Come One! Come All! Venture forth in your trusty German steed and Slay THE DRAGON with us. October 14-17, 2010


It is a weekend of frivolity, fun and lots of 914 things. Come see who gets the CRIMSON SHAFT this year. Come see a bunch of idiots in 34+ year old sports cars drive a bunch of twisty roads.

I am especially looking forward to all the Florida and East Coast guys to come out and participate. If you have never been to a real Ramble, this is the one for you!


Lots of , , , and , some , and lots of really cool people and cool 914s (and at least one Waterpumper).


Anyone who is a 914 person is welcome, even if yours is not running or you don't own one. This is the oldest continuous 914 event in the US, so don't miss it.


And I challenge you West Coast guys to try and beat Rick Ollah for the "Iron Butt" award by driving your 914 to the event.

There will be a caravan going from DFW to Memphis on the Wed before the event, and we will be leaving out early Thu morning. Anyone in Memphis at that time is welcome to join the caravan.

Buttercup plans to be there! Ron and I will trailer her as far as Memphis, at least.
Any advice on trailers would be greatly appreciated! Especially what kind of system to "tie down". (A friend was telling me about straps that go around each wheel on his racecar. A good idea on a 914?)
THANKS!

This will be one party in the Smokey Mountains that you WILL NOT want to miss! So come on out for some and and andlet's all have fun at the MUSR 11,TEENERS on THE TAIL!!!

The hotel has 50 rooms and those are beginning to be booked. I have a secondary lodging plan if needed so if we could get a guesstimate of who might be coming I will know what actions to take.

Hmm... Wife's been wanting to plan a 2010 roadtrip.
Wonder if flat towing the 914 to MUSR would qualify.
Wonder if 2- and 4-year olds would enjoy.

Posted by: bandjoey Apr 22 2010, 03:22 PM

Hi Dan...not to be a partypooper but to me, it's like watching people take their little kids to Disney. They're too young to go the distance, and by 3pm they're tired, bored, and screaming to go home. (ask me about our first trip to disney

There's lots of touristy stuff to do in the area, if you and/or wife in the other car want to entertain the kids and get them to the hotel earlier than us. My wife really enjoyed the trip we took there a couple of years ago.

I went to MUSR last year, and it's an adult trip. PEOPLE, if I'm wrong, and you are willing to babysit, correct me.

Otherwise, ya'll come!

Posted by: BigDBass Apr 22 2010, 03:32 PM

I wish there were some events closer to home. Would love to go to Hershey but just a bit too far. The Red Rocks event looks incredible and I hope to make it eventually. This one seems almost close enough to be doable.

Then there's the option of leaving the wife and kids at home and driving down in the 914. Wonder if it'd make it?! When I bought it sight unseen, then drove it from Minneapolis to Chicago, it was less sorted out than it is now.

Posted by: bandjoey Apr 22 2010, 03:37 PM

You've got plenty of time to get the car running great. Many travel that distance and - you might find some others in your area and get u a caravan. If you come alone, you can split a room with someone. Keep us in mind. This is the Premier 914 event (not sure if it's the oldest, but it's got a great rep for fun. Bill

It is the oldest 914 gathering in the country. This is MUSR 11, and we skipped 2 different years. And there were three Renegade 914 events before it was called MUSR. From the history page, located at http://914.pca.org/SIGsiteEventsHistory.html , the Renegade 914club held their first event in 1995. The current MUSR is the continuation of those events.


I know my first event was MUSR2, and I have not missed one since.

Options being considered:
drive minivan towing 914 and wife and kids
drive minivan towing 914 with wife and kids and either my mom or my father-in-law weighing pros and cons for each
drive minivan towing 914 with wife and no kids
drive 914 with wife
drive 914 alone
drive 914 with co-driver other than wife

I found some old pictures on an old thread and saw lots of names of World people that should be signing up for MUSR11.

Recognize your car:? Go through your old pictures and add them here. This could be the biggest 914 event this year.

Update on the Dragon's rockslide:

http://www.wbir.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=118708

Here's a suggestion for an additional side trip or as a backup plan in the event of another rock slide. In that vicinity there is a hairier, much less patrolled drive with substantially higher speed limits (up to 55 mph)... The Devil's Triangle.

http://www.tailofthedragon.com/DevilsTriangle/DevilsTriangle.html

Be aware the Dragon and Cherohola Skyway are great, but they are VIGOROUSLY patrolled, and a vast majority of it has a 30 MPH speed limit.

Another destination in Knoxville (and Nashville and Chattanooga) that Nel and I sorely miss is McKay's bookstore.

http://www.mckaybooks.com/

Most of my large CD collection came from their bargain / scratched bin at .99 each or less, some as cheap as .05! I purchased several new compilation / sampler CD's for .10 to .25.

Come One! Come All! Venture forth in your trusty German steed and Slay THE DRAGON with us. October 14-17, 2010


It is a weekend of frivolity, fun and lots of 914 things. Come see who gets the CRIMSON SHAFT this year. Come see a bunch of idiots in 34+ year old sports cars drive a bunch of twisty roads.

I am especially looking forward to all the Florida and East Coast guys to come out and participate. If you have never been to a real Ramble, this is the one for you!


Lots of , , , and , some , and lots of really cool people and cool 914s (and at least one Waterpumper). That would be awesome cool red waterpumper


Anyone who is a 914 person is welcome, even if yours is not running or you don't own one. This is the oldest continuous 914 event in the US, so don't miss it.


And I challenge you West Coast guys to try and beat Rick Ollah for the "Iron Butt" award by driving your 914 to the event.

There will be a caravan going from DFW to Memphis on the Wed before the event, and we will be leaving out early Thu morning. Anyone in Memphis at that time is welcome to join the caravan.

Got a few more payments and a couple of registrations that I have not posted. I have been busy getting Betty's 914 running. Just fired the rebuilt motor this evening at 8:45. We have a self-imposed curfew of 9pm on any garage activity to keep peace with the non car loving neighbors. I will finish it up in the morning and take it out and drive it.

Now that all you folks have seen how much fun they had at theWCR, it is time to start planning on the MUSR 11 down in the great Smokey Mountains on the Tail of the Dragon! Just think, 318 curves in 11 miles and that is only one of the exciting roads we will travel. Don't be square, make plans to be there!!

It's looking like I'll be unavailable later this year, saving my vacation for the Reno Air Races in September. (After that I'll have perhaps a day of vacation..) If that looks like it's gonna fall through or I somehow wind up with more days of vacation than I'm expecting, I'll do everything in my power to make it.

Finally started messing with the 914 again. Engine drop in the near future for general cleanup. Convinced that I have a vacuum leak or wonky ignition. Or perhaps an electrical issue. Or maybe something else...

Well Mr. Shoe, it looks like I've convinced a few people here in Carolinas Region to rearrange some things so we might have a few 914's from the region make it after all.

I'm working on a few personal scheduling issues, but it's looking better so far.

Also,

We had some discrepancies in the cars...

Bill Andrews ... What engine size is your 914?

Brittney Russell..... What kind of car are you driving?

Kevin Barnes... What year and engine size is your 914?

Bob Bieshoff ... What year and engine size is your 914?

Kelvin Knight... What year and engine size is your 914?

Don Russell... What year is your 914? Also, we have the car color as "Plaid". ;-)



And I want to apologize for not being to responsive lately. I have been slightly under the weather, but I am feeling much better now.

Hello,

I just finished my 75 2.0 and am entertaining the idea of driving it up from Southwest Florida, anyone else driving up from Florida?
I have put a 73 2.0 donor engine in her with 86K on it and am driving it as much as I can to see if it would be able to make the trip. If I was going up I would prefer to caravan.

Thanks,

I am adding something to the schedule.

For those of you who don't go on the optional tour to Jake Raby's shop, we will hold a blind autocross that morning, and be heading for home that afternoon.


If you have never done a blind autocross you will have a blast. It is really funny to watch the navigator in the car laughing so hard all she can do is point, and the driver is blindfolded and can't see where she is pointing!!

what you guys from the rest of the world miss out on is that us here in NC and eastern TN have lots of roads like this to drive. TOD is just the most famous (and unfortunately usually the most crowded). We go on drives up in the mountains fairly often that will make even the most hardened passenger a bit queasy. (I know, Nadine likes to drive too, so I spend 1/2 of any trip in the right seat!!) 2nd gear at most for 15+ miles.... You'll all really love the area...

Hello,

Just returned back to Florida from East Tennessee, my summer vacation was a covert recon mission to scope out the Tail of the Dragon and visit the beauty of the Mountains. We rented a cabin up in the hills over Wears Valley not too far from the Tail. On the way up we drove the family Honda Element, Front Wheel Drive, 5 Speed. We drove up after staying with freinds in Atlanta on Highway 68 which runs through Tellico Plains or something like that, 68 had lots of great twisties it was real fun to drive...or as much fun as you can have in an Element. After several days in the Hills we decided to drive to Marysville for supplies (Beer & Wine). On the way up I noticed the sign announcing that HWY 129 was open again. We went to Marysville and then decided to drive down 129 and check out the Tail of the Dragon. I said to my wife how much worse can it be compared to Highway 68????

Oh My God.......... just add 5000 feet and no guard rails, we drove from west to east so my wife in the passenger seat was on the side which looked down. This did not go so well for her. I had a great time driving but was watching for all the Crotch Rockets and pulling into the passing shoulders so they could enjoy. Everytime I pulled into one she about freaked. The road is the best in the country and I can't wait to bring my 914 in October, I cannot imagine how fun it will be in that car...on that road!!!!

If you have driven the road I saw something not to be believed, a guy was pulling a 30 ft trailer over the Tail of the Dragon...I can't imagine, hope he had lots of brake pad.

Words do not explain the road even the video's can not capture the whole experience, the Dam near the end is really cool.

Looking forward to October.

Called the hotel today to book a room for a couple of nights when we go to do the preruns in a couple of weeks. I was told our rooms for the ramble are slowly but surely being booked and are disappearing. If you are planning on attending this event which is only a little over a couple ofmonths away you might want to consider reserving your room pretty quickly before they are all gone.

Had a chat with John Forbes at Black Forest Racing this morning, looks like a bunch of 914 owners from in and around Carolinas will be making it after all! He had a list of 11 (12 cars) that told him yes, they are going plus 3-4 maybe's. Not sure if they all signed up yet...would like to see an updated registration list Clay??

I'm still working on scheduling...hopefully we can make it.

Ok.. Here's a personal update.

With the 14 to 16 hour days at work I have not had much time to get in the garage. So I finally got out and finished off Frody for a bit. The engine is running strong. Yesterday I replaced the throttle and speedo cables and test drove him. Today I adjusted the gear lever, fixed the instrument lights, and replaced the interior rear view mirror. Almost melted doing it, as it is 105 outside right now.

I got the replacement bottom end for my six almost torn down, and it will be done tonight. Tomorrow starts another 16 hour day week, but I will try to find time to update the registration, as I have envelopes waiting to be entered. But now I need to get in the garage finish pulling down that six.....

Registration update....

I keep getting some weird responses from the website. I get a message about registration, with just a couple of T-shirt sizes... No name, no contact info, nothing. If you have signed up and don't appear in the list on the first page, email me. I will make sure that you are included in the registration list.

Clay if you need to redirect the registrations to me just let me know. I believe it is important to keep an updated list. The more people they see coming, the more that will want to come. I'm working those long hours also and don't have my car running that I need by Friday to do the preruns, but I still make sure to keep this thread moving. Good luck with the cars and come fix mine before Thursday please.

For anyone in the area, Ken and I will be making a run to the Dragon in the morning and doing all the runs this weekend to check travel times, photo stops, making sure the hotel is on same page as us. Securing eating places and generally trying to iron out any kinks that may arise. If anyone wants to make some runs with us just let me know and we will do our best to hook up with you. We will be staying at the event hotel Friday night and Saturday night so we won't be too hard to find. If you need to get in touch drop me an email and I will send you my phone number.

Been 2 months...

Posted by: hot_shoe914 Aug 15 2010, 07:58 PM

A registration update would be nice and also be nice if ya cashed the checks so I can balance out my books.

On other news Ken and I and another friend just got back from running the Dragon, HellBender and Cherohala Skyway for the last 3 days. Talk about fun. Even managed to take a boxster off road, across a ditch and back on the road with no damage. Finished finalizing plans and setting things up. We stayed at the hotel that we have reserved and it is nice. Awesome hot breakfast that I am sure everyone will enjoy. Several more rooms were reserved than the last time I checked and I didn't recognize a lot of the names so apparently there are people coming that I don't know about. Those of you that have registered, or are planning on registering but have not yet secured your room, you may want to consider doing this real soon before they all disappear.

In yet still other news, the optional trip to Jake's place on Sunday is no longer an option. Jake has races to attend and will not be available as we had hoped. Don't fret though, there will be a blind autoX on Sunday before we leave, and if you have never participated in one, you won't want to miss the fun, exciting and hilarious event.

Well, since I can't get a response nor an update from Clay, I am going to see if I can help out a little. I have no way ofknowing if he has received your registration or not or if you have paid or not. I know some of the people on the list have paid since the last update but it is not reflected here. I am posting the list from the last update 2 months ago and am going to ask everyone who has sent registration to please post so I will know. I have donating vendors trying to get a head count so they can plan their donations. Thank you all for your patience and understanding in this matter. Hopefully Clay will be able to get caught up from his busy schedule and chime in with what he has received. You may post here or send me a message and I will add you to the list.

Thanks,

shoe,
if you're going by the list on page 1, that is completely WRONG!! It hasn't been updated in over 2 months. I know of 5 cars coming from Carolinas that are not on the list, not to mention all the others from everywhere else. And most of those guys are not on 914world, so they wouldn't know to contact you or Clay directly.

My guess is that a lot of people have signed up in the past couple months, so we are missing a lot from the list. Until it's updated, you have no idea exactly how many there are.

I now have access to a link that feeds me the names of those who register off the site. The list on page 1 is only 22 people, cars and all. I have another list that is showing 25 cars registered plus a number of non car driving guest. I still don't think I am 100% accurate but pretty damn close. Reason I say this is because there is one on the first list that doesn't show up on the other for some reason and I know they are registered. Still some room for error but I have a lot better idea now than I did 2 days ago.

I helped Clay set up the registration site and have a copy of the registrations forwarded to my email in case something happens on Clay's end. I went thru the entries and here is the "unofficial" participant count by state:

6 - TX
1 - PA
2 - GA
2 - KY
4 - NC
3 - AL
3 - TN
1 - KS
1 - AR
2 - unknown

I am guessing there are more registered that maybe contacted Clay directly. In fact, after cross checking Clay's list and mine, there are two entries on his that I do not have. By now, I am sure there are more.

naro914 and pcar916 - have you guys registered online or directly with Clay? I don't see your names on the list. If you DID register online, then we need to figure out why it never went through.

Ok..I understand everyone's concern about the registration... but FYI... I am at work, AGAIN. I have not had a day off in 3 weeks, and I have 2 more to go before this project finishes. I have not had time to fix my 914 either, so I will be a passenger in Betty's car.


Betty is, as I type this, putting together the updated list of registrants, and she will email it to me. I will update it as soon as I get it. I think the Hospital can spare 15 minutes on a Sat for this.

Also, It has come to my attention that there is an error on the registration forms. Some of you have a form that is showing a price of 12.50 for the T-shirts. Due to inflation, the T-shirt price is 15.00. If you already sent in your payment, you can pay me at the event.

If you are missing from the list, please contact me. I got a number of registration forms emailed to me that were blank. I am thinking some of you may have missed getting registered.

Just because two people have the same last name does not mean it will be only one 914

John Forbes and Donna North are one car.

Glad you are making the journey with the rest of the Texas contigent. You have also selected a cool roommate too so don't worry about being kicked to the dorm, you and Bill just became a couple.

I'd like to follow up on this discussion about "radios". I don't have a hand held radio (Motorola, etc.) but could probably get my hands on one if need be. Are radios needed because cell phone coverage in the mountainous terrain is limited rendering them unusable at times (like in an emergency).

If a radio is the desired communication device, please let me know so I can work on obtaining one.

This is a great location for all of the east coast people whether you're from the north or the south. All of you centrally located folks should be coming down also. Don't miss your chance to meet the famous Buttercp! We need about 10 more teeners & George will load us up wth lots of goodies for door prizes & there are other member vendors hooking us up also! Don't wait too late, register now & get your room reserved & come on out & drive the dragon with us!

By my unofficial count, there are 32 or 33 914s and a couple 944s.

This does not count the Alien and anyone he could talk into driving down from up north.

What about the Atlanta area teeners? I only see a couple Georgia people signed up.

Where are you seeing the number of cars, and where they're from?
Also, where did you get the color count a couple pages ago?

I set it up so the registrations from the web site are copied to me in case anything happened on Clay's end. So, I have that info that I built my list from.
Then I added the ones from Clay's newest list that I did not have and then just now added anyone mentioning in this thread they had signed up.
Car colors and origin are from the registration entries.

HERE IS MY UNOFFICIAL LIST. If you see any errors, let me know. If you know of anyone attending who is not on this list, let me know. I will try to keep it updated as I receive new info.

Yes, we met Ryan when we went up for the preruns. I believe he wants to attend but may not be finacially able. Hopefully things will work out for him though.

okay folks, add one more 914 to get that number one closer to 40.
I think I just registered twice, and I'm sending check to Clay this weekend and will call the hotel tomorrow to reserve a room. I am trying to convince my brother to come up from Atlanta for the event.

Yeah, since Bill Dunster was in charge of the Corral (a 914 owner - that's his 6th down on the left - yellow stock nose), and I was helping him park cars, I decided who got front row parking. To me, it was kind of obvious. This was also Huey's first time in public after the Targa wreck.

Posted by: dr914@autoatlanta.com Sep 9 2010, 02:25 PM

40 paid 914s means door prizes, 916, steves m-471, me there to sign autographed copies of the tech tips 700 book, participation in the tech session, maybe a few more special 914s (to be announced!) and maybe I will even spring for some drinks!!!

AS AN ADDED BONUS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HATE ME, YOU WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ABUSE ME IN PERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too much to lose to not make the 40 PAID 914s. PLUS what a photo shoot it will make and what a gathering of 914s not seen in recent history.

Posted by: naro914 Sep 9 2010, 06:43 PM

Personally, I have never had any issues with AA and especially George. Admittedly, I have not purchased much except for a few sheet metal parts when we rebuilt Huey, but all has always been good.

As a former automotive business owner - specifically Porsche business - I completely understand some of the things George goes through. He has a love for a particular car. But, he is a businessman. He offers a service to his customers, but he needs to make money doing it. Some people seem to forget that the businesses we buy things from are businesses...not some side hobby that is just for our benefit.

Do things get screwed up? Absolutely. That's business. But in the end, George usually has that hard to find part you need. Will it cost you? Sure...Supply and demand.

and no, don't start going on about this experience or that experience....not on this thread....this is not the time or place.

George has put a challenge to the 914 community and has promised riches and rewards for all of us (that actually send our registration in ) Lets all make it happen!

Posted by: BigDBass Sep 15 2010, 11:06 PM

Wife approval: Check
Boss approval: Check

Ok, looks like I'm in!

I will contact the hotel in the morning and register for MUSR.

Registration question: My "secondary registrant" is still undecided as we're trying to figure out his schedule/logistics to come from St. Petersburg FL. Would the organizers prefer that I add secondary when I register, or add him later when he confirms? If I must, I can consider forfeited registration fee upon cancellation as a donation to the event, so I'm not overly concerned there. (Not that I'm eager to throw the $ away!!)

Anyway, woohoo! Looks like I'll see you there. (Oh, and might need to attempt to recruit to Chicago 914ers to help me prep!)

door prize suggestions!


I hate it when attending an event and winning a door prize that it is just a sappy thing that no one wants. I feel for the companies who had spent good money on the prize only to have it passed on or thrown away. We do not want this to happen this time. Hence I am taking suggestions for door prizes from all PAID participants of what they would like to see in door prizes. The sky's the limit, but of course I will not guarantee that I can or will provide them, and NONE of the cars in my collection are available!!!!

well, I've tried every 914 owner I know in Carolinas region, but as I said way back at the beginning, this is a very bad weekend around here. So, 6 of the cars that would normally go cannot.

and, I just learned that we may not be able to make it either. I thought we could get out of something that it now looks like we can't.

Don't cancel us yet, but it's not looking good.

I'm working on the Ravenna car rebuilding brakes. Still no heads though. Spoke with Dave Parsons. We may end up trailering the turbo car with my trailer. Still on the fence.

Has anyone talked to the Grand Vista Hotel lately?

Just wondered what the discounted group rate is and if they still have rooms available.

I have been on the fence, but it looks like I may be able to attend. I should know for sure in the next day or two.

My 914-6 is still down due to Weber issues beyond my skills so I would be driving my Signal Orange 1973 914 2.0.

I heard back from the Chicago region PCA president.

Since it's not an official PCA event, he can't notify the whole region, but said he knows many people with 914s and would at least pass along the info to them.

Clay,

I just registered and I'm mailing check# 3195 to you today.

I realize I missed the t-shirt cut-off, but if you end up with an extra XL, I'll pay you at the event.

Looks like I will be driving my 1973 914-4 unless I get the Webers adjusted on my 914-6. Either way, I'll bring a 914.

See you in a couple weeks.

Rich

Posted by: dr914@autoatlanta.com Sep 28 2010, 12:09 PM

The time has come for me to set a deadline for 916 participation as it will take awhile to get it road ready, so here it is:

If we cannot have 40 paid 914s by this friday OCT 1st, the 916 cannot be there.

The point is that if you have procrastinated about sending in your registration payment, the time is NOW!!

In order to sweeten the pot, I'm adding in another (small) incentive if we can hit the 40 914 count!!!

I've arranged with one of our members to make a bonus gift for each registered 914 if we can hit 40 cars.

So please don't leave the rest of us hanging! REGISTER NOW!!!!

Posted by: poorsche914 Sep 29 2010, 11:34 AM

Just got back from talking to a Knoxville area teener. Told him about MUSR and he is going to register. He has a V8 powered '73.

The count should be real close to 40 now

Posted by: 7275914911 Sep 29 2010, 11:58 AM

IIRC we needed 4 and have picked 2 of those up. Ryan(?) in Maryville could make it 39.

Who wants to be No. 40??

Not that the Dr's 916 will really make this Event any better. IT WON"T!!
Unless you are the one driving it of course. But I bet it is sure purty to look at and I bet Herr Dr would be a treat to have around also??

Posted by: poorsche914 Sep 29 2010, 12:14 PM

Yep, on the 22nd had 36. Since then via online registration picked up 2 more 914s.
Knoxville guy I talked to today will register in the next day or so.
Ryan is still undecided.

I am really really surprised that even after our mass mailing, we have no more than 38 or 39 confirmed and paid 914s. I am sure that if the California fruit boys were organizing an event they would have many many more than this. Shame on you east coast guys who have not stepped up. Richard Towle what happened to you? Ray Mitel? Mark Epstein? Let's get 50 914s. I actually thought that there would be 100!
I have offered everything I reasonably can.

Posted by: hot_shoe914 Sep 30 2010, 12:33 PM

come one come all, step up and sign up for the best 914 event of the year, possibly the entire decade. Come drive some of the most awesome roads in the US. On top of all that meet Buttercup, the memorial car and Christine, the ugly cousin of Buttercup. Come and find out if The Diva can pull off a 3peat for dirtiest engine bay. See who goes home with the crimson shaft award. Still not enough, come and see George's 916, one of only 11. We are but one or two registered 914s away from making George bring out the 916 and a truckload of goodies to give away. There will be arial photography, a chance for a picture of a lifetime, your car along with 40 others taken from the air. SIGN UP NOW!!!

Take him up on the offer Eric and you can show us how to rebuild them in person if you want to do a tech session. Order your GoPros and I will bring them with me.

I might be down with that. Have that beer you've been talking about. As long as it's not a one way ticket to Syberia! LOL

no just to atlanta and back Eric. Just give me your idea of a travel itinerary and I will have Mia book your round trip and we can pick you up at the airport.

Is everyone from Auto Atlanta coming? Sure hope the Guy from the back with the Yellow car comes. That car Is SURE NICE.... He's done a great job on it.
I'm surprized that I've never seen any pictures of it on the net.

I agree Mary. Would be great if I could get about thirty people to call here and ask personally for Charlie Brad Jason Mia Carrie Reid Jeff Jason Sean Rich Chad and ask them to sign up and go!!! They all do this eight hours a day five days a week so then think that any other 914 activity is work!!!! (believe it or not!!)

I on the other hand think every day given is another that I can pursue my 914 passion. When I get home Saturday night I wax one and Sunday wax another and or go to a car show with one. During the week I always have one being restored that I check up on and order parts for, dreaming about the day it will be finished and added to my collection.

Dr. 914:
Charlie is the guy that I have bought Buttercup parts from. I think you should encourage him to come up! He said his car isn't ready, but surely there is a 914 around somewhere????

I actually think that the cars with the most patina will attract the most attention. These days everyone shows up with shiny near perfect cars and it just gets boring to look at a long line of them! A car with a lot of patina that still runs well and makes it for such a trip as we are all about to undertake, is a diamond in the ruff!

13 more days, i gotta det the trim back on and the breaks working correctly.

I'm thinking of ordering a set from Eric Shea out in Utah any advice?

do nothing at this point to get the car disabled.
if your worried about braking power put in a set of pads and do the build later. I did that last Musr. and it worked out great.

Leave the trim off and go for the ugly car award against Shoe

ok I have three more 914s that will register but they DO NOT count towards the 40 we need for the 916 to show up. Let's make this the largest 914 car event in recent years.

You go shine up the 916, number 39 was Ryan when he registered and I know we will get one more. Michael should be registering when he gets home from work. Now, do you need me to bring a semi down to AA to haul all of the goodies for door prizes?
