And for Gwen,
After watching the auto cross on Sunday, we think that you should make up a new hat (no seriously). Maybe use some "Got Cones" like artwork with a car on two wheels, with the cones in the image, that says, "Got Swaybars?"

Elements! Heck I did it on the gravel parking space so I am real happy it turned out at all. Got to color sand and buff it out this week.
Today I fixed the blown out universal shift bushing. Man that was easy to do for once. It made for a heck of a "lets not stop at all" drive home. 2nd gear starts up a hill or two ate up alot of me new clutch.

So, Liz, Joe, and myself all made it home safely this evening. We made better time home (a short 23 hour drive
). After throwing some burgers on the grill for dinner, Liz headed home, with her son in tow, seeking some well deserved rest and solitude! But, before she left we got a chance to talk about the next WCC (only a few hours home and already excited about next year!).
Mike W's car made it home safely in my hands, and I must say Mike, driving your teener home was great fun! Makes me think that I am selling the GTI soon for a 914 daily driver!
Next, RRC '06!!!

It's not my original design. I'd feel too guilty using Johanne's work for my own profit, even if he is French
Ask him or do a one-off with my variation through CafePress.com or such service.
Johannes has his design stuff here:

Hey all - it was soo cool to watch the club go around the track. I'm pretty sure there were more 914's than any other car club there. Maybe next year I'll actually be able to bring my car and be part of the ..um... festivities!
I thought I had a video of all the cars going down the front straight it to post - but turns out i have no video at all from the weekend, a hell, it was that kind of weekend

For many of us who drove many, many miles to get to Oregon, the sun was getting to us by the end of the event. I know that I was looking for shade everywhere we went. Joe and Liz, two people with very fair skin, actually came back with tans despite the SPF 50 sunscreen they were constantly applying!

My 13 yr old son. He had a great time at the WCC and shot some really nice pic's. He has already purchased 5 spoke wheels and rubbed out the roof on the RC car. He wants me to get you to paint one like series 9's car - the 914 RS!!!
We'll see.

I came back and Monique said "Wow, you sure got dark!" I was getting cooked on Sunday at PIR as the one small item I didn't bring was sunscreen but I didn't get too bad a sunburn.
We were fighting for shade spots under the canopy!!!

Nice pics everyone...it was great but we just got back this evening....Looonnng trip thru Washington and Oregon and back down the coast to home....had 2 days of rain in Washington and Oregon and blistering heat when back in Ca. I'll post the few pics my POS camera deigned to produce for me. I'm already jonesing for that great beer and tequila. Actually, I just had a sip of the Scotch my sweetie brought me back from Scotland...it's the same year as my car (1973) didn't cost quite as much but it's a hellova lot smoother....mmmmmmm. 10-4. over and out, Jim

yep, when the chips were down, the engine puked a spark plug. we were bummed to say the least, missed the entire mt. hood experience. but since that car sat undriven for 20 years, it was probably just a matter of time anyway.
mucho thanks to craig for his generous assistance, and to dan and troy for wrenching on my car in the heat of the day. when we get back from victoria, i'll assess the damage and find a new 1.8 head. and i need to figure out what to do with the olympic blue 914 that we won at the raffle.
it was great to meet everyone!

While everyone was basking int he glow at Timberline and down the back side to Hood River and The Vista House. I received a call from Aaron Gilihan that he was way back in Sandy at Shortys Corner with spark that did not want to stay in the head.
So I put his car ont he tow dolly, and headed bact to I84 to take him home so he could get his wfies BMW convertible to continue on the tour.
Instead we ran inot the MASH unit from up north, Dan Root, Troy Messix, and Geoff Hines,and a few others who shot out of the gas station and headed east on I84 to hookup with the rest of the group.
Pics show Dan and Troy tolling away on the plug hole, but to no avail. The car now rests at CAMP 914, waiting for the surgeon to return.
