Bears ?....

Naaaa, bears don't like to hang out where there's a lot of mountain lions ...

So cal peeps,

Anyone driving up tomorrow have room for the shirts and sweatshirts?
One big bag and box.


I have lawrence driving up on Friday and he is planning on bringing them but if anyone can meet/receive Oldschool (Jamie) tonight he has all the shirts/sweatshirts ready to go.

I just want to give one more go before I conclude that we cant have the shirts/sweatshirts on thursday night..

Give me a call

Thanks!

Didn't you learn your lesson last time Andy?

Weather Update.....friend just left area......so warm at night had to leave all windows open.....foot of snow next day...back to warm...80 degrees....streams so loud don't plan on any sleep....plus rumor has it dirt road in store for us.....grrrrr.....oh well....parts are available.....
gg

Those are also reasons to love it. The Sierras are awesome. Can't get awesome without variables.

Only dirt road I saw was about 1/4 of a mile to get to the front of Mono lake. Now bumpy road I cant comment on. I bet we will get a few bumpy roads and maybe even the first park road drive is bumpy and we have to slow our pace.

If anything gets bad then well turn around and have an adventure



Weather shows no rain or snow and clear skys with highs of mid 70s all weekend.

Up and packing.......gonna get rolling around 4...

On hWY 50 heading to Lake Tahoe.

Drive safe Jerry, your car is looking fantastic!

I wish it looked as good close up.

HELP!!!!!

hi - my 914 died here in reno (i drove from seattle) - i think that the cylinder head sensor failed - my wife and i are going to rent a car, and have AAA tow the 914 to the event, in hopes that someone will be able to help out (and help us avoid a tow back to seattle) - if there are any mechanic types, guys with parts, etc., that could help out, it would be most appreciated!!! - my cell is 206 xxx xxxx - we should be at the hotel by 5pm - the 914 may be there tonight or tomorrow - glad it failed here in civilization!!!

thanks, brad from seattle

just received a call from jerry who recommended a few local mechanics - called and it's lunch time in reno - at the least, i will try to get the part (also need modified socket to change out sensor) - thanks very much for the quick response - fyi: i'm on a flip phone and laptop! b

I know Cary is bringing everything and I believe someone else is bringing everything. There is pleanty of know how in the group to be able to fix it!!

what year and engine is the car?

I don't have a spare cht. are you still in reno?

I didn't read the second post.
You get part and slotted socket. I have all the rest of the weaponry.

Just arrived at Mammoth

Come on by for registration! Well be here till 9am and back here at 830am!

Do you mean stay there til 9 PM ?

Just seeing this now. EBS In Reno might have your part. Ask for Don Weaver but John would know too.

Reno Rennsport if you aren't in to fixing it yourself...

That is too much matching luggage Jim, sure you are not a 911 owner?

I have a spare CHT sensor

Jim these are just cool
Wish you guys were here.
Thanks,
Jerry

hey guys - BIG THANKS to jerry, valley wagen of carson city, the guys who called and posted, and my wife for helping out BIG TIME to get my 914 fixed (i think/hope) - valley changed out the sensor with one they had from a pulled working engine - the car ran fine all the way up here - we got in around 8:30 pm - my wife has the rental chase car, just in case - hopefully that's the end of the problem - had a great meal at the bar/grill in the lodge - i heard that gas is in town about 4 miles away - now i need a spare cht sensor and notched socket for my spare parts kit!!! - that's it for now - see you at 9:14 am or earlier!!! thanks again, brad

This really looks like a good one. Good turn out at a great location. So sorry I couldn't make it but I'm stuck here in Barcelona. Oh well, at least I got to swim in the Med. yesterday.

Cheers. Elliot

Jerry that looks damn good, hope you have a great time at the rally.

So sorry Elliot. it's such a shame you had to go to Spain. Nothing to see, nothing to do...

Wow! Looks like a blast guys! Hopefully I can make the next one.

I went skiing today instead of the drive. I will do the next drive tomorrow.

Are you doing a back flip?

I was trying to mimic the snow boarders doing flips

That is a great plan. Now I'm really sad that I'm not there.

I made it back to Phoenix. Took 12 hours, 115 lbs of ice and 123 lbs of fuel. The B-Kool uses a lot of ice but at least 250 miles of my drive were 105+F and I was very comfortable. Many thanks to Andy and his helpers for hosting this outstanding event. Plus a thumbs up to 914Rubber Tangerine Racing PMB sierra Madre and all the other World vendors who donated goodies and support. Chris set the friggin bar higher than anyone can ever exceed with his generous and way cool metal work trophies and awards. It was great seeing old friends and making new ones.
Finally thanks to Sir Andy for starting the best online community.
Mike
Ps if Kent offers to sell you a 914Rubber dash please PM me...

Hope everyone had a fun, and safe home.
We had a great time and would like to thank Andrew, and his helpers for putting together a fun event.
Big thanks to all the venders/sponsors for the really neat prizes they donate to the fun.
Wow Chris! Great work
Great to see everyone, and hope to see everyone again next year.

Nicho living it up!

Too funny. I won't sell of your dash top. It is safe in my storage. On the way home a guy towing a 356 passed me towing my 914. That might be the only 356 that ever passed a 914. It was great seeing old friends and making new ones. Hats off to all that made this event possible. There was "a Lot of Work" and planning that went into this event and it showed.

That's awesome.

Will I do this again? Not for many, many years as I timed this one pretty poorly on a personal note.


I already have heard interest from key parties for next year's event and they are anxious to get it going! We just need to find someone to head it up, unless the persons who contacted me are looking to head it up.





For those that did not get their large T shirts, I will keep you informed about when they are coming in and make sure they get sent out ASAP. For those that have purchased a T shirt for me to ship, I will be getting to that shortly. Still recovering from work/home life catching up on me.

Kudos to you's Andyrews. It took a lot of work to coordinate this thing, and it sure looks like an epic success.

Thank you Andyrew!!! I think YOU were the most amazing group leader and organizer. You looked out after all of us like a summer camp leader and it was a really safe feeling and environment that you provided. Of course thanks to all of the people you mentioned.....have fun with the new baby!!
gg

thanks very much to all - we made it back to seattle on monday - no problem - again, a big thanks to everyone, especially ANDREW, the organizers, sponsors, amazing metal dude, JERRY FOR HELPING ME OUT BIG TIME, etc - we had a great time - the location was fantastic, great amenities, laid back, etc. - the geography was daunting, to say the least, but driving these old porsche's at high altitude, in the middle of nowhere, is what it's all about!!! PLEASE POST PHOTOS - thanks again - hope to see you next year!!! brad in seattle

Snow in Mammoth today.

Good timing Andrew!

There certainly was a lot of LUCK to be had that weekend, for good and bad. It ended up working out just fine

Had another one to share.
