I'm so bummed... I was hoping this weekend would be Nine's first public apperance after his ~4 year "update", but no luck. My newly rebuilt 915 (with about 500 miles on it now) just started growling something ugly. It's not a horsepower issue, as I've been taking it pretty easy (really!) because the engine isn't even broken in yet. My guess is something just wasn't assembled right and now it worked its way loose.
Sigh. It'll probably be a week or two to pull the tranny and fix whatever is wrong (Black Forest here in town built the transmission, and they are [so far] standing behind their work very well, BTW). But, I'll be there in my trusty old Oslo Blue 356 Coupe. See you this weekend! -Steve '74 914 3.6 (sick 915) '63 356 B Coupe |

Bummer! I've been waiting to see your car. I didn't even realize it was finished. The last pics I saw, it was still in the shop for paint? I think.
How about some recent pics? |

QUOTE(mikez Posted on Jan 29 2004 @ 08:12 PM ) Me or Steve? I was referring to Steve's car, but - You sold it already? Yeah, I wanted to see Blondie too. Last I heard on that you were driving it down. |

I will be there in my 65 VW bug. |

DAMN!!!!!!
Real estate agent called at last minute. Had a house that fit what I was looking for, had to go see. Good news is I got to drive Palomar and Julian roads as compensation. There are some pissed Motorcyclists who were dogged bv a 30 year old "Teener today!!!!!!!!
