I would like to propose a HUGE ceremonial box of Band-Aids be given at the Saturday awards banquet to:
"The Person With The Most Injuries To Their Body, Received As A Result Of Thrashing Their Car Until The Very Last Minute Trying To Get It To Okteenerfest 2019".

(The thoughts that come to you, standing in the pharmacy, in the aisle with all of the First Aid stuff, holding a big ol' box of Band-Aids, thinking to yourself "maybe I should get two?")


I'll even supply the box of 'Ceremonial Band-Aids' to be given away... we seem to have more than one of them. biggrin.gif

Hmmm....me thinks this is fixed with a pre determined winner? lol-2.gif av-943.gif

There's precedent for that... For example, Clay was going home with the Shaft last year no matter how much I had to lie embellish. w00t.gif

You want to talk about fixed?! Clay was saying the other day there should be an award at Okteenerfest for the 914 with the most spark plugs (his new engine is a twin plug with a grand total of 12). I just told him to quit trying to think of pity awards he could win and get back to working on the freaking car! biggrin.gif

Well... I'm sure that the 914 isn't making it (currently at Translog getting the engine compartment painted, etc.) and the 993 is stuck in the shop having an AC repair completed and was getting an alignment before the 15+ hour drive (round trip to/from Baltimore/Banner Elk) but needs some rear upper control arms so I doubt it'll be ready by next Wednesday to drive down... so, looks like I'll just be driving down the daily driver (2014 VW Tiguan R-Line). Anyone need anything? Air Compressor? Floor jack? Air tank? I'll have plenty of room to haul crap down now... LOL. Still excited about coming... just wont have a Porsche with me this year.

In the meantime, here's some pics of what I wont be bringing... haha

Yea, I 'm a little late making reservations,

Which of the local hotels is the best choice ?
It seems like comparing 914s to 911s!!

I've never been to that area no idea of 'lay of the land'.
Any help appreciated.

One “new” item that may get into the garage before next week is my original back pad was recently recovered by a local auto interior guy. Foam is in great shape, and a month ago just a day before my heart attack episode I removed the old vinyl, with intention of recovering it myself but with having to move etc I didn’t think it would get done, so many thanks to my friend Jim that knew this guy and took it all over to get done! Now
I just need to locate an OEM back pad light !

Mike , looks like you are going to make it! Praying for it to fire up and run on with out complication.

Hey, that stuff is distilled in NuYak according to the label, so it can't be called bourbon because it's not made in Kentucky! It's just common ol' whisky! bootyshake.gif

Little time with the sewing machine and I whipped up some protectors for the tie down straps going through the wheels.

When I picked up the Cayman last year I had to trailer it home and I had cut up a old blanket in to pieces to wrap around the straps so they wouldn't rub the finish on the wheels. It worked, but looked kind of shitty with the loose ends flapping in the wind.

so this morning I dug out the pieces and sewed them into tubes. Then I can slide them over the tie down straps where they hit the wheels.

Yeah I am trailering down.

Since the car doesn't need the engine pulled out or anything like that.....
All it will need is a bath before we go and I am ready.

See you then.

Well there you go. 2 links about $20. I guess you will have to re-register, but just once and never again.

Here in middle TN they have a few more years of emissions testing. That is why I went Antique with my 86 VW. But I was always worried that I would get pulled over. They say, if you get a ticket, driving on a weekday, you could have to pay ever year's registration fee since you got the tag.... confused24.gif

Another benefit of going with a 70s tag is most cops don't know it is antique. With yours, it is right there in front of them. Now get off the PC and start breaking in that new engine! first.gif first.gif

Good idea to make wheel protectors.

Thanks for the great idea. I'll be making some 'Rim Tubes' for use on cars that will allow.
