That picture was sent from work. Had to drop stuff there on my way out of town. I left my house a little after 7

So basically you're saying you left late.
Posted by: ConeDodger May 15 2014, 10:00 AM
Holy Shizit! I never imagined you would get the motorcycle on the trailer with the car, but the BBQ too!
And another thing, Why is Jamie leaving so late???

Never mind late - why is Jamie leaving with finishing his car? Oh I see - Wills must have been around the car...

This is weird...
Normally when you go to WCR there are about 80% 4 cylinders. So far by informal parking lot poll, we have 75% 6 cylinders! Smallest is a 2.7, a bunch of 3.2's, and SirAndy's 3.6. It's going to make for an interesting drive tomorrow!

And in the near future this will read "Normally when you go to WCR there are about 80% w/Porsche engines. So far by informal parking lot poll, we have 75% with Subaru engines!" 
Have tons of fun, be safe and post lots o' pic's w/ names.

I guess I fit in the middle with a 2.2L 5 cylinder turbo
But wait mine is not a 914, just an old Audi

This event is on the wrong coast. Why can't we have an event on the middle coast? South Padre anyone? I honestly can't think of anything better than 914's, BBQ, and maybe guns. Y'all left coasters can come and partake in some Freedom if you'd like

All it takes is some like-minded individuals to organize an event and teeners WILL show up.

Very true! I have 3 I go to. None are usually to close but what the hell. Nothing like a good road trip. This year I'm actually hitting all 3. Already did Route 66 which ended up being a 3500 mile round trip. All with no problems but the stench of a dead animal for the second half
. I am here at WCR in Lake Tahoe now. Just a one day 11hour trip down here. Next up will be Red Rocks in September:Qarl: . Some day I hope to get out east for one

Tim from Original Customs drove up to Redding with the trailer to pick him up. So Steve & his car are headed to Sonoma for some work.
Posted by: sixnotfour May 18 2014, 09:29 PM
His clutch is somewhere between the engine and the transmission...Problem Solved..

Just got to Sonoma - Thanks Tim! As Tim was unhooking the straps he discovered that the driver's side CV joint failed. Hoping we can make a few other necessary upgrades while my car is under the knife at Original Customs. Throttle linkage, new synchros, eliminate exhaust leaks, maybe a new clutch...
What an awesome weekend of driving!

I'm surprised no one has asked about "That Guy."
I'll let you guys vote...
First we have Wes, he made his bid very early. On arrival in fact. A group of early arrivals were sitting in camp chairs on the roof around our parked 914's. Wes pulled up with his full sized Ford pick-up. We all looked over at him wondering who he was I guess and he looked back at us. A little too long it seems as he drove right into the wall on the outside of the ramp with his front bumper That's Wes on the left. Marty chooses great company!
Next, we have Steve who proudly accepted the award for longest distance traveled... Then, didn't make it home. Steve accepting his award.

That is a relative point. Growing up in Minnesota where you cannot buy alcohol after 10PM or on Sunday, we used to make the few hundred mile drive to Thunder Bay to get Labatt's or Molson on Sunday... It was the craziness of youth but it was worth the trip just for the memories!

When I do get the award I expect it to come with a powerful headache and an awful thirst the next morning. So this year I will decline, with thanks.
And I don't think any of the really big breweries make anything "worth" drinking, regardless of where they are from.

Ha, thanks for the compliments, guys! I love 914s, but I don't have the garage space right now. I've currently got three cars and only a one-stall garage.
Some day, I'd really like a GT replica with a G50 and a 3.3 Turbo... (Yeah, I'm a dreamer).
@ConeDodger, you've got a PM.

One of the more heavily modified cars, however, used a twin-plug 3.6 liter from a 993 in the back of his race-ready 914.
Honestly, how that car is considered streetable is beyond my comprehension.

Easy, just be very careful with the loud pedal ...
