Red Mountain Pass....one of our driving routes!

We should do a photo with the 914s in Missing Man Formation.

Like!

Hope the weather going over Red Mountain Pass clears up. That news clip looks awesome, it looks like something made for a Jeep.

shirts were mailed this morning.

When we plan to go over is should be better. We are at the tail end of the monsoon season. Here is a 10 day outlook for Ouray, CO:

Seven days to go....

Double Like.

Hello Everybody!

I just found out about this thing and became a new member.

I'm thinking of going. It's not a deal breaker but the hotel is booked Friday and Saturday. Anyone have a booked room they want to unload?

Thanks,

Bob

Welcome from another Scottsdale 914 guy! Hope you can make it!

Ummm is it me or did someone just totally fuch up pop's ride? Where's the challenge if you know exactly how much oil you have and you're not overheating?

Oh wow, we're multiplying..

I can be in front of the pack now and show you guys how to drive

Well, signed up for AAA Premier.. Figured it would be good to have a 200 mile tow in my back pocket driving a 914 lol.

Good call.

Who doesn't have AAA that owned a 914.

Sharon,

Do we have a room or tables set aside for lunch on Friday in Silverton?

If not, we might want to be sure we are in Silverton before 11:30 (it shouldn't be a problem as it is a short drive from Ridgway). The first train from Durango arrives at 11:30 (second one arrives at 12:15) and things fill up fast.

PS: There will be just one extra Durango guest for lunch on Friday plus me.

Definitely one of the highlights.....

Hey Mike! We have a reservation at the lunch location but I need to confirm the attendance which is why I'm harassing folks to let us know when they'll be attending.

Sharon my daughter will not be coming with me. So I am lone wolfing it for everything & will be there for the whole weekend

Conner and I will arrive Thursday night and will be joining up for lunch!

Excellent! I will be there at lunch with one guest who will drive back to Durango after we eat. I will join the group and head back to Ridgway.

Count me in for lunch on Friday.

Pit stop to view Red Mountain ....

We plan on arriving in Ridgway on Wednesday, and will be there for all the activities.

Oh crap.. Car not ready yet, still leaking oil.

Not sure how I am going to manage getting there Friday but I'm going to still try.

Add a case of oil to the front trunk and make the drive.

WWSD?

Can't do the whole weekend. Too much backed up at home after 5,000 miles and seven states exercising the -6 in August. Have a conflict Saturday but will come up early Friday for the day drive and evening festivities and head back to Grand Junction late that day. Look forward to meeting everyone.
What's the anticipated departure time from Ridgway on Friday?

I'd love to but the keeper of the car says it's not leaving the shop 'till it's done.

Understood.

Hummm...... A 914 that leaks oil.
What a shock.

Mine leaked oil for as long as i've known it. About 13 years now.
Anyone remember the oil slicks from RRC Moab where I ended up buying a case of oil to keep in the front trunk?

But seriously Justin, 914's just leak oil. If its a real concern, have one of the local 914 peeps come by to check it out if they are allowed. Glenn is nearby.
And dont worry if it is last minute before you can make it. That is when some of us finally straggle in.

RFoulds posts:
At a drive through Palm Springs he showed up at the hotel with smoke pouring out behind her m. I asked if he wanted some help finding the oil leaks and he said, "why? They aren't hurting anything!"

I'll be arriving Wednesday too

Which car will you be driving?

Pieper

I'll be driving Apollo and Conner will drive his Orange car!

This one will NOT be ready since I have been taking it apart for the last few days ..... But I do have a spare car.

Please excuse the Porsche D90 wheels. They are on loan when it goes to the paint shop., so the Fuchs don't get over spray on them. I had to put the 8" up front (with spacers) and the 6" on the rear (with spacers) because the modern offset/backspacing is so different. But they were free and just sitting outside my friends house.

We forgive you.....

Is that the pink car?

Supposedly, it isn't pink. It's salmon, or fuchsia or raspberry.....something like that.

It's not pink - this one is.

Thanks Jimmy.

Hey there! Wait a minute.
Don't the same rules for the Sandbox 'Hot Chicks' thread apply here?




NO PINK !!

Ok it's not pink... It is Raspberry.
