Shifter is in and adjusted along with a much needed cell phone mount. Shake down run tomorrow then a proper wash. A couple of days to get my gear and tools together. Any updates on Mr Blizzard’s engine install?

You could change your name to match the plate.

Weather looks iffy.

Weather looks iffy.

That’s their daily forecast, “chance of “scattered “showers “

That's fall weather in NC.

Btw, same thing goes for spring

Remember last year.... hurricane turned into 2 beautiful days.

Oh heck... I'll play too.

Combine this with 914 bourbon! It could get weird folks.

Ooooh, I know what that is

Well I am out for this event. Wife's side of the family lost a long standing member, funeral services land right in the middle of this event.

Good news for you all, room is open in the Best Western if you're on the waiting list.

Went to open the drivers door and it wouldn’t open. Turns out it’s handy to have spare parts. All better now. Can’t imagine climbing in and out of the passenger door all Okteenerfest. Hahaha

I’ll be there for the first time in three years. I attended the first three then we had three years of hurricanes and related damage in SC. This year no hurricanes. However, I did have to go to DC for work this week so won’t be in a 914. I’ll be driving down from DC Thursday. I did drive my Boxster to DC. So, at least I will be in a Porsche!

We leave tomorrow morning, 0600, to beat rush hour traffic out of Dallas.

See y'all on Thursday.

Its Microsquirt.

Well I got one of my 3 punch list issues taken care of- back pad recovered and last night reassembled! Should get this in car tonight!
- this was a 914rubber.com kit, with my original backpad and foam.

- so btw I may be selling my other back pad- it’s the fiberglass ones that have a 1/8”foam and wrapped with sport vinyl, perfect for someone that wants a backpad that does not stick out as far as a standard one, say if you use some type or racing seat like Sheels etc. my car had 911/993 seat in it at one time and the seats could go all the way back - PM anyone if interested- that one is also black.

Time for Admin to start a Live Event uploaded for 2019 Okteenerfest pictures??

Started one here. Will need an admin to activate.

Well... that means you are riding with me on the tour.

By the way, do you have an adult diaper???

Pfft...you're driving...not Betty (or did you ask him that because ANY driving you do is terrifying?)

Nadine... please kick Bob out of the car and make him ride with me. I want to scare him!

Just a reminder...

Heading out in the AM to Mountain City, staying the night at family’s house then meeting a few around noon on Thursday. We’re going to hit a few twistys and work our way over to Banner Elk. See everyone soon!!

I am not getting in that with 100 adult diapers.

LOL

We will be on the road tomorrow once the wife gets home from work. Staying the night in Louisville KY tomorrow night and finish the drive Thursday. Trailering the beast there. Really looking forward to this!!!

Here's an interesting fact... the approx 100 "owner" attendees (not counting spouses, friends, etc who are also attending) collectively own over 160 914s
In total, this group has owned well over 300 914s over the years... this number does not include the half dozen who answered "I lost count"

We hope to see ~70 of these 914s at Okteenerfest

Just reading over the email for the event and a little confused. Where am I doing my tech session? No mention of inside the hotel, some mention of multiples out in the parking lot? I wont be there until early Friday evening at best because I have my kiddo Thursday and he has to go to school

You will be inside in the banquet hall!

Event rule if you show up late you have to buy event organizers a beer.

For all of you that are meeting for lunch in Knoxville we are meeting for Lunch
Corner 16
1640 Bob Kirby Rd,
Knoxville, TN 37931

We will be stopping at exit 407 to pick up Rick Orr. Call me at+18653371453 if you have questions.

How about Granny's homemade elixer.

The Texas and Alabama folks are planning to meet up at 11:30 a.m. for lunch and that looks like a convenient place to stop.

Holy cow not packed yet! Which shirt to bring? How about all 6 previous Okteenerfest shirts! See ya’all tomorrow/Friday
