This year will be a little different than the past ones. We will hold it down at my shop. I have a nice two post lift and access to car scales so we can get your car weight and if need, try to and corner balance them. We can go for a drive or??? later in the day.

Thanks to all that made the trip out and you are welcome. So now you know where the shop is and if you are going to be in the Portage area please look me up!

Big thank you to Brad Mayeur for the give aways and the great techsession talk.
This will be a yearly event.

We had a great time and it was nice to see the old friends and make some new ones also. I had to laugh, it's true about us 914 owners. We see a parts car and we have to go look and see if there is anything we need. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I have a 75 parts car outside the shop and was able to help a few people with some parts they needed.

Al, I have the latch here at home and drop it in the mail Monday. Also who won the oil change kit? I have it at the shop drop me a PM and we will see how we can get it to you.

Thanks again to all that came out and I hope to see you soon.

Here are some pictures from the event.
