Just a small sample of the stash

6&7x15 Fuchs

Lots more time to join the fun

Good time for a good cause today! Thanks for pulling this together, Mark. I know it meant a lot to Barbara and the McLeod family.

Good to see everyone -- I'd mention everyone I can remember -- but then I'd forget somone. Special to Oscar, however, for making the trip. Really good to meet you, and don't worry, I won't tell Larmo or Elliott what you said about them!

Still a lot of parts available. Man, Jim knew how to collect stuff.

What an amazing collection of parts! Thanks to Mark for organizing this event for Barbara. I'm happy to report my car is running again thanks to Jim. It was nice to meet everyone today.

Fantastic day...great meeting up with East Coast guys. Special thanks to Barbara and Mark for allowing us in.

Great stuff...Bruce Stone and I scored. Although It cost me to send my wife shopping all day.

Jim...RIP

Guess who?...some escaped prior to taking picture.

Had a blast today. Fun gathering and great to see old & new
friends. I hope Jim is pleased with us. Thank you Barbara for having us.
Thanks buddy we miss ya.

Anybody know this guy? Thanks for coming out Oscar!

Hardest working man....great job Mark.

Gratitude goes out to Barbara, The Mcleod family and Mark for setting this event up.

It was a great day of buying parts, talking cars with 914 world members and the Mcleod family, awesome food and just hanging out. The sun even came out for a change!

It was a pleasure meeting Oscar from the west coast as well.

Jim - your parts collection will help keep other 914's on the road - thank you.

What a great time!

Great meeting people face to face when you only communicate via this forum!

While I didn't know Jim, I heard he was a really great guy. Barbara was super sweet to hosting this party.

Props:
To Jim and his love and collection of these cars - RIP
Barbara and her family

West coast Oscar - finally getting to meet the guy I almost bought my first 914 from

Your props said it all...but still, a special thanks to Barbara, Mark, and Adam.

Steve A-

It killed me that I wasn't able to travel for 45 minutes and meet everyone. I'm recovering from hip surgery on the 23rd and just couldn't do it.

Thank you to everybody be who came to the party.
Thank you to everyone who helped at the party.
Thank you to Adam at Unobtanium for a big contribution that everyone enjoyed.
Thank you to Barbra for her hospitality and sharing Jim with all of us.

Just wow. Stopped by for a bit.. Wasn't looking for anything much but wow.. if Jim had 1 of something, he had a dozen of them. Amazing number of parts/cars etc in that garage. I thought myself somewhat 914 knowledgeable, but when faced, even with labeled boxes/parts/drawers I wondered what some of the items were. No wonder his his family are overwhelmed.

Met some nice folks.. talked 914s and other stuff.. Not sure if there is an ability to do this again... in the back of my mind, it takes someone with a lot of time and patience to go through it all, figure whats working/fixable/broken etc to help keep other 914s on the road.

To the two fella's who seemed to spearhead the effort, thank you.

Did she sell everything?

wow sir Oscar! you’re all over the US! where is ur next visit?
We need you here in SoCal at all times, so pls limit ur out of state visits and hoarding parts! we got lot of parts here in SoCal. Give east coast parts for them. hehehe

Before that is Ski Roundtop on Sept. 15th. If you bring a trailer load of stuff and price it right it will move, it's an all air-cooled show and buyers come ready to buy.

The show is in Lewisberry, PA, only two hours from Vienna.

It's my favorite swap because buyers come to buy and sellers come to sell, no ebay pricing BS, just people who want cash and guys who want parts. Also, you get a lot of old racers showing up at Roundtop, so you never know what will make an cameo.

Hey Mark......Big props.

Again, thanks to all I met up with.

Used Fedex to ship items back home. Thanks to Bruce who guided me through this process.

I hope to recipricate warm welcome when you guys come to SoCal.
I promise

Oscar

All boxes arrived

FYI...$190 coast to coast (Fedex), not bad. Thanks Bruce.
Don't be shy, dinner on me when you guys come out to SoCal.
We don't bite

All of you were true gentlemen.

Oscar
