I'm taking the 914 up to Chris this week for its much deserved rust repair !!
its getting the rear fenders stretched and fixed and then the longs, jackpoints etc . Yes, I am driving it!!! I will be coming up the I95 but might take some back roads, so I am looking for advice from locals to the DC and Baltimore areas to find out the best way to take a 914 thru, - it will most likely be in the middle of the night, but I am trying to get up to CFR by Noon or so Friday. Leaving SC right after work Thursday. Leaving the car with Chris and hope to come back and get it when done, then bring it home for repaint. Goal is to finish it before the end of the Challenge, and drive it up to NC for the Okteenerfest outing!!!! Phil |

95 to southside of Wash DC
Get on Fairfax Cty Pkwy (286) North/West Then Rte 50 west to 15 North 15 North thru Gettysburg (great place to lay over) To 11/15 in Camp Hill. Then 81 North from Hbg to Rte 78 East East on 78, thru allentown into NJ Rte 287 North to Tappanzee. This avoids DC, Baltimore, Delaware, Garden State Pkwy, North Jersey etc. |

Given that you car is not at 100%, you should really consider renting a trailer and hauling it up there. The cost to rent a trailer will be far less than if you break down along the way. Chris is clearly a 914 guru so I can understand why you would want to go there. But there are also many other really good shops a whole lot closer. |
