Looking forward to the clinic this weekend. But not the 7 hour drive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). It's still on, right?

You guys almost make me feel guilty for coasting in around 6 hours (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
At least I don’t have to work today too, on top of the drive, like Mike is! |

Funny story, I got today off so slept in a little, getting things loaded and ready right now. Plan is hit road at 12. Sleeping at shop tonight. For heat stuff, I have a huge torpedo heater that is propane powered so we should be fine. Bring warm clothes, tho. I think most of us from the north lands get that, tho.

I'm a little less than 3 hours away. Looks like a little snow is moving in. I think they said an inch throughout MD 2AM - 8AM. See you all tomorrow morning.

Awesome event that Mike's putting on, benches covered with gearboxes being refreshed, top quality instruction & much humor to boot. Here's one layout after disassembly.
Mine however not so good, ouch! the good Doctor will have to take it with him for a fresh r/p install. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Ouch! I almost came again just to walk through the build. It was amazing how much I learned and forgot!

Awesome day! Hard to believe we got all those boxes rebuilt in one day (a long one).. I learned a shit load and had a great time doing it!
Thanks Mike for putting this on and Scotty B for hosting. And thanks to all the fellow attendees who lent a hand, shared tools, supplies, knowledge and humor. Highly recommended! |

Totally agree^^ . I went as an observer in Shelton, WA. Learned a bunch, and met a lot of great people. We need to keep Mike traveling and teaching.

This was a great group! I had a blast and it was great to reconnect with my Porsche friends. Can’t believe I broke my finger on Fri and managed to get this event done in record time.

I had a great time with some good people. Thanks to the Doc and Scotty.
Now I have a sorted tranny, next will be to finish putting my motor back together, install both back in, and drive the hell out of it. |

Awesome time! Thanks Doc, for being so generous and patient...and Scotty...you were a great host. The coffee bar was much appreciated after (and before) a 7 hour drive. Impressive that the Evil one was able to handle all of us newbies while he was down a digit. Especially getting those snap rings on.
Here are some pics from the day. I wanted to make a youtube video, but it was nonstop cleaning and building! Happy to host one of these in the NY burbs anytime... |
