Congratulations to Tod (tod914)! He won 1st place in the Porsche Class at the 6th Annual All Air Cooled Gathering. I had the pleasure of judging his car - okay everyone, can you repeat after me? C-L-E-A-N! Okay, one more time C-L-E-A-N! There were four 914's, two 356's, two 911's among the 350 air cooled cars in attendance. Tod won a limited edition (for this event only) signed and numbered poster.
The attention to detail regarding originality is amazing, along with his preservation and preparation skills. These are the things I look for and admire as a judge. I'm glad a 914 won. Good job Tod. Oh, and by the way, thanks for the beer. Pat, sorry, since Tod is such a valuable contributor to the Originality forum, I though more people would appreciate this post here rather that in the Garage. If you have to move it please wait a couple of days. Thanks. Dave Tod's car is the red 914 with him standing in the rear with the trunk lid raised. |

Thanks guys. I'll post a link to photobucket soon as I go through them and upload the shots to the site. Dave thanks again had a great time. Didn't think I stood a chance against the 356's. Some nice teeners there as well. Fantastic event. Definetly had alittle jump on you with the beer. After numero five, I thought it was best to go, or the morning maintence crew would of been peeling me off the soccer field. You guys out did yourselve's with the effort you put into the awards. Looking foward to more of your club's events next year, now that the car is off of jackstands. I'll keep you posted of some of the upcomming events this Fall. The Sneider and Nelson event sounds like a fun one. Think that's on 10 Oct..

The Sneider and Nelson event sounds like a fun one. Think that's on 10 Oct.. While I knew Tod's car would be a contender, I too was pleasantly surprised when I added up the score sheet and he surpassed the 356's. I find with most multi marque events that many entrants simply don't know how to clean a car. For instance, the other red 914 in the foreground had the potential to be in contention but, there was dog fur all over the carpeting. I told the owner that with some time and effort he could really do well. So it's the time that is really the issue; he simply didn't want to commit to it. Tod's car really popped when you walked down the isle. All the lines were crisp and the Fuchs wheels were stunning, as were the tires. Others had bits and pieces nice but fell apart in various areas. You could tell Tod has been doing this for a long time. Not the first, nor the last award for this guy. Well done! Dave |
