What famous people own, have owned, or have driven a 928 to our knowledge? Here are a few I have heard of:

Tom Cruise (actor, in the famous movie Risky Business)
Tom Selleck (actor, privately owned)
Martina Navratilova (tennis)
Dennis DeYoung (Styx)
Prince (supposedly a purple one)
Ben Johnson (sprinter)
Alan Jones (race car driver)
Hans Stuck (race car driver)

...who else? (Please also explain who they are - not everybody wil know every famous person...

Ace Frehley, the guy from KISS had one. Blue, it was for sale in Dallas in 1996 or so. It had a blown head gasket, so they wanted $5000 for it!

N!

What was the name of the F1-driver that died tragically in the early nineties.. Can't recall his name but he had a dark blue metallic manual S4 with linen interior.

Former Dallas and Chicago goalie Ed Belfour, now with Toronto Mpale Leafs. Saw a picture of the car once with the Stanley Cup beside it.

Lars, the drummer of Metallica has one, maybe two. The black one he owns is actually in the video 'Nothing Else Matters'. The view is from the inside while he's driving down the road.
