Standing outside the house in my driveway with a cooler drinking until 2:00AM. Neighbors and family think I'm nuts. Only the few and the proud here can relate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

Ah, still so much to learn, grasshopper! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

A folding chair with cup-holders and a parasol is the only way to go ...

PS: Besides that, i think i'm going to clean my 914 a bit before the WCR. She's been sitting outside all "winter". Maybe an oil-change.

I fixed my horn and fog lights. Put new tires on the rear, didn't think the DOT legal slicks were the best to take to the mountains. If I fix the reverse lights, 100% of my car will be funcional ready for WCR. I even put the windshield wipers on! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Praying I didn't break the engine driving from Fair Oaks Sunday afternoon. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)

Hope Jerry Woods Enterprises' boys can figure out and fix GTEENER's engine/oil circulation problem in time to drive her up for the fun.

i've been sittin' on the sidelines, watching all the WCR threads and wishing our lives weren't so busy right now. BUT...

i was thinking since we've met so many of you guys over the last years, maybe you all could push kenny to take a work day off to drive up with the caravan. i know he'd love to take the new motor out for a good drive. we just haven't thought we could all make it because of everthing going on.

so heres my pitch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) both you andy's, keith, jon, computors4kids (sorry don't know your name yet, but we've talked!) heres kenny's cell # (209-581-3233)-talk him into at least running up there with you guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)

next year........ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) i've only been trying since the 07 WRC when the old motor dropped a valve seat the night before (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Flying into PDX, fixing Jakeodoule's gear box issues, driving out that or the next day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I already keep weird hours and have the constitution to hang with the drink.

I might change the oil. But other than that and some clean up she is ready and steady... I will be trailering because Yopu says that is what I want to do... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Mike,
I'll be coming-up 99 and right through Ceres and then breaking off before Sacramento to connect with the caravan. If I go up into Sac it would add 45 more minutes to the drive. Point B on my map is the same as point G on the one posted for the bay area guys. I'm open but...
