I see Andy is already registered for full concours. Anyone else going?

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...

... 1 more of Dave's -



I wish I'd gotten a shot of Dave's sweet custom built low-boy car haulers which he built for this car! It was the tandem axle one in a platinum grey metallic & silver with Porsche stickers, parked at the top of the hill cul-du-sac, just past the handicapped space. Rumor is Dave is applying for a handicapped placard so nobody can park behind his rig next year! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

.

... I don't know his screen name on here, but he's won 914 class in Street for a few years running on this nice 10+/- year old resto, including last year when I judged in the Street Division (Exterior, Interior, Egine & Storage - IIRC I was Engine last year too) ....



^ I love his louvered rocker panels too! ^

Remember, we don't judge originality at these local Region & Zone 8 Concours, just preparation & presentation - just too many cars/models/MYs/sub-models/trims/etc. for anyone at this level to know them all! Originality does come into it at Parade on the national level judging though!

That's it for the 914s entered in judged categories! On to the Display guys next!

I built my car or I should say I completed my car 27 years ago before the internet before there were any support groups with discussion boards etc. I started my bare shell project in 1981 and completed in 1988. I used to do full concours and later entered in street. I have many years of class trophies. This in the snobbish days of not being a real Porsche. I did all the work with body paint mechanical in my rented shop. A lot of parts were NOS out of parts obsolete's warehouse of now un obtainable factory stuff. I was a kid in a candy store. I sometimes re live my project looking at yours. I ended up with .5 tenth deduction as I had no time to prepare. I got out of the hospital in ICU from a blood clot Saturday night! Good time with the teeners!

I bolded & italicized your embedded reply in the quote above, cuz I had a hard time finding it about your car, so maybe others too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Geez Kargeek ... I didn't know you were up here in Orange too!

SoCal Andy, you & I & maybe some others have our own little "Orange 914 Cadre" going! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hope all is okay with that blood clot now! Were you at St. Joseph's?

My wife whom you met with the pink hat is an RN there, & we met when she took care of my Grandfather in CCU in the 1980's, but she's in the MRI/CT section nowadays.

Great job on such short time available! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Tom we will have to get the Orange crew together some time in the near future. I need more excuses to get my car out of the garage.

I was at St Jude entertaining the nurses in ICU after being in the catheter lab where they snaked a catheter tube up my leg and then another down from my juggler in the neck and blast out the clot. Talk about technology, they did a second procedure with a water jet, pumped fluid with a rotating sprayer to dissolve the clot. All while you are awake feeling like you are in an alien abduction! Just like cleaning sludge out of an oil passage! Discharged Saturday, drove myself home! Nurses are the backbone of medical treatment, I know to be good to them!

Just sent you an email with my contact info.! .... & maybe Andy can do the same!?

That sounds so strange to being doing while awake! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/alien.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/alien_2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/very_first_smiley[1].gif)

Glad to hear that your unscheduled maintenance system flush at St Jude went well! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
