Does it have the "Do It Yourself" manual transmission, or the superior "Fully Equipped by Porsche" Automatic Transmission?

Sorry Samuel, but I am not putting VIN on the internet if not already in the public domain nor without full upfront consent of the owner.
Even more reason for not doing so: during this Euro 928 event a Dutch participant made me aware of 'VIN jacking' happening in at least the Netherlands, when I asked him why he did not had the VIN on the window position. 'VIN jacking' = thief takes a photo of your VIN of your classic and/or exotic car, then put all parts of that car for sale on eBay etc. and then when enough interest is shown the thief / gang makes sure to locate and steal to car so to be able to sell it. Very sad and true.
This one has a sunroof.

Thanks Gunther for a great event!
It was a fantastic event with a lot of very nice 928s. Just bad that I can't get my pictures from my camera because of I don't have the cable at the moment..
I had a great time with Roger, Jim and Arnoud and many other enthusiasts. I didn't know it was that easy to get Roger to crawl on the floor. Just whisper something to him and then he's down
(See the picture from Arnoud).
It was also an experience driving on the Autobahn
On Sunday morning I got my manual '88 S4 up to 262 kph (163 mph) GPS speed. Not bad for a car where the only modifications are a RMB and a deleted air pump ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Tip when visiting the Porsche Stuttgart museum: park in the underground garage (it is only 4 €) and start looking around there first. More than 200+ car park spaces...I was in good company:

Summary: Gunther & his team made 70+ 928 car nuts & their partners join what turned out to be an excellent gathering, from Thursday afternoon 8th May till Sunday morning 11th may. During the event I saw great cars, and even more importantly: amazing people, 928 car nuts are good people. Here they are:

The Euro 928 meeting made me drive during my extended roadtrip a total of: 5155.9km = 3222 miles which needed 12 fill up's with an average of 14.6 liter / 100 km + 4 new tires (I started with less than 3 mm profile left, so the tire change was planned in advance by me) and about 2 liters of 20W50 Valvoline oil refilled, and our 928's are made exactly for this - no sweat at all!
This journey generated 935 photo's + 10 video's = 12.5 GB of digital data in the process.
This big sign, as is displayed in the ferry from Stockholm / Sweden to Turku / Finland which I took on Tuesday night, sums it up nicely:

I'm a little late posting this, but better late than never. Let me start by saying this was among the best if not THE best 928 event I've ever attended. If you haven't done the Euro 928 event you're really missing a great event. The quality of everything was absolutely 1st rate in every respect; the people in attendance, the cars, the Porsche facility and tour, the food . . . all of it.
Roger and I were honored to be the Concours judges; the quality of the cars was far, far superior to what we are used to seeing here in the states. Oh we have 928's as good as the Euro owners, but not 100% of the cars we saw at this event. There was one 88 928 (1st place) that we went around several times without finding a single issue/fault. Wow, just wow!
I've been a part of 2 OCIC's here in the USA and I know all the work involved and the coordination required behind the scenes. The Euro 928 gathering was a 1st rate event and my hat is off to the organizers. You did a fantastic job.
