I see Andy is already registered for full concours. Anyone else going?
http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm/eve...3D#.VWerJflVhBc Although it's not really a concours car (I drive it a lot now! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ), I was thinking about entering my green 914-6 in the concours. It would push me to finish up the last few small things... -Steve |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) .... Thanx to all your Teeners who turned out!
I tried to get around to all of you before I had to start judging at 9:45 or afterwards, but my alarm failed to go off & I was there just in time for the 8:45 judges meeting. No - I can't blame the wife this time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) It was great to see some of you again & meet new ones for the first time in person, to put faces to the screen names as others have said above. Apologies to Steve's daughter, as this is the first year since I've done it in 2009 that the Porsche Tractor & trailer was not there to give the kiddies rides! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Again as with our great turn-out in Temecula - I got a lot of comments from the other Concours judges, committee, other P-car owners, vendors/sponsors, etc. about how many 914s showed up, how nice they were & how nice it was for so many of the younger gen to participate in PCA events ... & then the eventual reminisences of how either their own earlier Porsche or a buddies was a 914, how great they handle, etc. We 914 owners really are respected in the Porsche crowd now - as opposed to the 1970's snobbish tail-draggers who were really just jealous of how well our little squarish go-carts handle! Of course we still exchange jabs with each other in good humor! Something it took Porsche another 35-40 years & gobs of electronic nannies to overcome in the tail-draggin' 911 clan! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Of note, while I was judging Full Concours - Engine (among 6 area judges on Exterior, Interior, Storage, Engine, Undercarriage w/ & w/out engine) - Both SoCal Andy & Dave/Toolguy had perfect scores ~ no or zero deducts!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) And as you know, Andy just drove 2000+/- miles for WCR in his! Dave - well lately Dave only drives his on & off the trailer! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ... but still - out of the 7 Full Concours cars there - 2 914-6s, 2 early 911 & 912 (one 911 has 430,000+ miles & was the Peter Porsche Award winner at the Monterey Parade a couple of years ago), & 2 "modern" 911s (996/997) - BOTH 914s & the also driven 69 912 had perfect engines! Much to Andy's chagrin - Dave won class for 914 in Full & the 912 won class & overall - but I'd bet that the overall scores were much closer. Several judges on the team commented that it would be almost impossible to pick a top score winner - & we don't tally the scores for each area - the scoring team does that. Frankly, Andy got robbed on one 0.1 pt. by the interior judge which I wouldn't have deducted for his glovebox door not being perfectly centered at the ends - 1/16" at most difference, & I suggested a fix if he has another too-anal judge - since the door isn't really adjustable as we all know. So here are some of my crappy & taken too fast cell phone pix of those I could get in the short time between the judges meeting & judging .... As you saw in prior & much better pix - we had another 918 Hybrid Spyder at this Concours!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . .... more ....
