That's Steve Nieslony's car; he is semi-local to me. He's a credible TToD threat for any autoX that he shows up to... Except the Parade one, which was just sort of slightly a "power" course.

Nick, did you have the other Bumblebee that was at Parade? There were two that I saw; both were in the Saturday DE, in the same run group as My Attorney, and I saw each one a few other times as well.

If there was a second BB at Parade, my bet is that it was Ernie Kowal from Victoria BC. Ernie and Carl (the Concours BB) are pals and I know they were both at Portland. Both are Ax junkies too.

Dave, I did see another 914 with yellow rockers,and maybe yellow wheels,but this car was in real rough condition. It was saturday 8-5-06 in the parking lot at the Red Lion Hotel that I saw this car. I walked around it,but did not take any photos. I did notice a chome front bumper,but this car needed alot of work.

Last photo of the 914s at the Portland Parade. Sorry if I missed some of the cars that did make it out there.

Nick.

The owner of this 914-6,Gary Smith must be the King of the Road when it comes to seat time in a 914. I wonder how Gary maintains the Concours condition of his 914-6. Anyway, thank you Gary for having your 914-6 at the show.

Nick, though Mr. CAMP914 declared a name change was in order to protect the innocent, it really is "James Smith". I've slapped Craig aound a bit since, and he apparently has gone in hiding with a bruise or two. <grin>

Still haven't made my way across the country to my home port. The SIX decided to drop a fuel pump in Glendive, Montana. I'm awaiting overnight delivery of a replacement as I write. If it doesn't arrive, I'll likely host a weekend review of the Parade at the local corral.

As to maintaining the condition, I started with a nice car, drive it, and clean it. Fortunately none of the photos are closer than 5'.

Hi Nick,

Your pictures are outstanding. You are the master photographer in all 914 land.
Hope you had a great trip & maybe see you at the Woodward Dream Cruise tomorrow? I'll be there taking pictures.

Nice pictures. You can barely see my 951 in one of them. *lol* I have a few pictures of 914's that you may have missed in the parking lot. One was a flat black color that was going to autocross. I spoke to the owner (he also had a burgundy 944) and he seemed nice. I think he posts on here somewhere. I'll put up my pictures when I get home.

James, sorry for getting your name wrong. I took the name off an early posting,see what happens when you spend too much time on the road....people start to change your name for you. Well I wish you a safe trip back home,and thanks for sending in James.

Soloracer, That would be cool. What 951 Porsche was yours,because I took almost 700 photos at the concours.
