[poorsche914]

Ok, all you Can Am/Limited Edition 914 enthusiasts.... this is the gathering you have been waiting for (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of these special cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Okteenerfest will double as a reunion for all Limited Edition 914s. I know there are a LOT of these 914s in the Southeast (and beyond) so dust 'em off and tune 'em up to make the journey to Townsend, TN this September 25-27. Let's make this the largest gathering of Limited Edition 914s in the world (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Don't have a 914 LE? No worries. ALL 914s are welcome to join in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) the awesome mountain roads of east Tennessee and western North Carolina. Since the government shutdown affected nearly 3/4s of our original route in 2013, we will be using that same route for this year. Dubbed "der Nebelbergring", the route circles the Smokies and includes not only the world-famous 318 curves of the Dragon, but also Foothills Parkway, a portion of Moonshiner 28, Little River Road, and a run through Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

In addition to the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif), Okteenerfest will feature plenty of good eating, an awards ceremony, tons of give-aways from the most awesome vendors, a Peoples Choice Car Show, and some of the nicest people you will ever meet gathered in a single place (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Yeah, I agree. I haven't gotten AAA because I felt it would be safer to not drive it out of town. But, in this case, I will get it right before I go for peace of mind. I also need to figure out what kind of fire extinguisher to get for my car just in case. I also want to add a second oil cooler as well since I'll be driving at high rpms for a long time. Need to figure out which kind/size to get. I'm also going to check the brakes close to then and go ahead and get new tires for it soon so by then they will be nice and sticky in case those twisty roads are wet.

Oh yeah, and my radio works and is OG. But of course, I can barely hear it at 80 mph. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

The only time I saw higher oil temps was on the long uphill grades in the mountains of NC/TN. Even they, they weren't that high.

I'm running the factory engine mounted engine cooler on my 6 (similar to what your 2.0 has) so I doubt you'll have an issue.
