Got in yesterday and had a no-event (or no Bad-event) drive from AZ to the coast via the 10 from Phoenix. The 914 performed very well in rain, snow, sleet, hail and sunshine - save a power loss at high altitude.
Thanks to all who made the drive and event possible. Sidebar: Not too sure if some of these are repeat posts on photos but oh well.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Attached image(s)

After initial mashing of the brake pedal as we approached the oncoming vehicle, my iPhone took flight in an attempt to leave the scene and the lens had recently applied crap on it!! Mine and his!! I would note however, that the average 914 steers a lot more accurately when one releases the 25 foot long four-wheel locked up skidding tires to apply a violent left half-turn of the wheel to narrowly miss the tailgate of the truck crossing its path.... this, followed by an equal and opposite cut right to return to the correct driving lane ... Some things are better left undocumented photographically..... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Not pink at all. A very pleasant red. Better perhaps than many Porsche vow reds, like the Bahia one I am working on where a paint spill looks like I took the easy way out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Made it to grand island Nebraska. Wasn't informed about the Nebraska archipelagos before. Fixed the oil leak. I was loosing a quart in maybe a hundred miles. Engine compartment and passenger rear are besmirched. Stopped at a lumber store in Nebraska. Sorry about my Colorado tirade: it had been a long day. I will say that the stock fi and however high that pass is we're well matched. Bought a pipe nipple and coupler to attach the double sender and best of all Teflon table so the joints would seal. Instead of watching the oil pressure fade to 20 it just stayed put, and the motor ran cool at 75 mph. Fast as I want to go at this point. And roads are straight enough so I can just tie down the wheel and put a brick on the gas. Getting the weight of the brick right is the big challenge. If I make it home tomorrow it will be sweet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . |

QUOTE(Heeltoe914 @ May 2 2016, 09:58 AM) So glad I made the drive for the RT66 event. I had a great time and no matter the weather conditions it was an adventures, & the 914 handled it very well. John thanks again for all you have done year after year for this event. I won the Dash from 914rubber.com to say I was shocked and humbled is a understatement What a great way to end the night. Thanks 914 Rubber..Will send pix after install.. Don, Mike D & I toke Hwy-A89 south home at 620am WOW that is a great road. My two friends and I met over the 914 starting about 25 years ago. And we are still traveling together to events like Rt66. I am so lucky to have Don Cameron & Mike D as friends for life, who share the same passion as I for this little car. Thanks guys for a great trip. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Congratulations on the dash, Hopefully you will have on the car for West Coast Rally in a few weeks and we can see it in person. Should be and easy trip for you now that your all warmed up from Route 66 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

It's how we have to roll from these parts to get to a place in the country where the straight lines on the two lane black top get wavy. |

QUOTE(worn @ May 2 2016, 09:58 PM) QUOTE(SKL1 @ May 2 2016, 05:41 PM) Looks like fun- great to see that many 914's in one place! Gonna have to pencil that in... BTW, what was that white stuff??? Think my 914's are allergic to that!! I drove through too much of that crap when I first got my '71 in winter of 70/71 as it was my only car at the time!! No more snow for either one of them now. Beats me about the white stuff. Saw itin New Mexico Arizona, and Utah.exceptwhen we got to locations and it went away. No worries,no salt. Donna got here fine and the two of us will crawl across the heartland next two days. Those who don't know these guys are missing out. It was great to meet you Worn - what a major cruise you took on driving out here! Happy I could share some of the history surrounding the canyon and all with you and good to see your progress heading home. Choose your brick size carefully- I hear it can affect your insurance rates.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
