I'm going to join in...

914's at 7477 ft. Snow cresting Soldier Summit on the way to the event.



A bevy of teeners invade the "Needles Overlook" in southern UT. We were met with some bazaar weather this trip. The hotel desk clerk said she hadn't seen it like that in 40 years. It was in the mid-sixties vs. the mid-eighties. Very unseasonale... good for air-cooled cars.




The rain and the weather turned out to be a blessing in some regards. We got some awesome views from the top of the overlook (looking South).

McBurger saving the day on Dave's car

About 50 miles out of Moab Dave's immaculate "Time Capsule" started making funny "dropped valve seat/exhaust leak" noises. He limped to the hotel and put on a really bummed face. The next morning Mark came to the rescue by pulling the valve cover and finding an adjuster screw had worked it's way loose. It was a little worn but still very usable and in what seemed like 10 minutes, Dave was grinning from ear to ear and running on the Arches drive.

Did we mention that it's the people not the cars?



Way-ta-go Mark...

The Aaron-mobile:


He came up behind me coming back from the awards dinner and he had those damn lights on,,, I could see him coming up on me and then it was like 40 welding arcs in my rear window and mirrors. I had to duck my head to keep the light from the mirrors from blinding me. He passed me, then I see the walls of the canyon lighting up in front of me and the light is moving down the canyon. His left blaster light got tilted up and to the left from wind,, he was lighting up the canyons walls as he was driving down the canyon along the colorado river,,, it was a sight to behold.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Sep 24 2006, 04:36 PM

Let the celebration begin. Saturday morning and the staging for the Arches NP trip. Teeners stretch all the way to the white sign in the distance. We even had an awesome 968 from the land of enchantment join in... great car.

It was kinda difficult getting this picture as SLITS was dry humping me (Brant will post the picture I'm sure...)

Minor correction.

Dave pulled the valve cover and found the problem. SirAndy fished around and found the adjuster screw and the lock nut, and I put it back together. It was a team effort. It was great to be able to enact a quick fix and get Dave back into the event.

I have pictures too, but after 1000 miles and 13 hours in the car, it's bed time.

wow - there are lots of *really* nice and impressive photos

seems that you had big fun and a great time
the only thing that would scare me off is to drive my teener through the snow

Great Story:

While in Arches National Park, the group pulled into one of the parking lots for viewing the scenery. I noticed an older gentlemen talking to my wife and then I hear my wife say, "you should talk to my husband". The gentlemen then turns to me and started asking me about all these cars.. He had an ancent as well.

Turns out the older gentlemen and his wife were both from Stuggart. He asked if porsche had made this model car for the american market only, he told me he had never seen this car before. I was amazed that him and his wife never seen the 914 before... Then he started taking pictures of all the cars and commented how nice they were.

There must not be many 914s in Europe.

Aaron, I had a really wonderful time at the RRC. I'll remember our drive out of the park for as long as I live.

Jason and Ernie, thanks for caravaning with me. You both treated me really nice for a couple of fellow Zonies who had never met me before! Let's do it again next year.

And now...
How we saved Howards car!

It was late on Sat. night. And most everyone had gone to bed. We were having a final beer, and all of a sudden we noticed that Howard's car was rolling out of the parking lot. The guys panicked, but the girls jumped right into action and tried to stop the car.






Unfortunately, the girls weren't able to stop the car. So the five of us worked together and were finally able to stop the car but sitting on the rear trunk.




Luckly, it worked!



Howard, here are the people you can thank next year.

Ya, but I let Eric lead me out
Besides, you ended up saying it anyway

And what? have we all become delicate little flowers, that we need to watch what we say?

I'm sorry brian if i hurt your feelings. I really did not mean what i said. It was a cruel thing to say to such a nice person as yourself. You are a great person to have in our club, and I feel lucky that you are only living a short drive away from me. It was great having you join us in our caravan out to Moab and i am really glad you were able to make the trip. Besides, instead of insulting you, I should have been applauding you for not mispelling anything in that sentence.

Posted by: LvSteveH Sep 26 2006, 05:06 PM

You guys crack me up. Upon arriving to Moab we caught everyone just as they were lining up for the drive, so we didn't even get out of the car and gave chase. Upon arriving at the first stop and talking to Greg I made the now infamous comment "I thought your car was nicer". I was about 300ft away from his car at the time, and that was the closest I had ever been to it.

Sooooo...... while it was funny, it really wasn't a reflection on Greg's VERY VERY NICE car.

Posted by: TROJANMAN Sep 26 2006, 05:07 PM

oh, and steve, of the 11 914's you own, how many did you bring to RRC this year?

Posted by: LvSteveH Sep 26 2006, 05:12 PM

Well, if it helps I'll kick in $200 towards new paint if you do it before the next RRC. That way you won't feel so self conscious. No color changes allowed, and you have to plan on keeping it for a while afterwords.
