AARRRRrrr Hershey be coming up fast, me thinks it be time to get our caravanings planned. Donald ( hotshoe ) is coming through Richmond to drop his car off at my shop and he and I will be leaving from there. So do we want to try and get a caravan started and meet up with other groups on the way. Ever increasing our evil empire of Porsche dominance and irritation ????? Got new shocks on the 944, dropped the front, and will be putting in a new clutch this weekend if all goes as planned.

Rich If you have never done a 944 clutch it will take all day if it goes smooth. problem areas are the flywheel sensor rotted in adjustable holder - bottom starter ear sometimes breakes off - pulling throw out bearing pivot shaft frozen in bell housing etc I done these for years Any questions or tips call me at my shop 717 238-1810 Paul |

I'll probably see y'all there. Having a 15 year old dog who runs on her own schedule makes it nearly impossible to say I will be at a specific point in space at a specific point in time.
Need a coil wire for the 911... |

Took my 914 to work today to make sure I had some miles on it with the new carbs to see if it needed more tuning. I don't think that it does.
Now my goal is just to have a nice enough weekend day where I can spot paint and sand and buff all the damn dings that the car got in storage over the winter. Then get it washed and a coat of wax on it. My plan is to drive up to Mikes place friday. Depending on when the caravan is, I might take part with it, at least for the shortish PA side of the ride. |

Your route from Richmond will probably take you on Rt 95 from Washington thru Baltimore then up Rt 83 to Harrisburg. I will go very early up Rt 15 past Gettysburg to Harrisburg and want to take the Vanagon up to haul someone's rusty junk back home.

Jim's got the right idea... even for those coming from Richmond, I'd recommend I-95, to I-495 West (Tyson's Corner), to I-270, up to 15 through the Catoctin Mountains. Prettier and not much longer.
I'm not sure if I'll be at Hershey, but I live a mile and a half from I-95 in Springfield, just outside the DC Beltway. I know I've never met most/all of you, but maybe I can volunteer my place for a coffee & bagel stop? |

Hoping we can get a caravan heading down from up north. Just picked up a go pro hd camera for the trip and that would make it alot of fun getting some high speed hooliganism to tape.
I mean getting some safe considerate driving to tape. |

I *may* stay for the AX. depends on my class, family needs and weather at the time. End of the semester, and a lot of stuff is going to be due around then.

... I'm not sure if I'll be at Hershey, ... You're gonna regret it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) In one of the other threads about Hershey, someone said that event sponsors get admission to the amusement park. If someone can help me score tickets, I will try to convince the wife that it's a family trip... I can also try getting a day-pass to drive up & back on my own on Saturday, but I think my odds are better if I spin it as fun for the whole family. |
