fort Hunter Ligget



the mission

Posted by: dw914er Mar 30 2009, 03:15 PM

and for any 914 event

Jackstands





(clutch cable went out in the Parking lot... im sure alot of us have been there)


BTW... this wasn't some easy breezy cruise through California... this was some very spirited driving on some awesome roads... And I loved it

there were also more cars, but these were some of the better photos (ie, some more BMW's, some nice RHD mini's)

Enjoy


I def recommend going to this. I had a blast, and besides for starter going out, my car ran perfectly for the 1200 miles I put on it in the two days. Though I need an alignment, but it will be bac in action for WCR )

I guess you guys and the Ferrari were the only true "Targas"...

Posted by: 7TPorsh Mar 30 2009, 03:56 PM

oops, looks like the 308 is a hardtop..

Posted by: dw914er Mar 30 2009, 04:34 PM

I guess he works at a Porsche shop so he knew exactly how to fix his car...

As for me I got the parts from GPR so my car will be good to go whenever I replace the starter

The "Disorganizer" is Dave (and I'm not going to try to spell his last name). He owns TRE Motorsports ...well known Porsche shop. He should have been really quick thru the twisties in his six.

That car is known as the Evil Cockroach and has a long history dating back to the days of clandestine racing on Mulholland Dr in the hills above LA. For a loooong, fascinating read about that racing scene, try this thread:
