I left Oklahoma @ oohhdarkthirty in order to get there by opening @ 8AM. I parked next to a pickup that turned out to be Clay with beaucoup parts for sale.
I sold some surplus parts but it was worth it just to see some nice cars. I didn't get names so if anyone wants to claim credit please chime in. |

I made it out, but left the car at home, until I get the engine sorted. Did make a couple of connections. Went home and took the car for a lap of the neighborhood and almost tried to risk it to run back. Good news is that My car is not as bad as I feared it might be, bad news is that the passenger side handles does look broken at the handle, so I will be in the market for a new one. Thanks to the 914 guys who were out there. It was great to meet you all!
I know ClayPerrine was one, who else? |

And here's our rich uncle. This is a '60's S. Wow.
Thanks to Clay for announcing it here on the forum and to Zim's for the donuts and parking lot and discount on parts purchases. http://www.allzim.com/index.html |

The orange 914 is my wife's 1.8L daily driver.
The Blue one belongs to Mark Hannah. The red VW is a 2002 Mexican Bug, titled as a 72 for import. It belongs to the parts manager for Zims, Dennis Butts. The silver 1968 911 belongs to Mike Kuhn. He works for Mayo Performance. The red 914 is a 73 2.0 that came from California. It is is absolutely beautiful shape. The owner had me look it over and there is no rust that I could find. It even has the original rear trunk pan with the vin number intact. I have to apologize, but I don't remember the owner's name. Glad you could come down and join us. |

I made it down there also, sold an 2.0 intake to Clay, Clay also pulled the Fan adapter off an old crank for me.

Apparently I missed not only all of the doughnuts, but all of the 914's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) except for the orange one that Clay's wife drives on a daily basis. It is as pretty in person as the picture shows. Had a chance to meet and talk to Clay for a few minutes until we had to leave to return to the kid's sporting events. I wish I could have stayed longer to talk - nice to meet someone with obviously that much passion and knowledge about these cars.
