That's my side of town. I will definitely try and make it. I know one teener and three guys with 944s. I will let them know.

Reminder. Tomorrow am. Something to do before it gets to 100 degrees.

Technically, shouldn't it be N2 vs. H2O? After all, air is 78% N2 and only 21% O2.

Turn out was about what I expected. Probably 15 cars in total, plus a 66 Baracuda.




Cool venue. Quite a few folks road in on their bikes. First it's PDX and Jay works at Chris King Components with my son. My son road in on his collapsible Bromptown.
Took him home in the RS. He had to carry it on his lap. Strut brace in the trunk. Harness bar and belts in the back.

Just saw this, Cary. Liked the title. At first I thought it was the conversion crowd vs. the air suckers. Hope you guys had a great time.

Will give this some thought. If all goes well, the 914 will be in the paint shop. But I need to get the 911 out another time or two to shake out the cobwebs prior to driving it to Werks next month.

Would love to make this if I can get my car back together...

wow! I could have help you yesterday the whole afternoon since we are not doing anything! A family vacation here in Portland at my wife twin sister's family. Heading back home to SoCal on wednesday.

Nothing like a teener-related excuse to ditch the fam for a bit...

It would have been great, but I'm still waiting on some parts so it's got to sit as-is for the week.

Reminder: Saturday Porsche get together at Elevator Cafe.

Would enjoy being there but helping my brother at a PIR event Saturday. I hope you have another gathering in August or September. Looks like a nice venue.

I'm looking for a road trip to see how my car (and butt) handle a longer tour. Will check with Julie and see if she willing to get up early on Saturday morning.

Posted by: arne Jul 18 2017, 09:58 AM

Turns out I have a conflict for this Saturday after all. Keep us posted if a third event is held this Summer.

Posted by: PanelBilly Jul 18 2017, 04:32 PM

Looks like I'm coming. Will just head out early that morning.

Reminder for tomorrow morning ......................

Posted by: mzalanka Jul 22 2017, 04:01 PM

Very cool to meet everyone this morning.

Special shout out to PanelBilly & spouse for making the haul down from Kent, Wash. I saw the http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=313504&hl= in person and it is indeed badass. That thread needs to go in the classics.

Let's do it again in August!

The car ran just fine all the way there and back. If it wasn't for the the traffic on the way back I would have been a lottery happier. The engine spits and sputters until it warms up, but then it runs smooth. This the stop and go on the freeway was easy to manage. I'm going to need to do a bit of cleaning from the bugs!

Photos?

Posted by: RickS Jul 22 2017, 10:43 PM

Looks like no one showed or the H2O won.

Posted by: cary Jul 22 2017, 11:45 PM

Four 914's
I missed taking pictures of the first wave of Australian guys and mzalanka.

Posted by: mzalanka Jul 23 2017, 10:43 AM

The sole water pusher that "showed."

(Elevator Cafe is a pretty cool place.)

Posted by: steuspeed Jul 23 2017, 07:28 PM

Bummer, I was working. I'm make the next one though. Two 944 guys live a few blocks from me. I'll let them know too.
