450 mile roundtrip from Anaheim Hills to Santa Maria in 6.6 hours.

80 MPH almost the entire way. 15 gallons. Need to compute the mileage. My math is bad at almost midnight, but it was SENSATIONAL! With the 205/50's the tach was at 3950 and temp stayed right on the letter T. I blew through about 50 M3's on the 5 North at 745 that were going to an LA show. They waved as I wound through them.

Need one of those videocams on the group buy sometime.

SO..........Anyhow..................

Jonathan and I came to agreement on something really cool, but I will let him tell all.

No, better yet, let's make it a guessing game. I will send a 914World Sticker to the Winner. Orange colored............what would you expect from me?

It was the best thing to happen to me since Orangina.

Anyone besides Tom_T, Steve Gaglione and Joe Sharp want to venture a guess?

You three and Jonathan and Mark B are not eligible!

And I am very sorry to say that Mark B could not be there today. He went golfing, but maybe I will meet him this coming week? Jonathan got pics of Orangina for him.

I get to go back to Santa Maria in a matter of days.

First one to guess gets the Sticker, but it is really late on a Saturday night, so PDT folks have an advantage.

If I see 2 get it right from two time zones, a sticker will go to each winner.

I have to order some blue ones from Mr. D!

John

450/15=30

you bought the DARK KNIGHT ?

you gonna work for him?

Clutch and related parts: I bought mine from Jonathan too the weekend he held the sale and Bar-B-Que. Hope GPR makes the Bar-B Que an annual event, it's a great drive along rural highways and the meat was the just the best !!

Below is the master chef and head honcho of GPR

I already know, I'd be cheating.

I know! I know!

Sorry I couldn't be there, but the golfing took precedence. Besides, you weren't supposed to come up until Sunday. Hopefully I'll meet you this week.

You got the job at GPR?

We have 1 winner of an Orange 914 World sticker, but that is a West Coast person.

Any more guesses? Any time zone will do.

I ain't sayin' who won yet. 1 More sticker!

You can use it as a Tatoo outline for your belly, butt or smack between your shoulder blades!

Just not one for the forehead. I see enough of those tatts on faces in and around Carson.

Here is Orangina filling up at LAX next to some kind of wildly redone 98 911, and man, IT RAN SHITTY. Hardly started, barely crawled away from the pump. He spent a fortune on it and thinks he is a tuner. NOT!



Pretty and pitiful, one could say. And no, the 911 is not part of the guessing game.

1 more guess!

Did you buy Thomas' old 914?

Did you take the job as Jonathan's internet guy?

Can I have two guesses

Thomas' car -

Contest is over.

After Jonathan announces the thingy, I will announce the two winners.

THANKS!

John

OK wait a minute!! Mark b golfs?

Yeah, well, for me it's all about the beer, hitting the ball with a crooked stick, and drivin' the golf carts.

Tell him to answer his emails...

Well, Eric, you do know why they called it golf, right?

Cause the work F*CK was already taken.

Once I saw my bud at the range have his club fly straight up 50 feet!

The Pro said he was sure that my bud could loosen his grip and not kill someone, but for the time being he needed to use the last driving stall on the left of the range!

Mark B will answer, I am sure!

I sold my golf clubs 40 years ago. Minus the fuching nine iron 'cause I had wrapped it around a tree. What a masochistic endeavor. I would much rather adjust my valves. Or stick needles in my eyeballs.

Or slam my schwanz in a doorjamb! Which will never happen. They call it the angry inch!

Just kidding. I use it to shift when my hands are busy texting!

I wish!

GOLF - Let's see, how I did like it once, and I can still chip and putt. No big drivers though.

I gave up in 2004 when I blew out my C6/7 on the 13th tee at Monarch Beach.

My right hand is still numb. Even after plating and a donor bone.

But, I have more titanium in me than most.

That bracket is bright and shiny in a CT Scan.

Can't get a neck MRI or I will glow in the dark or something horrid.

Still waiting for Jonathan to announce what happened, but someone said he is slow on the web stuff.

I would be too with 3 boys all under the age of 12!

WHO GUESSED THE CONTEST QUESTION FIRST????

Jeff then Jon, but Jon tried for 2 guesses, so I really want to reward Proto31 too.

Proto31 was so damn close, that I will get him one color of his choice.

OH HELL, ALL 3 of you get color choices that Mark has left!

I am ordering at least 5 more.

Jeff, Jon and Proto31, PM me with your color choice and Proto 31 with you name/address.

THANKS ALL!

Here is a pic of what Jonathan will announce..............as he gets to it!

I am one Happy Jack!

I need more pictures posted on this thread of your new toy. I can't go to photo buckets or blogs while at work. Don't ask how I get away with posting to 914world all day.

The build thread, cool car;

OK, but Jonathan STILL NEEDS to make his statement. I want his perspective on this, then mine will follow. What people think and feel is a lot of what this site is about.

Here are some pics.

Nice!

Nothing beats the sound of a flat six in the middle of a 914.



Thanks for the pics, work, or lack of work may comence once again.

Your Avatar changed!

I may need to change mine too!

BACK TO WORK............the world needs more salt, and the mines are deep!

I do not care for the diagonals across the door opening. They'll make entry and egress a pain, and they're in a really good spot to injure you if some SUV bumps you in the door.

And they're not nearly sturdy enough to be part of a roll bar in the eyes of any racing/track day outfits that I know of.

Still, a Six is a Six....

--DD

Steve Gaglione and I are discussing the door bracing, and the PCA guru's may require round and a rear rollbar like Ed Arango showed in his current rollbar thread.

We will check with PCAOCR officials when I get it home this Thursday night.

Thanks, DD!

John

Damn, my mouth is watering just looking at that pic & remembering the Tri-tip & Sauagaes!!!!

It's about time to start planning another Central Coast BBQ Jonathan!

I agree with John & Elliot on the F-ing golf thing! My Dad tried to teach me in HS so he'd have a golfing buddy, but that was sheer brain drain & frustration!
I prefer more contact in my sports anyhoo!

So I understand the "whatitz" is in Stanton now!!??

Stanton tomorrow night!

We have a great Italian joint we will go to for dinner after a group hug on rollbars, seats, belts and paint.

Call my cell after 4 if you want to see the new toy, Tom!

J

What is the great Italian joint in stanton?

Best Regards, Mike914duck

Hi Mike!

It is that deli and little food shop not too far from Katella. Begins with an S.

I will get the name tomorrow at dinner and tell you.

BEST DAMN Meatball sandwich I ever had.

Like 4 times now. All the cops go there. It must be good!

John

I still don't think this mythical "Jonathan" exists... either that or he's angry at me.

John & Greg just picked up the car. Jonathan took a couple of pics.

Eric, he's buried under a pile of phone calls, but has promised to post today.

I announced! Gone to a good home.

That will be one sweet 914 hot-rod when it is done. Forget done....just get it driving

Get the metal squared away first then go back and talk to Cory about color. I put a good word in for you.
