Hey All,
I haven't been around as much these past few years as other life priorities drew my attention away from the 914. But it was always patiently awaiting my return - Until yesterday, when my house in Santa Rosa was destroyed by the Stubbs fire. The 914, along with my '88 Scirocco are no more. In the big scheme of life, it's just stuff. My family is safe - and that is what matters most. But like all of you, I poured my heart and countless hours into this car - I knew it inside and out. And my tools... it took me years to acquire and restore many of them. All that effort equates not just to "stuff", but rather, it's a reflection of who we are and what we know how to do. I held it together until I saw the garage remains. It'll be a long time before life settles back to normal; but one day, I can only hope I find another project that will give me as much satisfaction as did my 914. - Bryan Attached thumbnail(s) |

I'm just back from a trip to our house. House still there. Porsches both in garage and ok. All of my brush removal/fuel reduction efforts seem to be paying off. Fire has burned around most of the house on the ground but has not gotten into the tree canopies. I'll add some pics if I can figure out how to do that with my iPhone. EDIT: I'm too dumb to post pics from my iPhone. Strong north winds forecast for tonight are worrying. We're still hoping for the best.
