I just got home from the Parts Heaven swap meet. I picked up a few small things. Some nice cars there today and more than I thought would show up considering the threat of rain. Leaman was there, (healtoe914) Bruce Stone was there, (bdstone) as well as Jamie Rust who is organizing the WCR this year. I took a few quick pics with the new HERO wide angle.

Two more.

Yep I was there for about 3 hours, talked to JRust, shoneagle, michaelN, RobW, saw Leamon, and I am sure some others.
Nice pic of my car Elliott.

at least it was a nice one.

That is GGR's current AX chairperson, Joe Lee's 912.... The "Colonel"
Daily driver, AX weapon. Does quite well with the type4 power.
He even pulls a small utility trailer with it!

There were 4-5 914s in attendance earlier in the AM.

That Type IV 912 engine (in Joe's car) was installed by me. Didja notice the custom fiberglass 'engine tin'?

Still kicking myself for not picking up a set of 15" cookie's with track tires for $150. Would have been nice to have for the autoX. I made a decision not to leave with more than I brought though. So I didn't get them. Don't know why the hell I decided to listen to my practical side. Guess there is a first time for everything

I'm proud of you for not buying a new 914

Jelly bean blue 968!!

The paint on that 968 was so bright it's a good thing I had my shades on. But then I always have my on.

We made a weekend of visiting the bay area, with plenty of Porsche content. Went to HPH on Saturday and got the full tour from Rich. He has collected quite an amazing parts inventory over the past 35 years! If you need a 914 part, he's got it.

Stopped by Parts Heaven Sunday morning for the swap meet.

I'm in the market for another 914 asap, so looked at two on this trip. First one in Redwood city was a disappointment because it sounded good in the ad but wasn't running right and was overpriced for its condition. Second one in Auburn was a pleasant surprise for a bargain deal. Looks like it will be my next project. May even drive it to Medford.

914s at Parts Heaven:

Im really sad now I didnt go....

Ooooo is that a Palma Green 75?

That green one was a beauty for sure, with a sixer. It dawns on me that the immaculate white car at the other end with the BBBBs is probably DanT's "Casper" (for sale) and I'm kicking myself for not talking with him.

Andyrew, you'll be even more sad if you don't make it to WCR. Hint hint.

Actually I'm not sure how much of WCR we are going to make...We'll be in the Illinois Valley Wednesday & Thursday. Hopefully get to make it to Medford to see some track action Friday afternoon and visit the gang and cars Saturday morning.

That silver racer was for sale. Nice guy. A member here???

Scott Yeahman....owns a great body shop in Redwood City CA.
The silver racecar is a full tube frame monster....chassis was built down in Texas back in the '80s IIRC.
Scott and I used to run our modded 914-6s in GGR TT together back in the mid '90s.

Yep that is Casper sticking out like a sore thumb with the big black bumpers. (BUBs )

Hah, Dan... Casper sticks out in the 914 crowd all right, but not in a sore thumb kind of way.

Funny, I know Scott's name and reputation but didn't realize who I was talking to. I usually get names/introductions - go figure. He just did some tweaking with the rear wing and figured it was going to help his track times.
