Here's Doug, Tyson, Freefly;


And island, Michael? and Randy


Tacoma was parked up in the driveway, and a few others found other ways to get there( jwetering & Drago)

Jamie79SC and Pat's 930 showed up for the prefunction breakfast.
I'm missing a few Im sure.
I suppose you'll just have to come down from the great white north one day.

Thanks so much to all. I really had a great time. Just wish I had been less busy, to chat with folks more. I was very flattered that so many showed up.

Special thanks to Tacoma911 who was first on the scene with donuts and hot wings. He also made several key observations and decisions. Tyson was incredibly adept and helpful, as he always is. He did bring an electric wrench gun into my power tool free-zone and was heard making disparaging remarks about SCs, but I'll forgive the tool violation and let the SCWDP Disciplinary Committee decide sanctions. Go easy on him. He means well.

I know Randy W. was giving rides in his blue car.

The rest of you did a nice job of discussing the project and not dropping your beer bottles. I'm pretty proud.

Thanks to my engine stand assemblers, too. I wished for an assembled engine stand out loud, drank another half-beer and Viola! There was the engine stand.

Apparently, a dozen drunken middle-aged men can do almost anything. Well' they can drop an engine anyway.

Thanks again, guys.

Oops! Did I do *that*????????

[Saffs]

Amazing! Well done, all of you! This is the reality coming out of the virtuality of the BBS: people getting together, helping each other out, and having fun. I'm so impressed, and more of us should follow this lead too.
Wonderful!

[Leland Pate]

My god!

It has taken me all DAY to get this thread to open!
Too many pictures and too slow a computer! I've had to reload it about...oh I dunno...60 times!
Well I am absolutely GREEN with envy.
I saved all of the pictures on disk one at a time.

Well done JIM! Whoo HOO! Right on!
God, I'm so mad... damn terrorists.. i swear I would have been there... I swear.

It looks like you guys had a blast. I especially loved the picture of the three 911s on the street.

I'm still trying to figure out who everybody is.
Jim I know... you can't miss that ugly mug.
Tyson I know,
Randy I know,

A few others look very familiar... just can't place 'em.

sniff sniff......"I'm just so damned proud..."

[B].....beer drinking Pelican heads does it take to remove an engine, you ask? Quite a few, if you go by to this shot:


Are the guys on the ground looking at something or is the beer beginning to take it's toll?

[Superman]

How many Pelicanheads does it take to change an engine? Only one, but the engine has to really, really want to change.

I'm sure we were the talk of the town with all those beautiful machines in my yard. My teenaged daughter and her friends were impressed, which is not easy to do. Island, you'll be proud to know your car got the most first place votes. I understand your feelings about that terrific color.

Leland, we know you would have been there. We know you will be here. This project is just to get my car ready for our leader's inspection visit this summer.

I'd do this again in a hearbeat, so if anyone else has an engine that needs removing.......

[rfix'n]

You guy's look like you had a blast while I sat behind a desk trying to play catch up. Sorry I missed it, there will probally be another one soon as I can see somebody (me) dropping an engine just for the party!

[Eric Coffey]

Thanks a bunch Jim for coming up with, and hosting such a "Super" get-together! Great people, great beer, and great cars... What more could you possibly ask for? I'm thinking an "engine installation clinic" is in order when you get that 3.0 all buttoned up!

Or was it just very spontaneous?

I didn't know a single person there, but I do now. From what I could gather several of the particapants knew each other from either A: the local autocrosses or B: John Walkers swap meet from last year.

Special thanks to Island for the ride down and showing me what a 911 is all about, to Randy for the ride in his "driver" '72S (built to 2.7 spec....wow) and of course our gracious host, Superman!!!

BTW, for all you guys looking to put names to faces, I'm about the only guy there who would have to seriously modifiy the seating arrangement of a 911 so that I could fit. Does that help???

Cheers fellas, and thanks for the day.
