Weather looks PERFECT!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
Also, for those that don't know, this weekend is also the 356 Holiday in Fontana Village which we will be passing right by, so there will LOTS of 4 cyl Porsches running around the mountains!!  |

Dropped my car off to Robert Berry of Eurohaus for a professional once over before Okteenerfest. Oil change, set valves, new plugs, and timing check should be all it needs. Meant to do it last week but life got in the way.
Can't wait to see all of the cool 914s that are showing up! |

Ok another surprise! Who needs new carpet for their car?
Black Forest Racing by way of 914 Rubber have teamed up to provided a complete carpet set as a prize. Very nice. Very, very nice. Anybody need that? |

I was doing the math- 10 Limited Editions in one place. That's 1% of all production, ever. No clue as to what % of the remaining LE's left in the world that is.

And sadly, I can count about 4 more that WONT be there that are somewhat local.
Not counting the ones I know John Forbes has that are in "restoration mode" at his shop. |

Of the 214 LEs on Bowlsby's list, about 54 are either destroyed or can't be verified leaving a total of 160.
So, with 10 of them at Okteenerfest, that is 6.25% of the Can Am cars on the Registry. The LE cars will comprise 20% of the 914s at Okteenerfest (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

If you had loads of cash you could capture a sizable portion of the Cam Am cars in one weekend. |

QUOTE(Johny Blackstain @ Sep 23 2014, 08:15 AM) QUOTE(Philip W. @ Sep 23 2014, 09:10 AM) amazing how different it is planning a trip like this with the 914 than if i were just jumping in the DD and taking a 5 hour trip just fill it up with gas and go!!, but not with a 914 - I feel like i am planning an across country trip (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) i'll be lucky if i can fit a small suit case in the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Lol, I know the feeling, WELL. I managed to get a lawn chair in the back trunk yesterday. Had to wrap it in towels so it doesn't scratch anything (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . Parts in the front trunk, parts & chair in the back trunk & putting my stuff in a duffle bag on the passenger seat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Wish I was driving my six instead, the LE is used to being a paper weight. We are in the process of packing the cars so we can leave tomorrow morning. I got the rear trunk on my car full of tools and spare parts. I even got two jackstands and an aluminum hydraulic jack in the car. (everything is wrapped in towels). Betty's car has the engine tin for the swap meet (also wrapped in towels), plus folding chairs, a folding table, a contribution to the door prizes, and a goodly supply of Texas potables. Both cars will get duffel bags with our clothes and grooming supplies added to the front trunk in the morning. So we really ARE packing for a cross country trip. See you on Thursday.

the decision has been made-i am going to drive the car, not trailer it- since neither my son due to work&school, or my wife are coming, i am going solo! The roads up will be much more fun that way! So the AAA card and Hagarty roadside assistance will be close at hand i hope not to use them. - will leave tomorrow morning and take the whole day to enjoy the drive up thru rural South Carolina, NC and TN.
See you all on the road- time to get that live event uploader going!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

well this sucks...
I have to go pick up Huey at our mechanic. It's raining. Huey has not been cleaned since before the Hillclimb two weeks ago, and just last weekend at the autocross the oil tank breather catch can spit oil ALL OVER the engine. So the engine is a total mess.... So...Huey will be on a trailer later today, filthy dirty, filled with dirt, gravel, etc from the past few weekends exploits...and not get cleaned at all... Did I mention it's raining? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

I spent hours this morning thoroughly cleaning and maticulously detailing Valentine. Washed, polished, waxed, cleaned the wheels, dressed the tires, bumper tops and targa top, polished and shined all the vinyl interior, cleaned and Rain-Xed all the glass, vacuumed all the carpeting and cocomats (and she was already clean). She's immaculate and beautiful now, ready to drive and show! Now to pack for the trip tomorrow...
to Detroit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) |

My camera took a dump on me 2 days ago & now only takes "artful" pictures. Artful as in you just took a huge dose of LSD artful. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Hope this is not a sign of things to come. Knikki is back on all 4 & the test drive was good & she feels strong (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Gassed up, tuned up, rain-xed up, packed up & just about ready to go.
