What a fantastic event.
If you didn't come to the Route 66 Classic because:
you were 2 tired, it was 2 far, it cost 2 much, it was 2 hot or 2 cold, etc, etc.
or any one of over 2 thousand other excuses . . . .
I have 2 words for you . . . . . . "YOU SUCK".
Not only that, you missed out on a really great 914 Classic event.


Just to make you feel worse better, here are enough pictures so you can feel like you were actually hear with us having a great time.

Beautiful pics man... thanks SO much.

The unofficial start of the Route 66 Classic was Friday night in Williams. Turtle Girl (Liz) was the 1st to arrive. I found her by locating the Jetta in the motel parking lot with New Mexico tags. We set out to do a little exploring. Williams is really a cool little town.

We got back to the motel just in time to hook up with the next to join the party, Gint (Mike Ginter). He was driving a rented F150 from Colorado full of teener parts.

There were lots of good choices for dinner. We ended up at Poncho Mcgillicutty's. Here are Mike and Liz sporting their new chapeau's.

Don't worry Miles. I've got some special ones, just for you.

In fact, we even bought you a gift.
Liz has it. I know she will send / post it as soon as she has a chance.

The next to arrive Friday night were Slits (Ron) and Toast.
Thanks to Liz for the Turtle Beer.

Here's an artsy shot to start the day on Saturday.

Joe Sharp and Linda finally arrive. The Neverland Party Express was having fuel problems. After breakfast Joe took the 'road more traveled' and we would meet up later in the day.

They'll let anyone operate a camera.

Thin Air 914 (Enie DeVries) and his two sons met us in Ash Fork for breakfast.
Their two yellow teeners round out our caravan for the day.

It would have been impossible for us to receive a warmer welcome than we did from Brenda and her crew at the Route 66 Diner in Ash Fork. They had a special menue available just for us. A reporter from the local paper was even there waiting for us to arrive. We will be a feature article in the next edition.

Brenda and staff hard at work.

After breakfast - a few photos of the NARP Celebrities for the paper.

A LeMans start and we are off to leave our mark on Route 66.

Our first stop is in Seligman.

They even gave (yes, gave as in F-R-E-E) each of us an offical Route 66 Drivers License.

Our weapons of choice.

We saw lots of classic / antique cars every place along the Route.
Some were very nice. Some were rusty shells.

Some were more colorful than others.

Some of the vehicles could only be classified as 'other'.

Two of my favorite 914 Fem-fatals. Toast and Elvira.

This if my favorite of all the pictures I took.
The 914 girlz of Route 66. Liz, Toast & Linda.

WISHED I COULD HAVE MADE IT MAYBE NEXT YEAR

On the road again.

oh man my graveled alley SUCKS! I SUCK! YOU ALL ROCK! So, to recap: I SUCK! YOU ROCK!

Damn flat crappy roads... you can see your destination from home. I envy ya... damnit!!

These guys were following me almost all day.

Our next stop was the Grand Canyon Caverns, just outside of Peach Springs.

detail shot.

"Poor Walter" - "Bye Bob"
(inside joke) you had to be there.

After an interesting tour of the caverns, we motored on to Hackenberry.

What 914World.com thread would be complete without boobs?!?!
Here is the bathroom at this Route 66 roadside attraction.

Linda and Mike enjoy a break in the action.

The usual suspects.

Zois, Miles, Slits.

On the other side of Kingman the real 914 fun began. Up to this point we had strictly followed all of the legal limits. On this next stretch of Route 66 we were restrained only by the laws of physics. The 1st 15 miles of so, the road was similar to what we had been on most of the day so far. The remainig 10 miles into Oatman were twisty turning delights.

Sorry the only photo I took on this section has such poor composition. (I was kinda preoccupied at the time.) On the 2nd part I was even busier trying to find the apexes that kept comming and comming and comming, one right after the other.

thanks for the pics....looks like a great time

The ear to ear grins are now permanent.

Uptown Oatman.

Downtown Oatman.

No matter what the species, if they are to young it is still considered statuitory.

Leaving Oatman, I took my place at the rear of the pack for a change.

We hooked up with Joe on the way to the Avi.
