Life is good....

Others in attendance....Grumpy/Ginter, Sammy was there with his turbo 911 SC, Steve Malm in his wife's vette, Slits, and many more.....good turnout.

Not bad at all. I left with less stuff than I came with.

And Sean bought another car...

Great Event. Thanks to our host Glen.
I got to see some old friends, make some new ones and meet some 914Club celebrities. I sold more than enough junk rare 914 parts to pay for the trip, plus make up for taking the day off work. I would guess the total attendance was 80 people. There were about 12 guys selling parts. I think there were around 20 teeners there, most of them were VERY NICE and quite a few sixes. A few tail draggers, one lone 356 plus a couple with Zora Arkus-Duntov body kits.

Here are a few shots of the action.

Posted by: weird_looking_cactus Apr 4 2004, 08:51 PM

Dang I wish I was there. I would of been all over the parts. I really need a 914 parts car. But my 914 is the very first one I have ever seen so doubt I will find another anytime soon.

Posted by: Red-Beard Apr 4 2004, 09:07 PM

Uh - grab a trailer and come to San Diego....It's sitting in Mike's backyard...

I finally made it home myself about 45 minutes ago. Pics later. I need a nap.

SLITS was there? I want to meet this character. Did I and not realize it?

I didn't realize that was toast either. At least we got some pics to go with names. skline is in that shot as well.

Great seeing old friends and meeting some new guys. I got a nice tan out of it too.

Posted by: ! Apr 5 2004, 09:49 AM

Yeah he was there....looked like Bernbomb....only uglier....

Posted by: jkeyzer Apr 5 2004, 10:02 AM

Hey James, sorry I missed out on the swap, I was looking forward to seeing you and Mike and Sean there... I flaked out at the last minute. Looks like it was a good one.

Next time!!!

Posted by: SpecialK Apr 5 2004, 10:11 AM

With any luck!

If I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself

Posted by: Dave_Darling Apr 5 2004, 11:57 AM

"Be good to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone!"

Maybe if I'd'a been nicer to mine, I could'a helped Glen push that other non-running 951 back into the lot. (Yes, there was another one in addition to the red one you-all helped him with.)

Got to meet Toast's Pappy (inventor of the "blue flame seat heater") again, and finally met Toast in person. Even met Jason's (from Pelican) new wife.

Good to see everyone again. I'll have to show up to at least a few more of these. Heck, maybe I'll even be able to show in a 914 some day? (Yeah right!)

Pics, hopefully, to follow later today. Yes, Z--even your next avatar.

I met lots-O-old friends there (some older than others), hadn't seen some of em in a long while.

I met the toastmistess for the first time and Mikey and Ingo forced me to drink beer against my will

I gave several spirited rides in the turbo-tail dragger and didn't break anything, sold enough crap to donate $5 to Glenn and buy an 18 pack and still get home with a little more $$$ than I started with. Besides the sunburn it was a very good day

When we gonna get JP down here to one of these?
