Looks like a great event. Always fun when collectors share their collection with the public.
I did not take any interior shots. Kinda hard to photograph through the closed windows.

+1 for a pic of the inside of that Gulf Blue 993. I hear you on the window up, but it said painted blue hardbacks - man with the black leather, I bet that is WOW. What a display of cars. I'd almost consider flying to check those out.

Here's a pic with from the back you can kinda see the interior. The interior on that car wasn't as nice as his Turbo S or the 959 imo, except for the color keyed hardbacks. Someone mentioned something about museum pieces, I think this was more interesting than the Porsche museum because there the 959 had the windows up and was blocked off, and I had to fly to Germany and food wasn't free. In this case Dave hooked everyone up with great food and alot of the cars had there windows down so you could actually stick your head in and feel the leather on the switches, leather vents and everything. Not going call him a philanthropist as this was a PCA event, but goes a long way to inspire others how to give back to the enthusiast community. Very generous of him as a car enthusiast to put the cars on display for everyone to behold.

Awesome...I have tagged along with the Chicago region to their DE's up at Road American and spend a lot of time in Chicago (gf lives there)....would be fun to be more active with that group!

I apologize for my previous post, which came across as mean and petty. This interweb thing makes it far too easy to be critical when it's simply uncalled for. Thanks for posting the photos.
