Hmm i may have a running car and some money by then!!

Now I have a deadline to get my engine finished by

I would have thought you would have given Bryce Baghdad a consideration.

I've been wanting to make one of these. Anyone near Vegas going & have room for a passenger? I'm in Vegas the followin week for a work. I could come out early & head up for it. Worst case I could get a decent rental for the weekend. I'll have to try to pencil it in. How far is it to there from Vegas

I want to...

5 hours .... 236 miles

593 miles for me...I will be there in Phoenix that weekend anyways.

The Alien is in storage. The overhead door had water seep under it and freeze there is a big bank of snow infront of the door. I will be lucky to get the door open before mid April. I put the car away with a broken transaxle, so even if I could get it out it's still broke.

Even better I am in Vegas that week. My convention is the 10-12th. I could get there late friday. I can probably get out of my show early afternoon to drive up. Just have to pony up to rent a Porsche. Hopefully I can get a decent rate on a boxter. Otherwise it will just be in some semi sporty new car . That is unless some kind soul from Vegas is going to go & wants company . Either way I am going to come. I've only made 2 WCR's & one 914 shootout. I need to broaden my horizons

Yes! And we need the PNW to represent. Never been done before at Route 66!

Okay I just booked my room at the Rancho . I'm going to hold of on renting a car till closer to the event. Still rather ride in a 914 but at least I will make it

I just had a great idea. I think Renegade Hybrids should seriously consider sending me in a 914 with their LS1 conversion. That way we can get a proper report from your typical 914 idiot

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, I cant wait and thanks for getting it going! We know its alot of work

No need, they just bring soggy underwear and socks.

Hey now we have plenty of nice sunny weather. May through September is pretty kick ass. Not to mention it is flat out green everywhere & beautiful .

Hey I booked my hotel room & was only able to get it for $71.09 plus tax What happened to the $60?

Foreigner Tax and Rainy Weather Endangerment Tax.

Plus Wills is one of those RE Types and they only tell you their version of the truth ... kinda like used car salesmen.

Got my rental too! A little PT cruiser convertable. Probably a POS but it was pretty dang cheap. So I figured why not . I'll bum a ride in a 914 once I am there

For total success on a Route66 run, remember to order your tomatoes on the side.

And you'll love your rental Neon.

PT Cruiser is quite possibly the worst car I have ever driven. I had the joy of driving one back from Denver after buying a 914...never again! (Sorry Dean)

Rent a HHR, I rented one of those for a while, not too shabby.

Yes, Tomatos on the side is always the best way to order your burger on a Rt66!

It's fine. How many wives will be coming? My wife is hinting she'd like to go. Not real sure she would enjoy it. She isn't the most sociable person. Still if there is going to be some other women there I may say yes

Val will be there, I am sure Toast and perhaps Kim will be there as well. Kathy shows up probably more often than she wants to.

Wish I could go. I always bring Sandy. We like to hang together.

Someone has to keep you in check!

Ya, like in monument national park? I'm trying to get her a 914. Has to be a certain one. She is picky.

If you like green, you'll LOVE Wickenburg!

I LOVE green. I'm convinced. Weather permitting, Mike and I will be there.

If you go, the Zambeziteen will be the only green you will see in Wickenburg!

Well this makes my day!

Unless our buddy Jim Tabor shows up, I'm sure you're right.

Mikeydubbyeaux, you should bring your daughter's pink car so Mike has a sweet ride. Just strap it to the back of your yellow bombardierteener .

I might trailer them. It is well over an hour drive for me.

If that happens, I am going to purchase a ton of these to coat the parking lot. I'm just sayin.....

***UNDERSTATEMENT ALERT***

Well I am sure they will try to get me to upgrade when I get there. Really I don't care about what I drive there. I'm hoping to catch a ride in a 914 once I'm there. Rental is just to get me there for the most part. If anyone from Vegas is going I'd be happy to skip the POS rental

I have a buddy here named Waide. Rumor has it he will show up from time to time. If he is a no-show, you are welcome to jump in with me for the Saturday drive. If he does actually make it, I have to save the seat for him. Not that there is anything wrong with that.....

Is Liz's car running?

Weather can be a big factor in early March.

New Wickenburg PD equipment - watch out!!!!

Yeah I know - Wickie ain't that green, but some on here apparently think it is!

Gint's sweet ride from Rt66 years past...

Dear God Sharon....THAT is funny! It is a toss up between that and the pic from Atomic with him drinking from the boot as the best Gint pic award winner!

Can't wait to see you guys!

Are you guys a game time call based on weather?

Yup. I want to go, but if I have to drive through a blizzard in the truck to get there I probably won't.

Bump for updated hotel rates. Looks like the rate that Jamie got is as good as we are going to do.

Tell them you are with the Porsche Club...or the Porche Club as they put it.

I added the attendees in the fist post. SO let me know if you are in so we can plan for food and make sure that we have enough rooms set aside.

Here is my 914 I won't be driving for the event

I'm also fairly close with my LE resto. There is an outside chance I will have it ready. Even if I do I doubt I'll feel good about making my engine break in be a long road trip. Plus when it's finished I am just going to sell it. With my luck if I took it on the trip I'd get wiped out by some idiot in a big truck

My 70 914-8 will most likely still be on Jackstands for Route 66. Now for WCR it will be ready . Wish I had it finished now though. It would make quite the drive so I suppose it's almost better this way .

I'm pretty sure the 914-8 would be too heavy to check for baggage on your flight to Vegas, anyways. Stick with the super uncomfy PT. (that's got to be the best selling point for an upgrade that they can stick you with )
