Doin' fine just Northwest of Boston... My 3600 mile round trip from Boston to Florida and back, via Atlanta and the Eastern Shore of Maryland over Christmas, in the 914, sans roof, satiated me for many months to come.. the 914 is poised and ready for Spring's eventual return...

can't speak for others though...

On the green car I'm in the middle of cleaning out my gas tank and replacing all of the rubber lines below the tank. Finally the garage feels warmer than my freezer.

The red car is running but the battery is shot. Need to pick up a new battery. Maybe after this weekend's thaw I can get the red car back on the road.

I never put mine to bed for the winter, although it has had a nice nap for the past 3 weeks due to the slushy salty mess. Fired it up yesterday and took a run to charge up the cold battery. Even got a new inspection sticker about an hour ago to keep the fuzz off my back.

53 degrees and sunny tomorrow in Philly. I can't wait to act all mad when the wife asks me to run 20 errands while she watches the spud.

I have been working on my F-1 project lately in the very little amount of spare time I have (ME student). Next week I'm on break so she'll get to pulled out of hibernation for me to do a little more bodywork. She's almost ready for paint which should come by late May I hope. I might even go for a little drive depending on the weather. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I fired up the 6, 60 here in DC today. Put putted around for 30 minutes, fueled up & put 8oz of Stabil in the tank. It was nice! I need to run the 4 desperately, been 5 months. She's in storage, properly, so hopefully will fire right up at the end of the month if all goes well... I think I found a home for the twins. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

I'm ready!! It looks like today's monsoon has taken care of the remaining salt, hopefully the last of it. Time to tune up the carbs and....well everything else can wait...its suppose to break 50 here this weekend - time to take the roof off for the season! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Mine is still up on jack stands. I pulled the tank a few months ago to put in a front sway bar and replace the fuel lines. I'm hoping the warm weather this weekend will melt the continental ice shelf that formed in my garage from the last storm/thaw/freeze. Once it melts I'll be getting back to work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) . The roads here are pretty well salted so it will be a few more weeks before I take her out of hybernation.

gonna be getting mine ready for the road here shortly. the ice and slush storm today and an extra load of salt on the road may delay things a bit though....

My car is "official", it's been on jack stands throughout the winter. I HAVE to replace that darned fuel pump and then hopefully it will run. I've wimped out on further progress due to the cold temps we've had over the last 6 weeks. I'm ready for spring!

I can't wait to get outta the house and over at MovieTime again. MovieTime's been pretty busy lately (just finished a new TV show, "The Black Donnellys", Monday nights, NBC)...I'm sure we could get some space over there, just need to ask.

I actually found another 1.7L that needs tons of work. I'll really get a chance to work on my welding skills....
