I learned that:

I am way more into my car than i though i was

My girlfriend is way less into my car than i thought she was
(still love her)

I've only been driving my 914 at a fraction of its potential

I need sticky tires

Jeff Bowlsby is one of the most kind and generous men around

Brad's not nearly the asshole he claims to be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I learned:

There are two San Bruno Avenues (one north of candlestick, one south)

If you only go to the free events you don't get to meet anyone

I have about a year to finish my 914

I only met about half the people.

I learned:

Our club ROCKS. Our people ROCK and our 914's ROCK.

I stood by myself several times throughout the weekend taking it all it. I dreamed of events like this but never thought I would see it take place. Hopefully some of the other "914clubs" take notice. We are a LOUD voice now in the community. I have a funny feeling it will only get bigger. I know the vendors have taken notice.

Well, it wasn't really a discovery. I knew Jon Watts has a very clever sense of humor but I couldn't help but laugh at the music on his cd and the radio-tuning bits. I don't have a cd player in the 914 so it didn't get played until last night but I laughed thinking about how Jon assembled the cd.

Thanks, Jon. You did a good job and I look forward to the next edition.

Any chance some of us that couldn't attend could get one of these cd's? Good fun driving music is always good to have.

Got a cool looking half circle worth of sunburn the back of my bald head.

I wore my 914 hat most of the weekend to keep from getting burnt to a crisp.

Yep, this club rocks! Soo many good people and I only got to speak with about half of you.
Monique wants to try to AX soon, she was so excited by all the racing action.
She was bored to death when the #4 car was being talked about. "Gee, its kinda rusty, is Brad gonna fix that?" "I hope he picks a better color"

We are still talking about when Howard jumped in the car pushing Jeroen out and we took off driving. Howard never stopped talking and was soo funny!

All the cars at the AX was the best part of the WCC for me!

Yep. It takes a very special 914 FREAK to appreciate the prototype car.

It was good to see you and Monique. I always feel that I dont spend enough time with you guy's when you are in town. It always feels rushed. It was cool having dinner with you guy's at Chili's in SanJo. I also wanted to thank you for installing my alternator.. I was NOT looking forward to it after the hell night.

What did I learn? Always wear a cap and use sun block at all outdoor 914 Club events. My face looks like I need skin grafts. I learned that there are many others that love these cars as much as I do and I like hanging out with them. I learned that riding with Demick will give you whip lash but will also make your "ass smile" as you try to keep it in his stock 914 seats. I have a long shopping list for products from other club members (James, Mueller, Jeff, Craig, etc.). I learned how incredible this club is and how it deserves more of my support!

It was like I could feel something special running through my fingers as I touched a fender. I could not stop saying "wow, look at that" or "what the hell is that?"

It really felt like a pridvlage to see #4 up close. Thank you Brad. Something I won't soon forget.

Hey B, it was nothing to install the alternator. Something to do while you was fixin 914's for the AX. Wish we could have helped Chris Reale (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Hey, the dinner at chili's was fun. Nice and low key....Monique and I also visited a couple of other non car friends while we were down. It is hard to do just car stuff for 4 days! Monique liked the HPH shop ( her dad ran the only Nissan Dealer in Suriname). She also thinks you drive like you are from Suriname!
Another time we will get some time to kick back and BS....

The whole event was Excellent!

SEEING TWO LE's was way cool! I haven't seen them in person since they were new pretty much.

Mrs. K--I love that avatar! If you've got a high-res version, and can zoom in on the lenses even more (and maybe lighten them up a bit with Photoshop so we can see the reflections better), I think you should enter them in the Best Photo contest. Uhh, if you haven't already. (Gonna read that thread in a bit, I promise!)

I still have a warm fuzzy feeling.

Reflections

Give me a bunch of people who are willing to get their hands dirty any day. I had a burned out headlight so Ferg just gave me his spare and wouldn't take anything for. Then he and some other guys hung around while I changed it. When it didn't work they checked the circuit with DVM. I didn't have the leads plugged in.

My right foot lifts subconciously. I want to keep it down but it's not my fault it lifts.

I saw some really nice cars.

Driving through a stand of Eucalyptus with the top off smells really good.

My wife may make car wife yet

14 year old boys really dig cars

10 year old girls really dig shopping

What a GREAT TIME

Dave
