It is a very nice day out today. I am taking my 914 out to run my erands and I sure hope the rest of you fellow NW teeners are too

You better not put the top on that thing! 
Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Jan 22 2008, 01:37 PM

Today was beatiful. Took one of my clients for a ride. He was giggling like a little school girl when we went around some of the corners. I think I have him convinced that he needs to get one . I can't feel my toes though

Dammit Jon, it's almost 40 degrees this afternoon!! I keep telling you to stop driving bare-footed. Wear slippers next time! Ya weenie.

Oh, and Marc (the KELTY one), I look forward to seeing you. Just keep those nipples inside your shirt. It's hard enough keeping Troy under control. Haha.... TROY??? Where are you?

It was tough not being able to drive the 914 today with how nice it is. I was hoping to have the exhaust backdate project finished this weekend, but it looks like I need another afternoon to get it done. 
Rand, you still want the old exhaust? If so beware, as I may also try and wrangle you to help out with a break bleeding when you show up! I have a couple of cases of beer left over from a poker party over the weekend if that helps.

Hey Robert. Yes! But no coaxing needed my friend. Let's do it.
Posted by: championgt1 Jan 22 2008, 08:20 PM
It was a very nice day. I can't wait to get my car done so I can drive it on days just like today.

Rand,
We met randomly once down at Juanita Bay Park! It was last fall I think.

mine is put away and trying to find some time to sort out a couple of things like install a CD player.... 
Posted by: Rand Jan 22 2008, 09:27 PM
Geoff, what's with this creature comfort stuff? You going to play CDs that will make that thing go faster? 
Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Jan 22 2008, 09:29 PM
I can't hear the music well enough with a stereo system so I just use my iPod.

Hi Zach. I remember you now... Just didn't make the connection to your online name here.
Hey Jeff, you gonna have that thing ready for WCR? I'd love to come by and see your project some time.

Today was the first day that I commuted to work in my electric 914 with its new transmission. It's great to come to a stop light and have the car silent from the stopped motor.
Cheers,
Tim in Portland

It was a blast driving the teener today, especially when my destination was Fordahl's Shop, there is always fun P-Car stuff in there.

Guess you should've thought of that before you made that hole in your roof.

The hole in my head?
I should have taken the sunroof off and driven it today.

Its pretty cool how a nice day in Seattle will get EVERYONE out and doing something!
When I lived in Magnolia, I kept a kayak down on Lake Union and would cruise around the cut. Good times.

This area is so beautiful this time of the year when the sun is shiningthat you just can't pass up doing something or you totally miss what the NW has to offer.

Don't forget window tuning. With a solo driver the passenger window needs to drop down about an inch and a half and the driver's window about 4-5 inches from the top of the door. With a passenger, the configuration is completely different - pretty much all the way up for both windows.YMMV
Looks like another day in paradise!

Well, if you have headers with no heat you just have to dress warm. And the top only goes on for emergencies
Posted by: Bleyseng Jan 25 2008, 11:06 PM
Couldn't stand it any longer and went an got the 914. Started on the first crank (luv FI)
Drove around in the sun with the heat ON! windows up!

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Jan 25 2008, 11:11 PM

Hi Geoff - looks like you're southbound on the viaduct in the west lane. Judging from the tach you're lazing along in 4th at about 55mph. Dontcha just love the sound of the car in that covered structure?
Posted by: rhodyguy Jan 26 2008, 09:01 PM
i like the battery st tunnel in 3rd with the right foot way into the throttle. under the I-90 cover on mercer island sounds good too.

With all of Kevins help today in subfreezing tempatures I have a good feeling that I will be driving soon.
Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Jan 27 2008, 12:04 AM
Nice... Just in time to make the first AX February 16th in Bremerton. Go to pnwr.org to pre-register 
Posted by: championgt1 Jan 28 2008, 07:39 AM
Snowing? Hope everyone is NOT driving their cars today!
Posted by: rjames Jan 28 2008, 11:31 AM
No driving today, but a lot yesterday! Thanks to Rob and the muffler he sold me I drove around for a couple of hours yesterday. Made a trip over to West Seattle along Alki. Awesome view, should have brought a camera.
I didn't realize the heat I was missing out on. With the new SS in place and new heater hose (without holes in them) the teener heats up amazingly well!
BTW I love driving northbound along the viaduct, but I cross my fingers evey time I'm on there.
