The car show was a blur. After taking pics of the cars coming in (see the live uploade thread), I then took one shot of each car showing the plaquard so I knew which car belonged to whom. By then it was time to set up for the group shot. I REALLY wanted to see the Renegade conversion with Boxster 6-speed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Just got home. THANK YOU everyone that attended!! What a great group of wonderful people!!! I agree with Steve and Mike, the entire weekend was a blur!! But we had a great time seeing old friends and making new ones!
Thanks to Steve for having the vision to come up with this idea and creating something long overdue here in the Southeast!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Planning for 2015 has begun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Couldn't stay for the awards banquet. Is there a list of who received awards?

Will sign up earlier next year to make sure we get that big tent again. Probably will need a larger one for sure next year. |

Traffic from Townsend to I-40 was absolute hell- half hour drive took over an hour & a half, however I made it fine & Knikki is back where she belongs (her garage) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Aside from having my posterior handed to me in the car show, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) , I had a fantastic time & met some very cool people & their teeners. Thanks to everyone & I look forward to attending again next year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Thanks for bringing Knikki to the event. It was interesting to find out she and my 914 were built the same day with only ten cars between them. And with the same interior color, nearly twins.
Enjoyed meeting you, Al. Looking forward to next year and seeing your six! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I know what that conversation was about right before I left & I hope you can get something going w/ a great paint job. Remember to save some money & do the rims yourself. Thanks again to you, Bob, Nadine, Mike & anyone else I might have missed. It was a wicked cool time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Now to figure out how the hell to transfer what few pics I took w/ my phone to my PC (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

Donna and I just got back. Two thousand miles and four roll starts later. Donna got a certain sense of insecurity re the getting home aspect of the trip but things went pretty well all and all. The event was perfectly planned and I couldn't ask for nicer people. Hey - we didn't win anything yesterday while running for home did we? Perfect event either way. |

Two voltage regulators from hell. One that seemed to like charging towards say eleven. The spare was more gung no boiling batteries at say sixteen volts. Ok, now we haul out the whole parts collection and get it right. Would a bar b que chicken jog the memory cells? Schaan or Heideman. Perhaps something I actually want? You guys put up a heck of a show. Wish I coulda seen the banquet! |

999.5 miles from the parking lot of the Tally Ho Inn to my parking space inside our garage. With the driving on the dragon, we probably put 2500 miles on both Frody and Igor. Somewhere on the Saturday afternoon drive on the dragon, Frody (Betty's car) turned over 6666.6 miles. She was a bit busy to take a picture.
Thanks to all of the people responsible for this. It was a really well done event. We are looking forward to next year! |

I knew the odometer was going to flip over to "66,666.6" (it's actually 366,666.6 but the odometer doesn't have a digit for 'hundreds of thousands') at some point on this trip and the plan was to take a picture of it when it did.
It happened when Clay and I had taken off to run the Tail of the Dragon again on our own Saturday afternoon. Two sets of three sixes - on my second run of the Dragon during the weekend. It just seems very appropriate! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Umm... yeah... you could definitely say I was a little too busy at the time to take that picture!

Bob Saville, Nadine Saville, Steve Schleif, Mike Blizzard, and everybody else who helped - YOU guys are the stars of this whole event. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
Clay and I know what it takes to pull one of these off and this one was done with class; with grace; in a spectacular fashion; and everybody seemed to have a great time. I didn't hear one complaint from a single person - and that is equivalent to pulling a hat out of a rabbit! Well... I have to modify that last statement a bit. The only complaints I heard were from people that didn't win one of the FANTASTIC prizes. Holy cow.... the sponsors were incredible - their products were drooled over and coveted by everybody. I already have a shopping list started and Christmas is coming up! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) This 914 event ROCKED!
