I'll start...

In the new year, I plan to have the 914 running like a top. I've got some technical help coming in, and a whole new set of stacking Craftsman toolboxes to help get organized. (Working out of multiple bags, overstuffed small toolboxes and cardboard boxes sucks...) Also, I plan on putting new suspension bushings in the rear, replace rear wheel bearings and powdercoat the trailing arms and stuff.

A few years ago, I had planned to drive the Carrera Panamericana route (El Paso, Texas to Guatemala and back) in May, 2005. I don't think that'll happen this year. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) With the war and all, my plans were shot to hell. It may have to wait until I retire.

If I can get my priority resolution to work and be smoke free, my car should make some great progress. The money I would save not buying cigarettes will pay for a paint job by WCC. Well, close anyway. I am going to give it another shot this week at trying to drive the car for the first time, I know, heard that before, but it will happen eventually.

I'm not even going to pretend to give up smoking. I gave up cigarettes years ago.. but I do enjoy a hookah pipe from time to time. Stuff the bowl with "maasel" (tobacco coarsly chopped and steeped in molasses and flavor), and I can sit and enjoy an evening quietly with a book or an episode of Law & Order.

tool boxes are nice (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) I'm still trying to organize mine, even with 28,772 cubic inches of storage space, it's going to be a tight fit, LOL

Yup; I'm gonna dick around with it a lot LESS and drive it a lot MORE!

Hoping to make it to 15 or so track events in '05, but we'll see what happens as it'll be a pivotal year at work for me as well as the wife.

Nuthin' new.....just the same old "Autocross Supremacy" resolution.

I fear I am too old/started too late to ever be better than decent at the most important aspect which is driving. The car has to take an ever increasing share of the load, thus, I hack on it every winter.

So.....I'm aiming for consistent top 5 at SCCA events.

Scott, I love your working and not smoking thing. I had to sell my business and get away from that environment before I could finally quit. That's a little extreme. I hope your better at it than I was. Absolutely the hardest thing I ever did. I could start just like I never quit at any time. You will be surprised at the money you will save. Start putting the money away for the paint job ever day. We're behind you!

as for my 914 resolution,

I'm going to do my best to get to as many 914 club events as I can. This club is the reason I finished the car. I want to show it off a little. I may rebuild the motor and do the "H" gear before the WCC 05 but not at the risk of having the car down for the summer. I will rid myself of some of the other cars I have around here collecting dust to finance some of my 914 habit. Either way, I need to keep the car running for the summer.

My 2.5 twin-plug will be here soon from my builder, so I will be putting that in. Then it's off to the races. This bodywork and six conversion has taken the up most of 2004 and it's been frustrating not getting much track time. I'm looking forward to 2005.
I will also be starting my 74 Carrera RS project in 2005. It might take awhile, but as long as I have one running Porsche, life should be good.

Happy Holidays to all of you,
T.C.
