Spent the weekend with the PCA group at Cannon Beach Or. Rained like hell but had a great time. Only 2 problems. My car wouldn't start twice. Got the trailers in a Mercedes to give us a shove. Kept up on the curvies real well. The roads were wet and bumpy, just right for my car. Only 1 brown stain in the drawers. Locked up the front end going into a downhill righthander. My wife almost lost her pizza from lunch. Bless her heart for trying but I don't think she wants to try to keep up with a bunch of 911s any more. She opted out of the drive the next day so I shagged a ride in a 993. What an experience. If I win the lotto I want one of those. I'd still keep the 914 though, the 993 feels competant. No surprises.

The highpoint was a trip to Gary Emory's. This time I took some pictures. There were about 6 356's, all vintage racers. A 914/6 being prepared for the track and a 906 restoration. Tons of parts but unfortunately no 2.0L heads. Still great fun.

On the way we saw the Spruce Goose at the Evergreen Air museum.

My favorite 356

Here's another little cutie

This is the six tub.

Here's a 1500 Super coupe being ready for a land speed record attempt. That a twin plug 6 with 2 cylinders removed.

This is how Gary does chassis stiffening. He includes the suspension ear.

Here's the other side

They are in the middle of some rust repair

A 906. This car was a bunch of parts. Price tag 1 restored 910 valued at $260,000.

The rest of the day wasn't bad. The ride I snagged was the silver car on the right. I still don't know what say about it. It was comfortable, quiet until it reached 4 grand, incredibly fast, abosolutely stable and totally predictable as far as I can see. I was very impressed. I felt right at home, it leaked.

One fast machine 2100 mph. The Blackbird

Will this fit. Oh s**t

My favorite people. The Jone's (Bob and Maxcine) have had this 914 forever. He did a tub up restore and it is beautiful. They do many of the PCA events. He told me a story about bringing a fully assembled color TV antenna home with the top off and Maxcine holding it in.

Did anyone see that episode of Punk'd where they pretended to steal Frankie Muniz's (sp?) 356? That was one be-eautiful car! They said there were only a handful like it in the world and that it was worth over $200 000. I think he's only 16, or something like that, but that kid has excellent taste in cars.

Saw the show, looked like a replica speedster.

That doesn’t mean, however, that Frankie isn’t having a little fun. “I bought a couple of cars,” he says, including the $100,000 Jetta from the movie “The Fast and the Furious,” and a rare Porsche that cost him $250,000.

The Porsche is supposedly a 1956 Speedster.
