Great day at Jamie"s and Parts Obsolete. Cruising north on I-5 following Craig Laughlin and Kevin Powers. Lots of traffic. I get boxed in and they get ahead of me but still in sight. Hear a noise, hear it again, generator light ignites.......fan belt. Forgot cell phone at home....gotta catch the guys....boxed in ....oil temp and cyl. temp beginning to climb........better stop....in luck, I can see the Wilsonville rest stop. Pay phone, call Craig's cell...."HELP....come back and get me". "On my way" he says. Ten minutes later he pulls in to the rest stop and hands me his cell phone. I say "what for?" He says "call your wife, I just broke my fan belt!". I say you're shi..en me, he says "no". I call. Wife arrives at rest stop 30 minutes later, laughing loudly, brings camera.......

I made it home at about midnight. My "shortcut" through Port Angeles might be the culprit. From Port Angeles to Seattle we had an unusual caravan: my wife in her Volvo turbo wagen, me in the 914, and my cousin on his Harley fatboy.
Had a great time meeting everyone, and seeing all the nice 914s. This the first time I've driven a 914 for an extended period of time. I had a blast! A big thanks to Jamie for putting this together. I hope I can stay for the whole thing next year. And thanks to Zach for letting me put so many miles on his nasty little 914! John www.ghiaspecialties.com |
