It's that time in Michigan when the annual 3rd weekend of August "Woodward Dream Cruise 2010" happens. Saturday Aug. 21st. is the official day when 1-1/2 million people line Woodward Ave to view everything from street rods, antiques, sport cars and you name it. The cruising really started on Monday the 16th. Our Gary Stellmach gathered a few of the local 914er's (today) Thursday in Birmingham, MI. and we had a nice turnout. The crowds were large and traffic along the 15-mile stretch of Woodward was moving at a crawl, 30-minutes to go about 1-mile, crowds were 3-4 deep along Woodward Ave. I took a few pictures of our cars as we watched the action. I am sure some of the other guys will post pictures also. Here are a few of the (67) photo's I snapped.

Tom
BTW: Today was the first time in 2-years I've had my 914 out. It's a fresh motor with a Raby #9550 cam & new cylinder heads. It runs strong.

More this morning & more later today.
Woodward Dream Cruise 2010 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Glenn Trapp gave me a ride in his 1970 914-6 real six (very late vin # in 70) track car. I needed a ride to pickup my 914 that was in the shop for tweeking. Wow, what 200-hp ++singing behind you at 80mph ++ down the freeway can do too you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Sitting in the sport seat with a 5-point harness watching Glenn stab the go petal and hitting the brakes put me in la, la land. That car is FAST!! I hope Glenn gets on here and tells us what he has. Forgot to say, full roll cage, Oh dang, it's a street thrill compared to my putt, putt 4!!!

Last one's for now, more later.

I picked up my 914 at Grand Sport Performance Automotive <www.grandsport-michigan.com> Dave Laing tuned & tweeked my fresh motor so I could attend the Woodward Cruise. They gave me a 914 model in appreciation of my business. Here's a few clever photo's.

Glenn must use it for it's intended purposes - Driving (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) because he's got no meat left on those tires.

Question about the cruise; Do they have a lot of the old Detroit iron overheating? When I had my SS396 ElCamino, if I sat at a long Traffic light, the Temp would climb & climb.

TC,

Yes, heat was a killer for the big blower motor's & High Preformance engine's when your moving 1-mile in 1-hour waving to the crowds. Lots of big motor cars, antiques, motorcycles, and you name it. I got my yearly dose of hydrocarbon's yesterday in the 85 degree 90% humidity..
