I left Oklahoma @ oohhdarkthirty in order to get there by opening @ 8AM. I parked next to a pickup that turned out to be Clay with beaucoup parts for sale.

I sold some surplus parts but it was worth it just to see some nice cars. I didn't get names so if anyone wants to claim credit please chime in.

Okay, shameless plug, this is my '76 LE wannabee. On the ground now for a year and a half. OOMMMGG it feels good.

But this one looked just as good. Has Raby engine parts, 125HP on the dyno.

This one looks fast.

This one looks expensive.

I made it out, but left the car at home, until I get the engine sorted. Did make a couple of connections. Went home and took the car for a lap of the neighborhood and almost tried to risk it to run back. Good news is that My car is not as bad as I feared it might be, bad news is that the passenger side handles does look broken at the handle, so I will be in the market for a new one. Thanks to the 914 guys who were out there. It was great to meet you all!
I know ClayPerrine was one, who else?

Here's a cute little sister. This is a "new" Bug from Mexico, not somebody's custom job.

And here's our rich uncle. This is a '60's S. Wow.

Thanks to Clay for announcing it here on the forum and to Zim's for the donuts and parking lot and discount on parts purchases.

Thanks for the pics. I work Saturday so I'll never make these. If there were some Sunday events.......

The orange 914 is my wife's 1.8L daily driver.

The Blue one belongs to Mark Hannah.

The red VW is a 2002 Mexican Bug, titled as a 72 for import. It belongs to the parts manager for Zims, Dennis Butts.

The silver 1968 911 belongs to Mike Kuhn. He works for Mayo Performance.

The red 914 is a 73 2.0 that came from California. It is is absolutely beautiful shape. The owner had me look it over and there is no rust that I could find. It even has the original rear trunk pan with the vin number intact. I have to apologize, but I don't remember the owner's name.

Glad you could come down and join us.

I made it down there also, sold an 2.0 intake to Clay, Clay also pulled the Fan adapter off an old crank for me.

Apparently I missed not only all of the doughnuts, but all of the 914's except for the orange one that Clay's wife drives on a daily basis. It is as pretty in person as the picture shows. Had a chance to meet and talk to Clay for a few minutes until we had to leave to return to the kid's sporting events. I wish I could have stayed longer to talk - nice to meet someone with obviously that much passion and knowledge about these cars.
