car looks awesome!!

Took Kenny for a drive in his own car (he's still 15, I remember the day when My dad drove my car home), It drove 10 times nicer than my 2.0! Had a nice consistant power, but I cant compair it to my 2.0 because I just dont remember it . Unfortunately I was unable to take any corners, but it seemed to stop good!

Paint looks awesome! I am not to thrilled that they decided to bondo instead of replace the pannel, (looks exactly like the repair done on MY car...) But It turned out very nice.

Now, Im just curious when we'll be Turbo'ing the 1.7!!! Im all up for that kind of project

Hammy, Kenny, wana have a git together with Scott over christmas? Before I tear apart my car? My house, we'll have a BBQ or something? Photo opp with the 944's? Josh G might want to show up as well???

Glad you posted kenny! Im working on getting a new sway bar right now..

Andrew... would be cool to have a get together! i wouldn't be able to bring my car though... gas tanks out, yada yada.

Posted by: Andyrew Dec 12 2005, 01:54 AM

How long till yours is running?

Just curious.. I think a cruze down mchenry would be fun...

Posted by: Hammy Dec 12 2005, 02:06 AM

Oh, definitely not by Christmas. I'm hoping by late winter, early spring. That's just a hope though. Be fun being in another 914 though, as i've only been in mine.
how come you're tearing apart your car? a Mchenry cruise would be cool, give the ricers something to ponder at.

Oh they know full well my car...

I've got friends with big mouths... lol

And taco bell is a big hit with the teen hot rodders... (burnout contests.. I know every car...)

Well, Im thinking like sunday?

Posted by: Hammy Dec 12 2005, 04:59 AM

Yeah i notice t.bell is packed Fri. and Sat. nights.
Sundays are good for me.

Posted by: Toast Dec 12 2005, 11:51 AM

WOW! I'm so glad you saved it!

I remember when you first posted about it being hit and you was going to total it. It was sad.

But, glad to see another revived 914 on the road again!

Looks great!

Posted by: GTeener Dec 12 2005, 07:02 PM

Posted by: orange914 Dec 13 2005, 12:07 AM

hey andrew, hammy, sunday would work for me can you get a hold of Josh G. about comming. Since im between modesto and turlock, what do you guys think about meeting at my house about 1:30 or so and we could do a really cool photo shoot of all the cars together. and do whatever from there.

Kenny

Posted by: Andyrew Dec 13 2005, 03:20 AM

I'll email josh today, and give him a ring tomorrow.

Maybe he can come. I dont know if his car is drivable yet though.

Kenny, reason I want it at my house is cus I dont really want to drive my car

engine has not been acting right since the car show.

Andrew

Also, I have a "date" with da parents and female to see the new narnia move, but thats sometime before 5....

Late lunch sound ok?

We'll get a time when I contact Josh.

hey andrew... monday would be great.

Andy (my brother) would be my chauffeur as you know cause i dont have my liscense... lol

Andy gets off of work at about 2:00 p.m. So sometime after that would work for me, you could come here in the 944 and we could go wherever from here? what do you think?

kenny

p.s. who's scott?
