Okay so after my fiasco on the way to Route 66. I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their support. I know so many felt my pain. I had so many people offering me parts & help. So I am going to list a few here. Please if I miss someone don't be offended. I am dead tired after a long day of driving. So besides a blanket thank you to the 914world community in general. Hats off to the following who went above & beyond

Rick & Mark for spending a few hours saturday working on the dents from my wreck. It was amazing to watch them both at work. It was so kind of them both to volunteer their time during the event which is supposed to be time off for fun.

Huge thanks to Elliot for coming to pick me & my car up friday. One of the cables on my transmission snapped. So I was stuck in neutral. Made it through most the drive thankfully. Then Elliot came to my rescue (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) . Brought his flat tow bar to haul me back to his house

Thanks to Jeff for hanging with me while we waited for Elliot. Then giving me a ride back to the hotel to get my van. After picking my car up in my van. I took my car to Jeff's (strawman) to see what was up with my tranny. I thought it was something totally different than what we found. Then we cleaned put he quarters to have them ready for Rick & Mark. It was great to see your car Jeff.

For some free parts my thanks to Dave for the set of trailing arms. Mark (mikey914) for the rear bumper with a new top on it. Brent in Salem for finishing off the prep work on the stiffening kit on that trailing arm. Original Customs for getting my trailing arm ready for install.

In general WCR this weekend was awesome. I have no regret's. Even with my transmission issue which kept me from doing the drive saturday. I thank everyone so much for all the kind words & encouragement. Been a kinda rough with my car since last august. I am truly blessed though. My car is coming back together once again. All thanks to this wonderful community. Wether it was parts, Working on my car or just some kind words. It has kept my love of 914's despite my run of bad luck.

Anyway thanks to everyone I (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) you all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Truly inspiring to witness from the sidelines. What a great group here on the World. Looking forward to seeing some video of the metal bumping. Best of luck to you JRust on getting your beautiful car back to pristine condition. I hope the gremlins got a headache from all that banging and drowned in the ocean.

I would have paid to sit quietly and watch those two do their magic. Dream team - and in a parking lot no less. So cool!!

At the least, we found out EMT doesn't make a good oil line coupling, eh? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Well, it's like the problem that cropped-up in Alfred Hitchcock's 1944 movie - Lifeboat … in one scene, the leading lady, actress Tallulah Bankhead wasn't wearing underwear and Hitchcock couldn't decide which department should handle the issue … costumes, props or make-up ...
