2,708 miles later and I'm back home from Vermont.
I had never been to Vermont so I decided this would be a good time to make the trip. It was a great time and had a chance to see a lot of nice cars. Only one day of rain and the rest of the days were beautiful. Only a few 914's were in attendance so that was a little disappointing. I'll upload pictures this evening and post some later.    |

I hope you liked my adopted home state. You got a good stretch of weather. You can probably see why we like summers here. It makes up for the 6 months of winter.

Sounds like a great trip, Bill. I had brief thoughts of trying to make it but just wasn't to be. I did see that it looks like only 3-5 914's in the concours. Any members here?

I haven't been to many Parades but did make it to this one. Honestly I had hoped for some more old racecars on display, but it was a decent selection to drool over.
puffinator - the viper green RSR is a nice looking car! flyer86d (Charlie) - I half expected to see you there. I guess you weren't? Scott |

Bill good to see you had a great time. I bet riding in the Boxster with modern A/C was fantastic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I agree about the 911R its a fine piece (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif)

Scott,
I only went Monday morning for the concours. You know that is my favorite event LOL. I figured that was where I could see most of my old friends that I haven't seen in 20 years. I did not sign up for the parade. Closest one in 30 years so go figure. I talked to the Thovsens, Stu French, John Paterak, Sue Smith, John Boles, Pete Tremper (whose brother Ted lives 2 miles down the road from me), and of course, all of the GMT friends. Sorry I missed you. How are you parents doing? I heard that they sold the old warhorse 911S but do they still have the GT3? Did you bring you track car? Charlie |

Hey Bill
I wish I had known you were there ....and the others too. I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to meet more 914 World regulars. Many days before I started a thread and suggested a role call. Crickets... No problem. It was a great time. Great pictures. Many cars to lust for. Light on 914s though. I was driving a Blue 2004 VW R32..NJ plates. Rory |
