We are here. Got in at 11:00 pm last night.

I have to fix the left hand rocker panel, the screws fell out (Thanks @Rusty ).

It is just barely raining here and a bit cool. Hopefully it will dry up soon.

We are getting ready to go find some fun roads and do the touristy bit.

Clay

WOW! You two didn't waste any time

I hope to get to the hotel by 3:00 or so. Waiting to pick up the shirts

Parking lot

wish i could be there!! here is my pictorial contribution
i had this clear ppt applications(XPEL) so that i could be driving this in TN without fear of bugs and stones. looks good though- miss Ya’all!!

@clayperrine You've owned the car for a year and a half. Send me your Paypal email address. I'll transfer you the cost of a screw.

It has been 2 and a half years, and it was 3 screws! And it is given that we will blame EVERYTHING that breaks on the DAPO!


Wish you were here.

Teenerpaluza 2020 Tennessee

Post #109 looks like an ad for my covers! Hated to miss it...again...next year...maybe....

i thought the same thing when i saw that!

This can't be a good 914 meet without a RED car.

Hated to miss it.

At Fontana Dam

914 in the rain.

A red one!! All better now.

We overhears a comment about all the 914s with their yamaka's on.


Betty says you need to sell them with eyes on them like the Cars movie.

Lots of Blue ones here though.

And now I am pulling out my rugs and cleaning out the trunks to dry everything.

We had a great time....

We left Pigeon Forge at 5:15 am yesterday. We turned on to our street at 9:14 pm. Got Elwood unloaded and in the garage. Pulled everything out of him so all the interior and trunks could dry out.

It was a loooooooooonnnnnnnnnngggggggg trip. But worth it.

just checked out the us129photos.com , some great pictures of every one going around that spot! looks like fun!!!, but heard traffic was pretty heavy overall there on saturday,
i am not surprised.

And we have winners!!!

Headed out at 5:15 and was home just before 1:00. Just over 1350 miles and the car did great. It was nice seeing everyone again and doing some great driving. See everyone next time!

I moved Elwood outside, opened him up and took out all the carpet today. I also hung the umbrella cover on the fence. The warm weather and the wind dried everything up quickly.


Thanks again Steve for putting this one together. We really needed it.

This was a great event and I enjoyed meeting everyone. Thank you Steve for putting the event on and look forward to future events. Love the featured cars of the week on 129photos.com

It happens to all of us... even Steve! Thanks to Clay and others for keeping all of our cars running by any means!

LOL... it seems to have become a tradition for me at these events

uploaded my pics to my 914 album (scroll down to get to them):

https://pantherfanz.smugmug.com/Family/n-4k...74-Porsche-914/

Engine quit exactly halfway between home and TN. Had to get the car towed to Eurotechnik in Hendersonville NC. Thought it was the fuel pump. A VW mechanic who stopped to help also did (checked pressure at the sensor and said it was too low). Prettiest NC state trooper made sure I was OK. A teenerpaluza guy stopped as well to check on me. Finally got it towed, had to leave it with a shop I knew nothing about with the key in a key drop since it was Saturday. Rented a car to get home.

Monday diagnosis showed I was wrong. The coil went bad. It was an original '74 part. Don't want to talk about the price the situation put me in. It's back home and now I get to deal with the damaged back end.

I had a fantastic time with you all despite the home trip and look forward to the next event.

Thanks to Bill and John for their phone support and encouragement!

Thumps -Up!

Betty has done that in a skirt and heels.

I can't give you a hard time because I missed the entire Saturday drive with my car in the parking lot on jack stands while I was repairing a broken clutch cable tube. Just no picture evidence... probably jack stand award worthy at a normal event.
