Porsche Crest On any given Saturday...

Man, what a blast! After Tyson got Superman's door check mount welded up (a miracle in itself), The SSI fun began ( those things are a work of art!).

Other highlights included:

Island911 getting his car up on the lift so everyone could point out what HE needs to fix! Island also got his hands dirty helping to "custom" bend the (usually re-routed/replaced) oil line on the SSI install.

Getting to ramble on with Kmatts and Doug Zielke about Ducati motorcycles. Doug also brought his SCWDP stickers for the SC faithful. Even as a Carrera owner, I have to admit they looked very good.

John Walker coming to the rescue with the stud jig tool, and torch expertise. A walk down to his shop afterwards was also amazing. Incredible engine projects, a wide-body conversion, and the infamous "Turbo Speedster".

Don911's immaculate `87 Carrera!

And of course the post-clinic burgers and brews at the Ale House down the street with Doug, Kyle, and Glenn.

Thanks again Tyson for hosting the excellent get-together!

About the "Driving Clinic", I was thinking late Feb., early March? Even though it's not 100% Porsche related, it should still be fun. Maybe we can get Leland over for that one? It would be great to get Randy Wells in on it as well. Maybe you guys with the track experience (Randy and Tyson) could show us all a thing or two!



Oh and Aseem, you are correct, no beer cans. Don't worry though, there was plenty of beer, it's just that us civilized NW folk drink our spirits out of bottles (Red Hook, and Harp to be specific)!
