The Euro 6 is a surprise to see in the hills of KY - esp. that early on.
"Euro" ???
US Side Markers - check
US only engine lid PORSCHE letters - check
US Spec tail lights - check
I don't see anything "Euro" about that car ...

The shot of Pat cleaning and polishing is a classic! That's either the look of magnificent concentration or it was taken immediately after trying the old, "hmmm, I wonder if I should try licking it . . . "

Speaking of tail lights, do both Paul and Pat have Euro lenses in these pics? Really Pat?

Remember, this was 1981! Yes, I had euros F & R because they were cool. Even toyed with mounting euro rear markings, but that would reqire drilling & you KNOW how I feel about that!
Eventually gave the euro F & R lenses, as well as a nearly perfect front chrome bumper to a bud who had piced together 2 wrecked 914's & built a 3.4 (that's right) to put into it. It was awesome!
Yeah, I'm stupid - I try to help the needy, not the greedy. Wish I had the bucks for everything I've given away.

Nope, I always have my tongue out when working. Don't ask me why.
As I recall (some memories are still there), I was putting glycerin on the ball jpint boots.
That was a good year for me.

Ashville and environs was a very nice locale.....

IMO that is the "ideal" location for a meet. Blue ridge parkway, Tail of the dragon, Biltmore Castle, great roads, tons of local things to do, nice people ect.
Almost moved to Ashville in 1998, Boulder won out with a coin toss (no joke)
Having just been to Keystone Parade, I can say that feild looks much more interesting than the cars we had on the lawn.
Keep them coming!

Chuck Stoddard is asking Werner "What do we need to do to get this flat 8 out of this and into my 914?"

Werner: "First to open the engine lid we must figure out"
Chuck: "Noooo problem. The factory didn't put an internal release on these babies"

kubelwagen in the background? Any of the racers driven around the grounds?

Fantastic! I'm going to find that little Peabody guy. Man, I would love to walk around that field.
Totally loving Pat's wheels BTW. And from the look of these 30 year old pics, Paul found the Way Back Machine during his recent resto.

Considering the 907 tipped the scales just over 1350lbs, that's a nice power to weight ratio.

No, it's a piece of lint, or some anomaloy from the photographer. Never had a chip there. Only one elewhere & it is still there.

You know, since it's "my day in the well" for bad Parade pics, lets add this one (shows that I have no pride, nor shame) from the 89 Reston Parade, where I placed a dismal 3rd in the concours (0.8 point spread from 1st to third!), and the winner cheated! Won't go into it any more, but here's my favorite picture from that event. Do I look like a donkey, or what?

First, your car looks fantastic. Completely digging those wheels.
The donkey effect probably has something to do with the glass in your hand. Most of us have been there - right after the 'donkey' phase usually comes the 'complete ass'

'complete ass' You're correct! I had taken my leave of the lunch & wine that Porsche had supplied.
I was really pissed! 0.6 points sepatrated first and third place. Number 2 car was the best & he beat me by 0.2 points, I'm OK with that. The car that won was a sloppily prep'd car from Virginia & they take care of there own. Shouldn't have even in the mix, yet they made it win.
Still pissed? You betcha! Shouldn't have won, but shoulda been 2nd. The worst loss I've ever had & it had a pronounced affect on me.

Thanks for the pics, Paul!
Nice Mary Hopkins reference too. When I was a kid I thought it was Snow White singing that song sounds like the same person when you're 6

Very nice pictures ...
Is this Ashville in North Carolina ? It's a place I visited about 10 years ago during my first trip in the USA.
Your pictures have faded a lot. Yellow is missing, that's why the grass became blue. You will have to make color correction.
