Hmmm......... Now that it is a bit closer to me I'll have to check it out. No 914 to show yet but a good reason to push the "go" pedal on the 911

i'll be in chaska in the morning, so i guess i'll troll by.

my car needs welding before i can drive it anymore though.

Paul what do you need welded.....

After a trip to the east and west coast this year already wife say's she's had enough car stuff for awhile.

I know Kelly will be at the Bug In on sunday. He entered his car.

that trailing arm ear is toast, almost completely broken. gotta drop the exhaust and buzz the undercoating off, that'll be a pita.

it'll be a project, i'm trying to get a buddy who's unemployed to do the welding while i'm at work... it'll take a couple nights because i want to check the valves and run the a/f wire & mount the gauge in the console to try managing the carbs.

If you need anything let me know....

Posted by: iamchappy Jun 6 2009, 08:31 PM

Whats the Bug in? is that the Westside VW event.
I went to the German carfest last year without my car, any chance Kelly maybe there too...

Posted by: rick 918-S Jun 6 2009, 09:43 PM

I'm not sure about the German Car Fest. I really wanted to go.

Ya, Westside show is tomorrow. (Sunday) Kelly will be there with his car. My friend Jason is driving his 62 rag top down and his GF Amy is driving her yellow Thing down. She bought the Thing at the Westside show last year.

I wanted to drive the 66 down but Sandy requested my presents at the lake. We have a BBQ planned at the lake the end of August. Target date is the 21st. Everyone is invited. I'm remodeling the outhouse for the guests.

We have heavy equipment showing up next week for phase IV of the dirt work. This should bring us very near having a buildable lot.

Seriously, Everyone is invited August 21st. I'll let you know of the date changes but so far it's August 21st.

Thanks Chappy!
I've been the imposition-of-the-year already...

Anybody have the details on time and location for this? I think I'm going to try and swing by, though unfortunately not in the 914 as it decided to grow metal feet and park itself in the garage at my parent's house.

Thanks...and that reminds me I really should get around to joining the PCA and Nordstern. I tend to forget that I can do that now.

Look forward to seeing everyone there!

Posted by: lotus_65 Jun 11 2009, 06:48 PM

do you have a black car?

Posted by: iamchappy Jun 11 2009, 08:02 PM

I'm planning on going, see you there......

I haven't decide to register or not, i dont know if i want to commit to the entire time frame.

Posted by: lotus_65 Jun 11 2009, 08:14 PM

i just got things worked out... 115 mains on 3 cylinders, 125 on 1, oh and a huge piece of junk stuck in one main on the other side... i guess i CAN be both too rich and too lean!

dunkle

i'll be with 914 jalopy unregistered, and we won't stay long.

Posted by: tdiddy Jun 12 2009, 11:02 AM

No, I've got a car that's about 3-4 shades of faded blue.

Chappy if you want I can stay and watch your car for the entire time and drive it back to your place at the end of the show! ;-) Ha! I wish... Look forward to seeing you guys.

And I'd like to thank MNDOT for closing all of the highways between my place and Shakopee. FYI, sounds like a stretch of 35W south of Minneapolis and a section of 94 east of Minneapolis are going to be closed over the weekend.

Posted by: lotus_65 Jun 12 2009, 11:12 AM

you'll be happier taking 694 all the way around or hit 169 down anyway.

Posted by: Phoenix-MN Jun 12 2009, 12:09 PM

Enjoyed being at the show today, weather was perfect. Kelly and i didnt do so well
with our 914's in regards to winning any type of awards but plenty of people were still very interested in our cars.

Peoples choice and favorite Porsche at the show awards went to a new red GT2. I didnt even notice it parked together with all the other GT2 and GT3's there, i guess
you need a trained eye to appreciate the differences.


Best of show went to a Mercedes 300SL vintage race car which i think won last year also.

I didnt take any pictures today but i think Kelly did...maybe he will add them to this thread.

Posted by: db9146 Jun 14 2009, 09:09 PM

What...no pics?

Posted by: iamchappy Jun 14 2009, 09:51 PM

Kelly took some pictures maybe he will post them. i saw some here on another forum.
