Default 928 Royal Straight

It's not really a poker hand. Regardless, I wasn't going to let these escape without a picture or 10.

From foreground to background:

'95 GTS Midnight Blue, 5-speed
'94 GTS Iris Blue, 5-speed
'93 GTS Guards Red, 5-speed

Is that a private collection?

The '94 is ours and the '95 and '93 are/were in for various service tasks.

It is NOT CZ's old car. This '95 is still owned by the original owner. He was over yesterday to work side-by-side with me on changing all the fluids; he's quite handy with a wrench.

Beautiful!

Would take the '94 in my garage anytime.

The '95 also. I like blue cars...

...Thinking about it, would take ANY of these any time in my garage...

Beautiful cars!

What a line-up !! How many miles on that beautiful '95? Just noticed it's also got a nice straight rear central reflector ... has it been refixed?

Are you sure you want to know

These three GTSs have less than 120k combined with our '94 far in the lead.

Nope. Even the OE left-rear wheel liner is still flexible and completely uncracked (survived removal for PSD flush with flying colors.)

I'll see your hand and, well, see your hand.

'93 GTS 5-speed stroker, '93 GTS 5-speed stroker, '94 GTS 5-speed. And some other lesser cars.

Heh heh. I think my straight beats 'your' two pair.

Here, I'll widen the shot a bit. Clockwise from bottom left:
95 GTS 5-speed
94 GTS 5-speed
93 GTS 5-speed
91 GT
89 GT
90 GT (Can't see it 'cause it's under the camera)

Beautiful! Especially love the GT showing a little D90 leg. I am imagining you weighing the value vs. trouble of how much of that cover to remove.

I think Dave's Jiffy bag walls trump your cracked concrete floor!

The cars are quite nice though.

Rob,
Is that Joe's garage? Or a shared holding tank for Greg? Or has Greg branched-out to Fiat?

Charlie: zoom-in.

I'm open to suggestions on closing-up the walls. I was thinking a diamond-plate pattern steel 'wainscoting' over sheetrock. But that's spendy.
