The 2 of them went to CA, just North of Smella, to get a 6 roller. I got a call about 2pm yesterday with a Q or 2 about hooking the car to my trailer. If they drove all night, they ought to be home about now (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) If any of youz guys see a red 914 on a trailer parked along side I-5, pull over & wake em' up.

Myabe. He drives better than I already, but he wants a car that is streetable.....at least for now. He's lookin' for a motor...3.0L or above. He also wants FI. The car is a narrow body, so I think I can keep him behind for a while.

Crystal clear here JP. Wind is blowing out of the north. I hope you guys aren't in for one of those Portland Ice storms.

Just got off the phone to Jim, he and Gary are near Eugene. He said they spotted evidence of the icy roads because there were semi trucks on there sides scattered here and there.
They should be rolling in about 6 pm the way traffic looks on the freeways.
He said the car that Gary bought is a very nice one and he plans to get a motor in it and running before throwing on flares.

Hey Craig. been meanin to get over to Camp & show off the "M". So far I've installed Jackson Racing Header,
Racing Beat Air Intake & MagnaFlow catback 2.25" Exhaust & muffler. Thursday I took it to an alignment shop & had an aggressive street/AX alignment put on it.
Talk about a difference in handling.

What'd ya find in the Bay area?

Bruce It sounds like you have been busy.The nice thing is that, after making all of those changes the car still runs and drives an dyou can feel a real difference to the positive.
I bought a 94 MX5 with the pass fender and front bumper missing. $900. I will sen da pic when It gets here. Supposed to be Monday, I don't think I will be heading out any time soon to get to it.

Gary and Jim's excellent adventure ends......most excellently. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
Car is home safe in the driveway, can't say that about Jim, he is on his way home slowly, very slowly.
Portland to Newbury Park and back, left Friday at ~4:30, returned Sunday 4:45. Jim is great company.
VERY NICE CAR. Ready for a 6. Somehow took only 2 pictures at the PO's house (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
