Patrick | ||

Jeff, Fantastic Garage! You should have beeen featured on that HGTV special "Extreme Garages". Based on the colors of the license plates, looks like we may be from the same neck of the woods. Happy Motoring! Michael | ||

Hi Doody: hope you're enjoying the 355 (finally!). The flooring is epoxy paint applied over a new concrete floor. After having tile outdoors I decided there's just no way to prevent cracking in the Ohio climate. The paint was not Griot's, but rather, an industrial-type compound that this specialty painter found. It was a bear to apply and he told me that he actually lost money on the job. I think he was telling the truth as when I asked him to do my other garage, he turned me down. So it's not a product that I'd recommend to an amateur. The drop top is not a 993_ I got rid of that when I bought the new turbo. It's a supercharged boxster that's been dyno'd at over 300 bhp. A beautifully balanced ride for flinging around corners. Finally, the 928S. It's an '85 with about 200,000 miles on it. An amazing car-I always thought it had gotten a bum rap with the P-people just not ready to accept a water-cooled engine. Sort of ironic, considering the current line-up of P-cars. Water was always good enough for Ferrari so I never worried about it! As long as I'm careful about changing the timing belt, I'm hoping that car will last forever-it STILL has the original exhaust and is my daily driver when the weather turns nasty. Obviously though, it's not in the same league as the 550. Here's a few more pics.   | ||

Jeffrey: Glad to hear all is well with the 550. Very nice shots of the Garage Mahal :-) What's the flooring? Is it vinyl tile or something else? It seems to have lines or divisions in it (b/w 996TT and 550; under the 550's nose; etc.). What's the droptop? Is that a 993? Can't tell from the pic angle. And what flavor 928 is that? I'm a total 928 fan. I think they get a bad rap. Enjoy! Doody. | ||

Well, both my car and I are finally home at the same time. You may remember that I had coolant problems, pegged the water temp guage, and was afraid that I might have cooked the engine. Everything checked out fine and the only part needed was an auxillary water pump for about $500.00. Also waiting for me was a new digital camera so I can finally post some pictures. Here are my first attempts: I'm sure that I'll get better as it's a 5 megapixel and I'm just starting to learn it.    |
