Right Andy. Then you turn the IPad and the picture still is upside down.

Yup, been there, drank there. That place has GREAT pizza.

Can't wait to see the fellas when they get here!

I got here early.

BTW Eric, when are you going to be at Brumos tomorrow? I'll meet up with you. We can go out for dinner before the Friday night get together at Ovinte.

What's worse is the lack of pillows in Ricky and Jaimie's motel room.

"Where's your hand?"

"Between two pillows."

"Those aren't pillows!!!"

Sounds like Erc has a date.

I bet the car sounded awesome in the tunnel!

Actually, we can't wait for the documentary!!!!!!

That's not what i meant. The iPhone/iPad doesn't know shit about pictures posted on this site.

It does, however, auto-rotate images for you that you took on the phone, when you view them on the phone.

So you never know you took them upside down until you put them somewhere *other* than your phone. Smart phone my ass ...

It did and Jaime had the camera rolling

Rain, rain and more rain

In the woods northern FL.

Enjoying the scenery, Socalandy

That shack.....

If they were in NO yesterday, they still have quite the drive ahead of them today! I'm impressed with these guys. See you tomorrow!

Mobile, AL ... my wife's grandfather and uncle helped build the Bankhead Tunnel on Rt 90/Government Parkway if that's the tunnel you went through. (But it looks like you're on I-10 in the pic)

Seriously, another upside down pic?

......Sorry Iphone + 6

I'm sure someone can find the old picture of me and my first 914 taken in the same location 25 years earlier...

Awesome trip!

Epic!

They're already in Live Oak? Wow, must have left REALLY early this morning.

Someone is left handed??

Trouble in paradise or some well deserved TLC after all these miles!?

The only thing that would have made this a better trip would have been a semi full of Coors following you & Buford T Justice chasing you.

Getting a personal tour today.

Bringing the carbs down to the proper altitude. Got some Warner in the housings from the torrential downpour last night. Cleaned that out.

Nothing but gas.

BTW: the "Garage/Trailer Queen" says... SUCK IT!!

This thread is so full of awsome.

Setting the carbs! Ha! I hadn't seen that one coming. The Netherlands is as flat as a pancake (highest point just under 1000 ft...) so no need to readjust them.

I'm glad all goes so smoothly.

Have a great weekend!

Menno

We have an interview tomorrow!

Nice! This may turn out to be the greatest 914 porn ever made

OH YEAH ....Warner in the carburetors is deadly to an engine.

Sounds like the crew picked up some Nawlands accent while down South.

Whaaaata.

You did it

Far out!

On the highway runs we got 23.4 mpg. 17 for city driving.

Here's a list of the maintence items along the way:

Last fuel stop in New Mexico - removed the crappy fuel pressure regulator from the circuit. Above 95 (on the track) it began emptying the float bowls. Swapped a few lines. Problem solved.

In Louisiana, we hit rain. Lots of it. The wipers worked fine and, the intermittent relay and 924 switch got a workout. However, the wipers were jumpy. - in New Orleans we tightened the large 22mm nuts on the linkage.

Leaks - the drivers window (because I changed those top seals before... I wasn't that interested in changing them again). I have two new seals at the shop that I should have installed. Water got in during a downpour while we were dining in New Orleans. Water got in the rear trunk too via the tail light housings. Those seals were new. Water also got in the left tail light housing. That lens and seal was new too. The big one was last night in a very heavy downpour, I lifted the rear lid to get my suitcase out and it dumped a sheet of water on the air cleaner housing (thankfully using a stock housing for this trip). It appears water was directed around the edge of the top where the clips hold on and then it drained past the base seals and stood in the base. This allowed water/warner to suck directly into the air correction jets and emulsion tubes. It runs much better when that doesn't happen btw.

We took some time to tune the carbs for this elevation after that and... We're good to go. Fuel cost was roughly $45-65.00 per day. So basically "nothing but gas".

We got a warm reception here from Skip and the entire Brumos crew.

Eric, your beautiful GT fits right in there at the dealership!!!

Hey Sparkle Nuts, you know who you are. Great idea to bring Kent's 6 home. Now you'll know what parts are going with the car, instead of some toothless, mouth breathing, Wal Mart shopping Carney dude who lives in his Mom's basement breathing carbon monoxide, stealing them along the way. Be safe my man.

yes on the picking up of another factory six. I plan on documenting the trip back to Socal now for some more pictures from today!!!!!!!!! it was off the chart
