I gotta get a new weather app. One minute it says rain the next partly cloudy... confused24.gif


I’m an optimist. Looks like at least an 80% chance that it won’t rain. smile.gif

I'm out as the scope of my project just grew.

Have fun, bad timing on my part. I'd love to join you guys!!!


Larmo,

Was looking forward to seeing you. You’ll be missed!

Hoping I’m not too late but can finally sign up! Will arrive Friday afternoon and probably there through Saturday night. Just got my 1970 914-6 (tribute- oh well) this summer and looking forward to reconnecting. Sold my previous 6 (real one) quite a few years ago (big mistake) after owning it for close to 15 years of auto cross, time trails and vintage racing (all done while using it as my daily driver)!

7T914-6 +1. Will send PayPal this evening. Very excited to meet and chat! May post a new unused 914-6 header (1-5/8” - non-heat exchanger - painted steel, purchased new from Automotion). Could bring to the event if someone was interested.

Thanks for putting this all together. It’s been a tough year in our area here. We need this!

.... next person mentioning the R word buys a round of beer at Lagunitas.

IT IS NOT GOING TO _________ (be anything other than clear weather!)

@BuddyV @MarkHoward Last evening, Robert and Mark came to the Red Barn for a WCR awards assembly session. Despite consumption of beer, the awards look surprisingly straight! beerchug.gif

We're pretty impressed with ourselves - check out the vinyl look we were able to achieve on that sail panel! av-943.gif

Note the other awards that are visible still have the positioning mask over the decals, hence the blurd-ish look.

So, which of you lucky folks will take this one home? We'll know at the post-dinner presentation in ONLY ONE MORE WEEK!!!

Looking forward to seeing everyone! Safe, safe travels to Petaluma.

The hotel is a MOTEL.... so.... uh... no.

Lagunitas is half a block down the street. If that doesn't work for us, there are a handful of breweries with patios.
Wyvern
Hey I have "hung out " at a motel ... LOL

OK so we will just find each other out and about close by.

Thanks

Dad and I are driving in after lunch on Friday. Probably 1-2.

I was hoping for early morning but that doesnt look like it'll take place.


Im about 50/50 on the car, I'm fixing my clutch issue from last year but I dont know if my fix will work till tomorrow when I get it finished. If its not fixed then I'll just passenger around.
Dad has his car on a trailer.

Keep watching the forecast - out of 4 old cars the 914 is the only one with a heater, finally. haha

Looks like we're getting a late start in a V8 914, gotta swap an exhaust manifold gasket in the morning. Can't make it with the rest of you guys heading up from L.A. but will be rolling into town tomorrow evening.

Just did a final inspection and put a coat of wax on my car. Still need to wipe down interior, clean windows and give the body one more wipe down to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Have a “detail” bag and tool bag packed along with my fire extinguisher in the frunk. Got my AAA card and that should do it. We will hit the road at 6:15 Friday morning. piratenanner.gif driving.gif

In case I forget have a great and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! WOW I just realized I bought my first almost new 914 around the time you were born. Last minute working on the car can’t wait to see all. I’m bringing both our boys. Winston did the last WCR and will be coming with me and Manas our oldest 28 year old will be looking for a passenger seat for the Saturday run. Manas is wanting to build a 914/big Subby. Putting a Feeler out for anybody with a 914/Subby or that has a empty passenger seat.

JamesJ
Be glad to offer my passenger seat. Look forward to meeting you and everyone else.

Wow that's a good early turnout!

See you guys tomorrow. I'm about 95% gonna take the 914. Took it for a 45min drive today and the old issues are creaping up but I think it's drivable.
