HEY Mr9146, THIS IS A 911 BOARD. Take your Italian-trash beater comments over to the 914 board, they can appreciate your polished humor much more than we can.

LMAO

Kurt, BFGoodrich? Get that nonsense off the board!

btw, nice car :D

Kurt, EXCELLENT car. My dad had a bugeye back in the day, and it has always been a fave.

Kurt

Great looking Sprite. Those are neat little cars and have a unique personality and charisma as well.

Boy, you guys sure showed him!

All comments/insults welcome.....

That New Years run looks awesome (Non Porsches included) It's sad to see the snow outside, and see the pictures of your run in beauty weather...I can't get anymore green with envy.

I'd post a picture of my bimmer, but I think the original intent of this thread has been tainted.

:)

Possibly, but I have seen the Nations cup with Lambourghini's and the right driver, and they still don't win over the GT3's... hehehhe (but their power is amazing... they just can't turn)

RE: Mr9146, fortunately he doesn't typify the usual 914 owner. Don't send him over to the 914 board, just send him away. Or if he does come over to start some trash talk, JP, MikeZ, ChrisC, et al will handle him nicely. (Oh, and dont forget BradR, for Brad it'd be like fighting a blind folded, one-armed, one legged man.)

On the more serious side, looks like all had a good time and I'm glad there are these times when all of the cars are appreciated as a group. From 904 to 996, everyone gets to share. As it truns out, I was up on the westside of LA collecting parts, 'nother couple of miles and I coulda been there.

someone from the event have video footage? I would love to see a clip or two.

Good heavens... Kurt V, that's just going TOO far... :D :D

I want to thank all the Pelicanites that participated in yesterday's new year's run. We had a blast with all the different cars, the great weather, and super attitudes. We have a Solvang Stomp in the works for the spring.
Stay tuned......

Dave @ TRE, Thank You: Looking forward to the Solvang Stomp and some more of your high octane Coffee.
Thanks to all the Pelicanites too that put the smile back on my face.
Cheers everybody

Kurt V, that's a GREAT looking Bugeye. I see a steel bonnet modified to til forward --- very trick. Have you gone to a 1275?

Personally, as an automobile enthusiast, I am happy to see ANY 'exotic' on the road. Nothing gets me going worse than a V12 locked in a climate controlled garage...

I am sorry I was asleep and missed the action... this weekend is supposed be in the 80's. Maybe we can re-create the drive during 'daylight' hours?

That New Year's day run was a total blast, but I don't remember seeing any of the Lambos actually "running." However, they do make good parking lot fodder.

And yes, I'm sure that there are plenty of Porsches who would whoop me this side of Tuesday, but my challenge to all Lambo owners still stands - Stunt Road, any day ... bring a stopwatch because I don't believe in crossing the double yellow unless the road is closed.

As far as me being a 22 know-it all, I may just be full of s**t; you never know. You call me cocky, I call it pride ... I swear, the Porsche set is going soft. Must have been over watered.:)

Oh, and don't take this forum stuff too personally y'all. On the internet, we're all just a bunch of keyboard warriors by the monitor-light.

And I do appreciate the cutting remarks ... a bad reaction is still better than no reaction - it's a good indication that there is still life out there.

Actually, I like your candidness and/or brashness. Having a strong opinion is refreshing. What's best is you can take "the flaming" which earns my respect right there! ;)

Sammyg2 - Age means nothing. Considering you're a "mid-life crisis member," you should know that. And, in all seriousness, I am sorry if I offended you with my antagonistic, and arrogant style of writing. I guess that I have too much passion ... but never once did I make the claim that I know everything. In fact, I claim to KNOW nothing ... according to Socrates, that makes me a freakin' genius.

Oh, and I don't take drugs - not even asprin - but I do appreciate the recommendation. And as far as the news flash, well, I work at the paper so I'm pretty up to date on current events. Good lookin' out though.

first thought...since when is being a paperboy really "work at the paper"?
Ha Ha

Just the first thing I thought when I read the above post.

Yep, the front tilt is a kit sold by Minimania. No more head banging or backaches while working on the engine! 1275 bumped up a bit in the horsepower dept. Never dynoed it, but we may be talking in excess of 100 horsepower!
