so far, we have at least 2 914s, maybe 3 if McMark can work out the kinks in time.

- SirAndy + some Girl i met the other day
- Jim Tabor + Wife (?)
- McMark + (?)


the plan is to leave early thursday (20th) and stay overnight in either reno or somewhere further up 80.
then drive through to moab on friday.

coming back monday (24th).


anybody else from the greater bay area or nevada or utah going?

Where's Fiid? Tom Trudell? Rob Sime? I'm sure there's more...

Jeff Keyzer is out.

I need to prepare myself for a nerve wracking trip... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I am going...

But, the 914 is a pile of parts so I will be driving my E36 M3. I am 20 miles south of SLC. I was planning on leaving on Friday sometime.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

Sorry, can't make it. Considering the $$ I've got in the car I decided to get a stated value policy and a 1,800 miles trip would put me over the annual limit for the year.

WOW, I didn't realize it was so far.
Is that the same route you guys took last year?

I don't know if you guys know this guy, PORSCHECB, but he expressed interest in making the trip too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)




Tom, don't the insuranvce companies make exceptions on the mileage if you are driving to an event? I think i still owe you a beer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

let's put this in perspective, shall we? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)


if you started out in Frankfurt am Main, Germany (red dot in center), 978 miles would get you anywhere inside the red circle ...

America is big. Where'd I put my SUV?

Wait a second... Leaving early on Thursday and stopping in Reno? Uhhh, what're we going to do for the other 12 hours in Reno? Reno's only 4ish hours away.

Let's go to West Wendover NV. It's 9 hours and that'll leave us around 6 hours on Friday.

That is certainly an interesting perspective. Crazy when you think of it like that.
But of course, there is no place like Moab anywhere on that map (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

See you guys soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Andy,
What's the crow's flight radius on your trip?
It looks like you're driving pretty far North to come south again.

Just curious (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I agree Andy, take a look at going on hwy 50 from Reno...much shorter, and more lonely...not much out there but we'd save a couple hundred miles each way it looks like...just looking at your map...I don't have a good one...guess I'll mapquest the two routes. Nope, just looked 929 miles and 17.5 hours...must be a MUCH slower hwy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I did the same thing last year Jim. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) 80 is more out of the way, but faster. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Hi Greg!
I wish! My policy only allows 2,500mi/year and this includes car-related events. Strictly speaking, I can't even drive it to work. Of course, no racing etc. either. I'm still doing autocross when I can though. I'll get that beer somehow.
Later,

If you have Hagerty, just call them, miles to and from such a event do not count against your total. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I am a possible... I need help for at least a day to get the engine and systems hooked up. The Bumblebee is not street legal so it is not a possibility... I just can't seem to even get time to work alone on the darn thing much less me and another guy... I'm about to drag the whole mess down to McMark.

That's exactly what the Donner party thought (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). Present in my mind only because I went to the museum last week.

According to the late James Montebello, 50 is one of the true great roads, and should absolutely be driven. I need to do that once. The thought of taking my 914 through lonely roads in Nevada is truly terrifying though... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have clearance from the wife to go - so I plan to be rolling with the Gang.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Fiid.

P.S. This will be my first 914 event as a US Citizen - I was sworn in on Tue!
