I counted 13 914's this year. Doug won the Griot's award and John, Brad and myselft(we got longest drive as well) took Top 35 awards. A very good time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Now for the bad news... John's new 6 broke down, he had to leave for his mech to pick up. On the the way out of IN mine started acting up. We made it through IN before the drivers side of the motor stop working. Got a hold of Brad Mayuer on Sunday. We were able to limp it to his house(took 7hrs to go 150miles!) The leak down test on all 4 was good, but on the drivers side we only had 60 and 65lbs on compression and the other side was 70 and 85. We should be at 135!! Well it's still at Brad's, we'll be making the trip back this week(8hrs one way) with the trailer. Brad... what can I say, wouldn't take any money and gave us a ride to the airport. He wins the Great guy award! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Kelly--

Sorry to hear about your car but glad to hear that you and Kyle made it home safe!! Mine is still under a cover in Oxford as we speak and is being picked up tomorrow by Tab Tanner. We hit a pretty intense pocket of rain on the way to Oxford and the car got loose and never sounded the same afterwards. Tab thought we might have a valve spring (or worse) problem so to be safe we wrapped her up until we could get her on a trailer home to Tab's shop in Findlay, OH.

For entertainment purposes I also had to scramble to get back to Columbus the next morning by 11:00 AM. Car service to Dayton Airport from Oxford at 8:00 AM: $90. One way rental car from Dayton to Columbus: $51.00. Cell calls chasing down car services, rental car companies and my wife to pick Alex and I up at Budget Rental Car in Columbus: $ 12:00. Spending a weekend with great Teeners and other Porsche owners in Oxford: Priceless!!!!

I may have a few photos to post if I can get them off my phone. The slide show is up on P2O now: http://www.porsches2oxford.com/links/past-...7-slideshow.php

Great seeing you, Kyle, Doug, Van and the other Teeners at P2O 2007 and glad to hear everyone got back home in one piece!!

John
