Met Brad for the first time at Dunkle's. He's a damn nice guy in person far from his personna as the *resident asshole* Came thru with some nice deals for me too.
Thanks, Brad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) |

Yeah, that's why the "asshole" or whatever some people like to call him is soo funny! He's a riot to be around.

Hey Milt, somehow we missed each other at the meet. I was wandering around most of the day, taking pics and catching up on BS with the various Porsche guys I only see once or twice a year.
I was very pleased with myself for not spending any money today (except pizza & beer) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) |

Had a great time there today bought to much stuff and loved the pink and green hair. Mikes bushings looked great. Drove the 914 from Temecula got there ok but when I pulled off I 15 no clutch so I fought it all the way home where I adjusted the cable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

I said hi to Brad also. Bought a 2 liter MPS for a friend in need.
I found some fog light grilles and fog light switch from one of the other vendors, now I need to figure out how I am going to paint/chrome the grilles and I will soon have fogs to light up my bumper... It was a good day. |

I was running my ass off trying to keep up with everybody in our sales area. The asshole part is really about business. Ask how many people tried to talk me down on my already low prices and how many ended up talking me down "NONE"
It was great to see some old friends and really a pleasure meeting the new ones. The 914 community cannot be beat. B |

Mike,
I have a great support team in Andy and Jason. They had the trailer loaded and ready to go in less than 15 minutes total. I realized later that not everybody knew about the ZITO's pizza gathering at the end of the event EVERY year. Our drive is pretty long from that part of LA, so the sooner we get on the road.. the better. We stopped by Roger Sheridans place to pick up some race glass I had repaired for this season on the way back. That always ads about 2.5 hours to the drive. I arrived at my front door around 1:30 am.

Yeah. I've never been over to Sheridan's. I thought about tagging along for that, but the only way I could have gotten home in one piece afterwards was if you let me load the CRX into the trailer and sleep in the back seat of the truck... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I felt pretty beat and I got home by 5pm. (Santa Clarita)
However, I also got home to a dog that had swallowed something, a ball I think. Ended up at an emergency Vet. with the little monster until midnight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) still tired, I need a nap... Mike D. |

What the F*ck is with the "Pink" hair Brad?
There are always people that will try to get the price down to nothing and even then they don't want it. Good parts and fair prices is all I ask, if you want it for nothing it aint for sale to you. Geoff |

Geoff,
Since I really dont have a real job anymore (no CEO meetings) I decided it would be easier for people to find me at the swap meet if I had RED hair. Well... The color we used ended up being too light for my hair. It was supposed to be blood red "ANDY". Then the pink grew on me. How many people are going to "F" with a 6'1 200lb pink haired guy ?? LOL I have the new dark red hair color that will go in soon. Its fun. Being "normal" gets boring. B |

What was even better was watching people's reactions outside of the swap meet. Restaurants and hotel lobbies people just walked by kind of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Great car. B |
