That is, 3 cars or more...

I'm vote for James Morrison (1st placed?), then the Tom Fs. Who did I blatently overlook?

Words aren't enough to prove it..you gotta post pics of the harem. In other words, the King of Brunei may have the best, but with no fotos, they don't count.

Did anyone else have that poster growing up in the 80's that said, "Justification for Higher Education". ?? I had it and it looked pretty much like James' garage!! These are from our 3rd coast event 2006:

Thanks guys! I appreciate the vote of confidence. In time my collection will only get better! I am inspired by Kie to begin a search for 928 barn finds and by Chuck Z to clean them up to concours condition when found. Also, inspired by a friend in CA (he used to own the recently sold Iris blue GTS w/ the pin stripes!) to collect each of the GTS model years! So, I can see another 3+ 928's joining the Morrison collection in time! No rush...still like to add a few Ferrari's to the stable too!

Here are the most recent pics of the collection! With a little luck you will see some of these pics or ones similar to them in an article about the GT car in the On Line Magazine Autobahn Ambition... Watch this space for more info!

Hey, James: I never realized you have a ruby red one! That's a nice color - what is it inside?

Anyway, you have my vote...

I vote for James as his presentation is much much better than mine.

I would think Chuck Z used to have me beat, but I am not sure how many 928's he has now...he may be down to just Kermit!

Shayne, for an overall Porsche collection you have me by a MILE man!

Roger, other than presentation I think we would have to toss a coin my friend!

Nicole, Ruby red with Lipstick/black!!! Paul Champagne has some work to do (ok A LOT of work to do) on that car! It will get done eventually!

Thanks everyone!

I would have to vote for James ...His importing the Euro GTS and Federalizing it goes far beyond what most would ever do ! Plus he likes dogs and guns

I'm working on a '86.5 collection but that doesn't compare to James or Toms' or even a lot of others here...

Hey Shane, 4 is pretty AWESOME dude! My original plan was to get one of each body style... Then, as prices start to come down, and things look less and less expensive, I thought, "Maybe I can get one of EACH model year..." Good friend through PCA moved to Germany w/ the Army and I had him hook me up w/ the '92 thinking it would be the hardest of the cars to get (and YEA it was!) and after that...well it is all down hill from here!

Really I doubt I will have one of each model year, but I will have at least a few more over time. I have a hanger across the street, but I really like to enjoy my cars every time I go to the garage, so I hope I will be able to do an addition at some point and add a lot more garage space across from the current garage.

Anyway, I want to see some other folks collection pics! Rog, Shane, you guys have some great cars lets see some pics! Chuck, I think you are bound to have some from when you had ALL your 928's at the same time. Lets see them guys!

Thanks for all the support and kind words guys!
