There is a good possibility that two REAL M-471 GTs will be at this year's Okteenerfest (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
And these cars will not only be shown but will be driven with the opportunity for other attendees to ride along (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
One of these is the Erich Strenger car and the other is the last GT of the line in 1971 and the only Gemini Blue Metallic one to be sent to the US. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)
Have YOU registered yet? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)

I talked to Steve and he said the Stranger could come but not probable

OK, so I put together a video from our scouting trip last weekend.

It was rainy so you get some wiper action. And Nadine was holding the camera since we couldn't suction cup it outside and didn't have a way to mount it on the dash, so there's a bit of vibration, but overall not too bad...

Each clip/transition is a different road. And we didn't record a few of the roads that we drive. As you can see...the route should be pretty nice!!

The pictures at the beginning are views from our stop at Linville Falls.

Music is Joe Satriani.

Enjoy!!!

Got rust?

Peter at Restoration Designs will be sending some heavy metal to make someone's rust go away. They have some new cool hardware as well!

We're at (18) 914s and (30) attendees (4 newcomers). Slightly down from this time last year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Thanks to all those who have registered. To everyone else... what are ya waiting for? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Some comments from current registrants:
"We have enjoyed seeing all the nice cars and people in the past. I was planning on bringing my car to the last two events but could not complete my, what turned into a 5 year, project in time."

"Great people"

"Bucket list - kinda need to go at least once (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) "

"Great people....Twisties......"

"Had such a great time last year, couldn't miss this year! And love the location and have not been there for long time."

"Slept thru the last one"

"You guys were having way too much fun without me"

"I hope those guys from New Jersey bring that "Gas Can" full of Manhattans back."

"Short ride from VA."

"I had such a great time last year I have to come back!"

"I finally have a running car... I think"

Thanks Bill, will do.
John Forbes is helping me right now, with chassis reinforcements and plumbing in the new engine. It is at his Black Forrest shop currently. Then it is back on my plate, I am working remote on as many sub-systems as possible.
Okteenerfest gave us a good goal to shoot for.
