Some of the cars seem to have split personalities.

It wouldn't be a 914 event without a clutch adjustment. Our friend Jeff from Texas gets the honor this time.

Did I mention we had 39 cars here? Not everyone made the outing to Needles Overlook, but a great showing and a great time. Thanks to Russ for leading the trip!

I was going to post these last night, but suddenly I couldn't get to the club anymore. I thought about going down to the parking lot and telling Andy that the site was down, but decided that might be a good thing to not do!

Here we are lining up for the Saturday run to Arches Nat'l Park

Great weather on Saturday. No rain, but the temps were a little cool when the sun went behind a cloud. But the clouds make for great pictures!

WTG Howard,,, sure glad I had the opportunity to meet you.... piratenanner.gif

Headed into Monument Valley. The back of Wild 6 was my view for most of the way home. Jason took at early this morning.

Mike Wills was running with us at first, but then took off, never to be seen again. He told us this would probably happen - some lame excuse was given about his engine running well only at idle or wide open so of course he had to go fast! I think it was just an excuse to drive fast with the new 6! biggrin.gif

My own caption? Ok...

All the witnesses said he was playing guitar just before he was found hugging the toilet... Must have been a nauseating song?

Eric... You having as much fun as last year?

That's it for my pics. What a GREAT weekend! Thanks to the Colorado & Utah gangs for putting together a wonderful event. If you didn't make it, start planning for next year - 3rd weekend in September!

Back home safe. Made good time all the way down to just outside of Phoenix. Then traffic. While sitting in traffic I had the pleasure of getting pulled over by Highway Patrol. I figgerd it was because my tags were expired(not to worry, temporary permit is in the glove box) But NOOOOoooooOOOooo....she pulled my over for excessive smoke coming from the car. It appears I have a slight oil leak that lands on one of the headers. She gave me a fix-a-ticket and sent me on my way. thumb3d.gif

av-943.gif Good one, John! Hey, when did you and Laurie disappear? We looked around for you on Saturday after the drive but you were nowhere to be found. It was really good to see you and I'm glad you made it.
