Would be in this time if I'm around. Traveling again from 11/3 - 11/15, else it looks good. Finally got around and did some work in the BB and it's running, drove it a few time already.

@playswithcars not sure, car needs a few items before it is autocross ready, but maybe.

Come join me this Thursday for Pints Against Polio at Brewmaster's Taproom in Renton. It's World Polio Day and for every beer you buy, $1.00 will be donated toward eradicating polio. Thanks to our partners, Bill and Melinda Gates all the funds raised will be matched. Every dollar turns into three!

Julie and I are planning to be there at 5:00, but if you wanted to start drinking sooner, don't wait for us.

Might be able to make that Billy. Weather looks halfway decent that day, so I might even drive the 914 in to work!

I should have given you more notice but better late than never...
Tonight there is a party at Porsche of Tacoma from 7-10 to introduce the new 992. I’m guessing there will be plenty of food and drinks to go around and I’ll be there but maybe not till 10. That’s past my bed time.

so your plan is to sleepwalk there?

What days will you be there Rich? Times?

Not sure TBD. Will find out more Wed. when I drop the car.

They just want you to join the club. They're tired of seeing blue and silver 914s

I dont need no stinkeen badges

Julie and I will be there from 2-6 on Thursday working the PCA booth.

WOW
Dropped the car & went looking for the Porsche display...only there isnt one!
Just the PCA's display. I guess Seattle got snubbed as I see they will be in Portland.

Your Creamsicle looks terrific, Rich. I'm very happy to see the LEs got represented.

Nice to see your car made it! To bad no factory or dealer support

No Audi here either.

That's not what I sent them ~

Anyone interested in attending the NW Toy Run on Sunday Dec !st? This year the goal is 4,500 cars. Your only cost is a $5.00 toy or the cash. Starts at 11:00 at Pacific Raceways. Maybe we could grab breakfast that morning and go as a group.

Tentatively planning on meeting with PNWR currently. It would be cool if we got enough 914's to show up in force though...

Join us this SUNDAY for an informal Porsche parade to the Toy Run. We’ll be meet]ing atCedar Park in Renton at 10, leaving at 10:15. Be sure to bring a new toy or $5 cash.

Expect a line to get into Pacific Raceways, so pee before you leave....

I'm out. Hope you guys have a great time Billy.

Although he rarely hangs out here anymore ...Happy birthday Troy

he probably got married.....again.....I saw him climbing a pole ..stopped and harassed him ..he came down before his flagman called the popo...

I’m looking for a machine shop to go through a set of 1.8 heads. Has anyone here in the PNW used or has experience with German Motor Werks in Damascus Oregon?
Thanks,
Jsaum

Why not just buy a new set?

Mostly budget reasons, I’m doing a first time air cooled type 4 build and plan on doing a top end on the 1.8 that’s currently in the car. I have a new set for that build a 1911. I also have another short block built up with a webcam 86 for another 1911. I have a set of dellorto 36’s that need going through that I’ll use. I’ve built other engines in the past this is my first try at air cooled engines. Eventually I want to build a 2056 and run an L jet.

Sounds fun! I am also starting to look at going through some engine work as I think I just lost a lobe on my cam a couple weeks ago. Luckily it held together through the summer for all the local tours and events.

Our PCA region is hosting a tech session on Jan 25 from 9-12 on radar detectors and jammers. The members can invite guests to join in. This will be 2 hours of class and an hour of hands on work with equipment. I’m signed up but I can still add some guests. If you’d like to come along let me know. It will be held in Kirkland.

Nothing downtown is friendly for parking. Last time I parked in a lot on First Ave between Pike and Pine it was $22 an hour

There is a great Cars and Coffee at 10:30 every Sunday at Madrona Park a block north of Leschi. It would be fun to swarm.

He is Alive..just commented on a Jeep pic of mine FB,, didnt ask if he got married..

This Saturday Pacific Raceways is having a open house with donuts from 9-12. It the driving school that is actually putting it on. Rain will likely slow down the attendance but I may try to get there. I need to warm up the oil in my car anyways.

@PanelBilly
Billy whats up with the Mark Greene video interviews?

On my list of things to do

hello........




nope not married..... not even again.......



been busy building another jeep trail crawler.


i stop in to harass Rich or call him for time to time.

Any updates on that Mark Green video from back on 09-15-2019 yet?

Troy, did you sell your 914?

No its still in his garage buried under ..stuff.
I berate him often about it.
Hes mused on occasion about selling but I cant tell how serious he is

BOOO!!!!

@messix Ya well, get your ass in gear!

hey guys - i received this from LeMay - here you go - this vote is today 2/10/20!!!

Classic car tabs increase


The Department of Licensing is introducing House Bill 2373 (HB2373) in the House Transportation Committee. This bill will require you to register (pay tabs) on your collector cars every five years rather than only once per lifetime of current owner. This bill will significantly increase the cost of your collector cars tabs, this bill will pass without you voicing your objection to this increase. The vote takes place on Monday, February 10th and they need to hear from you ASAP. Please contact as many of the committee members and let them know to vote NO on HB2373. Here is a link to the committee directory and a link to the proposed change in the bill.

Please be brief, direct, and polite when leaving a message. You are free to use your own words or try a variation of the following script:

Hello my name is [Name], I'm contacting you to request that you vote NO on House Bill 2373 that require classic cars to be registered every five years, rather than only once per lifetime of current owner. Classic cars are rarely driven and this is an unfair burden to those of us that only take the cars out for a drive a few times a year. Thank you.

UGH! BILL

Just saw this.

I just emailed my 3 reps. It was easy. Pick one and it will forward to the rest.

as did I:
Hello I'm contacting you after learning of the existence of House Bill 2373.
I am significantly alarmed & concerned after reading the bill.
First it provides no causation for the bills existence, what problem is it trying to solve?
From the notes in the bill it seems there is still unknown impact from this legislation due to its very narrow audience?
As a business that caters to this audience and as an owner of several of such vehicles to be impacted, I do not see the reason to waste legislative focus on this bill and would request that you oppose any committee furtherance or vote NO on House Bill 2373. Classic cars (those defined as being over 30 yrs old!) are rarity on the roads due to their value & are infrequently driven. This is an unfair burden to those of us enjoy this hobby & moreover those of us small business that support this collector segment.
Thank you.
