Here's the car I'll be taking. It's an 86 911 turbo.

be out on 78 around 7:10am....a swarm of 914s should be zooming by around then.

Should be all you have to do is ask the guys directing traffic into the parking area that question...

It's all pretty low-key and everybody is really friendly and helpful. CPA puts on a really good event.

Worst-case, just park somewhere and when you find where you want to be, tell whatever volunteer worker is in that area you'd like to move your car there. They'll tell you what you have to do. Shouldn't be any issue.

They want to know that you're actually paying for parking (this event raises money for CPA and believe me, they have to pay to rent the space...) but once you're in, it's pretty much a non-issue.

Nice car.

Hmmm... I just got my 914 running today... how far is this from Columbus?

You guys gonna be hanging at the bar at the Hotel? I don't really drink but I do however encourage drunkenness by others.

By the way very nice 911. I would get one if I had kids and needed more then 2 seats.

We are here.... Where is everyone else???

If you were taller than your car, they'd see you....

Is there a time and place for the no plan plan?

stuff I will be bringing....
wheels, Mahle, with tires...boxes of other junk..

Streets & Trips says 380 miles.

I drove it from Reno one year ...

im getting butterflies in my stomach.....

just rcvd jake raby's type 4 engine rebuild video - immediately slipped it into my dvd drive and viewed it from begining to end - very excellent : )

You got time...go build one, pop it in your car and get to Hershey.

Rich

I'm thinking you can rebuild one of these type IV's and use it to drive the supercharger on 'yer V8 Jimmy!

Dude...
I need to see the motorcycle...NEED pics.

RIch

There's some updated pics in my blog.....

MATT! Are you gonna meet us at 6:15!

at about 8:45 i noticed a bunch of laundry on my bed - so i asked my son and wife to knock it out while i put some stuff in the car for tomorrow - when i return, it seems my son used some internet website to listen to music while folding clothes and - BAM - he puts a nice virus on my work computer - spyware protect 2009 - so rather than going to bed, i have been downloading and running programs to get this efin threat off my comupter - well - there went some quality sleep : (

Clay, we just got back form Dukes. Where were you?

Very Impressive motorcycle.
Do you think you will need to have some cooling for traffic situations?
I understand why your building it...it will just be cool.
Practical does not always need to be in the picture when you are building something cool.

RIch

Prolly hiding behind a potted plant....

I had a terrific time and it was good to see alot of familiar and new people. Spent alot of money but that's what I went for. I heard we had a caravan of 38 914's at the entry gate. I had a thought of recording all the VINs to add to the world db but it was really too great a task for the time available. What events are next? Import Carlisle mid May, East Coast Cookout/Mid-Atlantic Mid-Engined Ramble in New Market, VA around 9/14/2009?

As soon as Dinner was over, I had to get Noel and Mike to drive my drunk ass home. Got a call from my wife and Theo was sick, so I had to go home.

Here are some more pics I took from the show. When I get cables out of my car later on I'll post up pictures from the dinner.









I wanted to have sex with it...






Packing up the show

1988 911 backdated with long hood; this is a daily driver

We had a lot of fun, met a lot of people. The best part was the drive in, that was awesome. So we all got there 9ish and i left a little after 12:00. I didnt sit at all, just kept walking. The wife was tired, lack of sleep from the 2 nights prior. So we left. Next year i will stay longer.

Great time
nice to meet everyone

joseph

p.s. the good looking woman in my photos is my wife for those of you who did not meet us.

Hershey was AWESOME!
Blackie finally got to go to Hershey!

Thanks to all the organizers!

Susan and I took the back way home and found the perfect hotel for next year!

I had the time of my life,I saw more 914's than any other event that I have been

too. The irony is that there were more in the parking lot than we had. If those

914's were with us it would been a 100 or more.

If are reading this and weren't there this yr. , please be there next yr.

Kudo's to the event planners , Thank You !

Dave

...what a great time...guessing we will make the Invasion a annual effort!!
good pic of one of our fearless leaders....towle

A couple of nice cars that have not been posted yet. The orange six was as good as it gets. The yellow car really was done nice.

Finally got back home.

What a great time. We will do this next year.
Loved meeting everyone, and sorry I did not get to meet all the people.
We did the AutoX today...that was alot of fun.
Small group of diehards stuck it out.

Rich

It was specially nice to see you again Dave. I'm so glad you made it. Now rest up. You've got some dog walkin to do and scooping to do around the corner at the basketball court. LOL!

Seriously, Glad to see you buddy!

Okay, I finally got the rest of my pictures downloaded and uploaded. Here are the worthwhile shots from the dinner at the Sinkhole.

The room starts to fill...




We had 42 people pre-register, 45 settings were placed, and there were no empty chairs. At some points, it was standing room only.



Lots of black and tans...


My hair is way crazy...


Mike, Rich and Ray start handing out the awards


I got a tractor


Ed gets a 914 clock!


And thats all I got.

Now, to get my car re-dismanteled, fix the unfixed, and get it driveable by September....

But, it made it to the Mid Engine Invasion!
