Had to go out of the country for a bit. Just now getting back to posting some more information.
As a second year sponsor RIX 914 Parts is providing some very fine items. First, a really well made firewall mat and sound reduction mat. This was an item he Richard provided last year and it was really nice!   Richard is also going to provide some of his truly awesome polycarbonate rain hats for 6 carbs! Pretty nice bit of kit!  Rich says he will have a few other goodies as well! |

Would also like to welcome a new vendor. Griot's Garage started out much like this event, just an odd idea that caught on after awhile.
 Kimberly of their Club Assistance Program is sending 2 wonderful car care kits. One will be taken home by a winner, the other will be at your disposal for use in cleaning up your car before the car show. You can try the following products and see how they work! All of the following products are ideal for quick clean options! Speed Shine - Simply mist it on, gently wipe dry, and buff. l Interior Cleaner - Quickly and safely clean all interior surfaces and materials from headliner to carpet with minimal fuss. Spray on Wax - Spray-On Wax base wax enhancer that extends the life of your natural waxes and paint sealants Wheel Cleaner - highly-concentrated formula clings, penetrates, and loosens brake dust, grit, and road grime. With the drive Bob has picked this could be very useful! |

There are few things in the automobile world that translate universally. But there are certain people who create works of are that are beyond words. I took many pictures of Tim Kinney's gauges that have become such a marque item for this event and frankly all of them completely failed to capture the work this guy does.
But if you come to Okteenerfest you will have the chance to take home a true work of art!   Amazing! |

Well I hope everyone is not getting too tired of me posting goodies?
Ron and Tucker from AASE Sales came up with a few goody bags that are out of this world!  Look at some of the parts below and you will understand that AASE has the parts to support all your 914 parts needs. Also whenever I have a interesting part for other cars, AASE has me covered. If I need a part for the Boxster, a quick call to Tucker usually resolves the issue very quickly. Just take a look at the items in these bags! That tool bag is exceptionally nice and gift certificates can certainly make your day! The other items can certainly put some finishing touches on your 914. Taking home any of these will make attending the event very worth while! Bag #1: -Set of four floor mats -$100.00 gift certificate -Left and right parking brake cables -Heater cable -914/6 clutch cable -2 NOS ATE brake pad kits -Exclusive/rare PORSCHE poster -Smooth vinyl tool bag -914 timing decal -914 owner’s manual Bag #2: -Set of four floor mats -$75.00 gift certificate -Heater cable -914/6 clutch cable -2 NOS ATE brake pad kits -914 timing decal Bag #3: -Set of four floor mats -$75.00 gift certificate -Heater cable -914/6 clutch cable -2 NOS ATE brake pad kits -914 timing decal |

I get to communicate with some interesting people when I reach out to vendors trying to get support for this event. One of the most interesting this year is a company in Germany FERTAN. They make some pretty impressive rust treatments.
So I was thinking all 914s have rust, German company making rust treatment equals a perfect match! Super long shot but I reached out to them. Not quite sure how all of this will work out but they have agreed to help us out! Seriously we are receiving support all the way from Germany! I have been speaking with Björn Lang, Managing Director / General Manager of FERTAN in Germany. Somehow with the help of Goggle Translate it seems like they will be a sponsor. Kind of says a lot about this event and the 914!  |

I believe my son will be coming with me this year so I need to register him as my "2nd".
Sent an PM to Bob and Nadine since it wasn't clear how to add him to my registration. |
