Moving to Albuquerque, Moved! Settling in... Options

[snakemain]

Moving to Albuquerque next weekend.

Most of our stuff is already there courtesy of the USAF, so mostly just have to move my garage and a little furniture. 2 914s, a bunch of parts, motorcycle, lawnmower, tools, etc.

Bolted the engine/tranny back together for my spare/non-running 914 today and bolted it in to make the move easier.

Biggest drawback to the new place is I'll have half the garage space I currently enjoy, and they do not allow working on cars on the property. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) The spare teener, parts, lawn equipment, and a bunch of other crap will have to go into a storage unit for a couple years...(anyone want a slightly rusty disassembled '74?)

Any teeners, p-car guys, notable shops, etc. out that way?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Yep I'm in Rio Rancho, on the weekends anyway. Long story short, I work in Los Alamos and have an old dog I like to be around so I stay there during the week. Welcome to Rio Rancho in advance! My house is just 2 miles up Meadowlark from Russ' shop. I'm on the edge of Rio Rancho next to Corrales. He's seen my 914 a fair bit last year.

I'm not too active in local car events right now, but who knows? Maybe someday soon. There's a guy in northern Rio Rancho with a track prepped 914. Haven't met the guy (Dan?) who posted from Corrales. Or the guy up in Santa Fe. There's a cream 2.0 914 in Los Alamos that some guy uses as his daily driver (actually White Rock which is where I stay when I'm there). Dunno who he is.

We're around, here and there! Sounds like you got stuck with an annoying neighborhood association. I'm lucky, we can do anything here. Joe O'Brien (Series9) used to live here and he built about four cars here in this very garage! Neighbors are redneck turbo diesel tinkerers (cool guys actually) and there are others. Lucky neighborhood I'm in!

Drop a line when you're here. Maybe we can get a 914 weekend drive on some of our mountain twistys! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

EDIT: Oh yeah, expect 15% power loss on anything without forced induction, assuming everything else is working tip top. If we go up into the hills, nearing 10,000 ft, it's proportionally worse. Rare air!
