Went to the 4th annual Gmünd West event in Brighton, CO. Put on by George and Sharon Maybee. What a great day! Lots of cars and quite a few of the local 914ers. Great to put some faces with names! Hopefully other took some pictures as well. Mine are http://homepage.mac.com/johnlush/porsche/PhotoAlbum10.html
Cheers, 
John

John,
Is that "Green Thing" in your avatar yours?
I absolutely love it... 
That color rocks!

Hi Eric! If we're lookin' at the same thing here it's the freshly painted engine compartment of my /6 conversion. Saturn yellow so maybe the color went wonky when I avatarized it????

It was great meeting some of the new Colorado-914 list guys AND I recruited a few more newbies.
Aside from Maybee's Gmund shop, this had to be the highlight of the event.

Gary Smith and his wife made it up from New Mexico. He advertises a LOT of stuff in Pano. Truly a Porsche fanatic.

Truly great pictures and captions. Thanks!!!!

I had a blast! I've got the sunburn to prove it too! Wow!!!Gint put up a picture of my car (blushes)... 
Rich: I just moved here from Indiana for that very reason(to get into the action)! There's room for more!!!

I too had an awesome time. It was great meeting some of the group members and seeing all of those wonderful Porsches.
We need to try and persuade some of the "distant" members to come out next year and compete for the "farthest distance traveled award." 
Hey Gint -- where's my car?
Posted by: Gint Jul 26 2004, 09:30 PM
Doh! Sorry Ben. I didn't really take pictures of any cars in the judged field other than the 906. There were just too many. If I had been thinking though, I would have gotten a pic of your car too. Musta been the beer. 
Posted by: Ferg Jul 27 2004, 08:37 AM
I will get my pics up by tomrrow... I have at least one of Ben's car, along with some nice 911 shots.
Ferg.
Posted by: BMartin914 Jul 27 2004, 11:18 AM
I forgive you Ginter
Thanks Ferg, just saw all these other teeners and thought hey -- where's mine at? I don't have a digital comera so I have very few pics of my 914.
Posted by: johnlush Jul 27 2004, 04:31 PM
Hi Ben! Sorry I didn't end up with a picture of your car! I guess I was distracted by everthing else or maybe your car looked too much like my "Grenade" and I subconsciously avoided it... 
Posted by: Scott Schroeder Jul 28 2004, 12:16 AM
whatever - I had the real fun this weekend... drove to fricken IOWA to ride my bike through corn - lots of corn........ you guys don't know what real fun is.
Gotta go and rub more ointment on my ass now....
