No. It’s confusing, but Mackinac is a town at the uppermost part of the lower peninsula. The Mackinac Bridge connects the lower and upper peninsulas of Michigan. Mackinac ISLAND lies in the straits of Mackinac (essentially Lake Huron), east of the Mackinac Bridge. |

You get there on a ferry boat only. Tom |

I thought maybe the question was if the 914 would blow off the bridge like a Yugo!

I thought maybe the question was if the 914 would blow off the bridge like a Yugo! LOL P Info. What Paul is saying. It really happened a few years ago during high winds when a YUGO plunged over the guard rails into Lake below. Tom Few years ago=late 1980’s. There is still some debate that going over the rail of the bridge was caused by the wind. IIRC there was quite a bit of speculation that she had been drinking beforehand and may have just lost control of her vehicle. The other one the guy left behind a suicide note (I think) before purposely driving off the bridge. |

I would have loved to go, but family issues and my 914-4 is down. I will be there next year with bells on!

Who is me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)
I didn't make it to the Mac Bridge gathering, my buddy Mike in his 911 sent me this 914 photo & said there were (5) 914's & maybe a few more. Tom 30-minutes from the bridge working on my new house & the 914 downstate waiting to get it to Mark in GR for a tuneup. Attached image(s) |
