James told me that you need a sweep for the touring group. I'll do it if needed. I will be there on the 22nd if you need any help with anything else.

We considered going via i-20, but the Hurricane damage made us realize I-30 would be better. If you are going via I-30, you may end up seeing us on the road.
We are leaving Wednesday morning and stopping in Hurricane Mills Tennessee for the night.
Look for the Red Suv pulling a trailer with a 914 on it.

Awesome!! i guess i better bring a jacket!, a bit chilly at night.
Shakedown drive went great, I am looking for a few swap meet items if anyone has them
Looking for the letters for the deck lid, I need the following letters

Any condition or color, creating a wall cabinet for spares.
I also need a left side heater valve, the 71 does not seal inside so I’d like to get he heat working again. See everyone in a few days.

@BENBRO02 @steve43017 @poorsche914 @boxster914 @bludden All of us meeting up in Gastonia might be the best bet here.
@BENBRO02 Is there an exit that works best for you and a good place to stage a few of us? I'd suggest 12:30PM, maybe a bit later than some of you might prefer I understand

From daily drivers and outlaws to garage queens and concours winners, all 914s are welcome at Okteenerfest! Make plans now to join other 914 owners for some fantastic driving, plenty of socializing, a bit of showing off, and a truckload of give-aways. What's that? You say your 914 is on jack stands? No worries. Plan to attend anyway as there is always an empty seat available. You won't be disappointed.
Okteenerfest returns to its roots in the Smokies of east Tennessee and will be held in “action packed” Pigeon Forge. This year's route features the world famous Dragon and its 318 curves in 11 miles. As usual, the day drive includes not only a ton of twisties, sweepers, and ear-popping elevation changes but plenty of stopping points to get out, stretch, and enjoy the scenic splendor of the mountains. The lunch stop this year will be TBD.
In addition to the driving, Okteenerfest features plenty of good eating, an awards ceremony, tons of give-aways from some very generous vendors, a Peoples Choice Car Show, and some of the nicest people you will ever meet gathered in a single place.
If you have not been to an Okteenerfest in the past, mark this one on your calendar. In 2019, over 150 people attended representing 60+ 914s making Okteenerfest the largest 914 gathering in the U.S. in recent history! If recent car events around the area are any indication, this year's Okteenerfest should top those numbers!
The fun begins Thursday afternoon with event check-in. Watch and be amazed as fellow teeners arrive and the parking area fills up with a kaleidoscope of colors. Meet up with friends new and old to catch up on what's been going on the past couple years!
Thursday evening will feature a short “sunset drive” to experience the beauty of the Smokies.
Friday begins early with the “main event” - a drive on the area's fantastic mountain roads. With planned rest and lunch stops along the way, the daylong drive is a 914 lover's utopia.
After the drive, attendees have Friday evening free to do as they wish. Many will gather to eat dinner and then later hang out and socialize. With the event based in Pigeon Forge, there is PLENTY to see and do.
Saturday begins with a People's Choice Car Show followed by a “free” afternoon to go for a drive, shop the many outlet stores, or enjoy some of the many attractions found along the Parkway in Pigeon Forge. A swap meet is being considered if enough interest is shown. During the afternoon, the event promoters will be busy preparing for the evening's Awards Banquet where upwards of $10k worth of “goodies” are given out thanks to our generous sponsors.
Sunday morning will bring the sounds of 914s rambling out of the parking lot as the event ends and attendees head home.
What more could you ask for? Mark your calendars and be sure to join other 914 owners for some fantastic driving, plenty of socializing, a bit of showing off, and a truckload of give-aways in a unique setting that you won’t want to miss.
Your $85 Registration Fee includes:
• Thursday evening “sunset drive”
• Goodie bag with some GREAT swag!
• Friday Driving Tour on some of the best roads in the country!
• Saturday entry to Peoples Choice Car Show & Swap Meet
• 914 Tech Quiz entry
• Tech Sessions throughout the weekend
• Saturday evening awards banquet dinner
• Chance to win some great trophies
• Tickets for a chance to win some AWESOME door prizes from some great vendors
• Event T-Shirt
• Lifetime of memories, meeting new friends, and a chance to bond with your 914

We just left the Arkansas welcome center. We met a preacher there. When we told him we were married, he pronounced us brother and sister.

just keep checking your level.

Just bring it and drive. It won't be the only 914 there leaking oil.
Left VA this AM, arrived in Mountain City TN. Car shut off once then no spark. Points slide out of adjustment. Fixed on the off ramp, the wife wasn’t too worried. Rained most of the way, weather is cooler and ready for arrival tomorrow.

The car show will be held on a paved lot below/behind the Convention Center.
The Little Pigeon River runs along one side and there is a parklike setting on two sides of the lot. Should be nice.

When I arrived at my friend’s house in Gastonia for the night he offered me a garage spot and pulled out cardboard and put it under my car. Should I be offended or impressed?
I stopped by Raleigh (2-1/2 hours detour) and met Robert Finnegan who gave me a FREE set of heat exchangers and taught me how to clean my idle jets on my Webers. What a great guy!
I got all the "stuff" finished up for Okteenerfest... awards plaques, goodies, printed material, packets stuffed, etc. I think it might all fit in the 914 
BTW, I sent out an email this morning with a link to the itinerary. If you didn't see it, maybe check spam folder. If still no show... don't worry about it. There will be a printed version in your packet.
See you soon!
