Hey Dan, does Derek Smith still run his 9146 there at Whistler, he's a good customer of mine-and a top driver ! He's from Burnaby BC. If so...say hi from Marty @ msdsinc.

Mine have been the only 914-6's over the last couple of years. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) If I see him, I will be sure to say hello for you.

Good time for an update. Reminder for those going on the drive up on the 26th. If anyone wants, we can join up at my place and then head up to the rest stop. The group shows up there around 9:30AM and leaves the Smokey Point rest stop at 10AM sharp! It is just past the 207 mile marker on I-5.

Hope to see a few more teeners there this year. I will be driving mine! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

K,

Swing by if you like. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) As you no doubt have heard, I am keeping my little grey car. Craig and I are going to do these differently. He is bringing up a yellow 914 sometime in the next week or so. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

7AM works. We'll be up.

Yeah, she has seen me build a few of them and sell them off. Regretting each one until the next one was done. This time, she said I should just keep it. Craig will be sending me one to convert for him. I think that will be a better system. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Hi Everyone,


As we approach the 2005 Porsche International Whistler Weekend I wanted to let you know that the Sea to Sky Highway is in the best shape it has ever been for the last 10 years. Just about all of the construction north of Squamish that affects your driving has been completed. You will be on new asphalt and in some cases, 4 lanes of it. The only active road work at this point starts at Sunset Marina and goes 7 km. north to Lions Bay, after that you are free to enjoy what was one of Road and Track Magazines “Top Ten Highways” in the world. A word of caution; because there is no litmus test for drivers using this highway, there has been increased enforcement of the rules of the road which does include speed, so be careful.
Our Whistler Crew recently completed a site inspection and you are in for a real treat with your rooms at the Fairmont Chateau. They are not small and in fact are larger than I expected and we have posted pictures of the hotel on the Whistler website at www.whistlerweekend.org . On the home page click where it says “click here for photo’s of the hotel” and have a look.
When you arrive at the Chateau on Friday, you will be directed to park your Porsche in the parking garage, directed by signage and people if you are one who does ask for directions, and then go and check in at the front desk. This is especially paramount for those 50 Porsches driving up with Dennis Rood. You will be in a Porsche only (plus a few W.W. support vehicles) parking area and we ask that you settle in one spot for the weekend. We hope to be able to post your car # on the wall or floor so that you will have that one spot for the weekend. For those of you hauling your cars in trailers, we have secured outdoor parking for you beside the Hotel and within our security zone. You will need directions to that parking.
For those of you that are yet to register, the Fairmont Chateau is keeping the room pricing available to you for as long as they have rooms left. We currently have over 120 rooms occupied and with the long range weather forecast looking great, I am told the golfers start taking everything left for the month so please act quick if you want to stay at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler. Go to www.whistlerweekend.org and download the registration form, fill it out and fax it off to Marg Woolley as written on the form.
In closing, I want to thank our southern cousins at PNWR and ORPCA for hosting myself and some of the crew at the Porscheplatz Corral and hospitality tent. It was a marvelous event and you were all so friendly and accommodating. Let us return the hospitality.


Have a great summer and we’ll see you at Whistler.

the whole adobe format stinks for me, so i have no idea what the play is. tried to download the reader and got this "debugging" thing which i don't understand at all, and i'm not about to screw things up. we're not staying at the chateau, no idea what the walk in cost is. i'm at a loss as to why they can't just post the faq's. can you send the info as an attachment to me dan?

i'm sure the provincial authorities will be working the s to s hwy to the max. we better watch the speed as we try out the new pavement. they're putting quite a bit of faith in the "long range weather forecast".

[rhodyguy]

long range forecast is lookin' gud. above average temps and below average precipitation. paid the cleaning fee and picked up the keys for the condo today. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif)
