Had planned and really wanted to come out to see Cary's shop today or at least the drive in tonight but could not get the car started this morning -- no fuel pump -- and have a very soft brake pedal after a master cylinder replacement.

Worked all day on these, and after lots of tracing continuity on the relay board, found a short in the main 25amp fuse tab rivets, and got that repaired and now the car starts!

But, before I can come out I need to get the air out of the brake system. I bench bled the MC before installing it, but...not good now. Might be getting air in at the line connections on top, or...?

If all fails, I will come out tomorrow in my Vanagon, if that's okay with folks...this is my first WCR...

Hope you make it! With brake bleeding it seems as if at first you don’t succeed you will later on.

Don't let those showers stop you, Jim. Remember RT66 2016 . Sure it rained but every time we reached a destination or stopping point the rain would quit until we were back in the cars.

Thanks, I would appreciate that very much.

On the plus side about the weather, at least the beer will stay cold.

Big thank you to everyone involved in the WCR and especially the organisers, Mark, Caroline and everyone for making us so welcome. I even learned quite a few things about our machines, not to mention making new friends!

I know the 914 is a tremendous car but it definitely has owners to match! Can't wait to see everyone again next time!

Sorry we buzzed off early, but the Coast was calling. Fantastic hailstones they have out here!!

Best to everyone from Dave (Archie the Brit) and Li Lodge.. Attached Image

Thanks to all that attended, and supported the event. We has some discussions about next year and are looking for someone to step up and do the planning and organization for WCR 2019!

Also, we are looking toward 2020, the 50th anniversary for our car!. There has been some talk that this could be an extended drive that allows folks to overnight in different locations as the group moved, this may allow for others to join in and pop out at different intervals. The weekend festivities being somewhere in the middle so it's somewhat centrally located. More to come on that.


Again a big thanks to Caroline Whitesell for really helping to get this all together in a neat package!

Great job by the team!

Yeah, it is just like I have always loved. Less than half a mile from the parking lot the cone set screw backed out of the u joint connecting the rod through the firewall to the rod to the side shift console. Not wanting to trust the factory jack, I rolled to straddle a swale I the pavement. This allowed me space to reach under the car. Of course it also was there to channel rainwater, and yes it was raining.

My heroic wife, Donna jiggled the shifter until the set screw holes lined up. Also she sacrificed her hand mirror from her purse. Holes lined up, set screw back in and whadayaknow? I have an unused wcr shirt to change into.

Dried off and resting near Spokane. Thanks everyone!! Especially the organizers, Cary, Caroline and Jack for a trip I will always treasure.

I was unsure about showing up without the right car, but I had a great time. Thanks go to Tim and Mark for rides on Friday and an extra large thank you goes to Warren for a great ride in his six.

Next time I'll have the right car and the missus.

Thanks,
-Jeff

Made it home without any incidents. We had rain down to about Medford and of course the moment we cross into Kalifornia, the clouds were gone and the temperature went up into the 90s.
