Very cool, but where are you getting the info, is it being volunteered to you by owners, or is there a way to access this in a more formalized manner from Porsche?

My guess is through VINs. More than likely looking them up in numeric order. Not difficult, but time consuming.

You are punching VIN's in sequentially into the Porsche VIN lookup? Are you able to validate them first?

Sequential. the tricky part is the checksum digit - some VINs are valid but the Porsche VIN lookup does not show a vehicle. I use Carfax to validate VINs as well

LOL, why would you want to post pics? Unless you've gone all black or some other obvious combination you're going to get a bunch of comments about your lack of taste. I'm not posting pics.
