At least Bi-annual. Maybe more. Ron and I were talking about either late August or Early September for the next on.
And I will conceed the most reliable 914 to Mike, since the Blond only logged about 1/2 what he did. I will accept the "Loudest of the Bunch Award" And the Car isn't that quiet either.....

Great Pictures Mike. It makes me even more sad that I could not make it. I will make sure I have something to drive next time. I am going to get both of them running so if one cant make it the other one can. After the bolt broke on the flywheel I gave up for the night. When I went back out in the morning there was a huge puddle of oil on the ground under the front of the engine. I have not even touched it since. I am in such disgust right now I cannot even bring myself to work on the stupid thing. I am thinking about taking to a Porsche mechanic and just say "Here, fix it". I came down with a really bad cold on Sunday and I still have it now. I will go to the next event for sure.

Yeah, Scott, just take it easy - it'll be fine.
Looked at my wheels when I got to the office today - 3 of them have cracks. Crap.

How do Fuch wheels crack?? I thought forged wheels would never crack under normal driving conditions. What did you do????

Mike, you didn't hit anything or really bend it hard - are you sure they weren't there before? Are they real ****s, Uh I mean Fuchs?
Red Beard is a wuss - I saw him hit the brakes where Mike & Jewel screamed on thru (Ok James, you get to try me out next time and you know I'm not afraid to wreck, except in a Honda - that would be embarrasing).

Mike - HEY! I resemble that remark....
Ron - You're on! But you have to understand, I only hit the brakes to avoid running over Mike and Noel.... James

Oh, you could do the same thing. Get a bunch of the local guys to drive through SouthEast in 914s at breakneck speeds.....
Of course they don't have "Papas and Beer" in SouthEast. You have to settle for Po Boy's and Forty's James

Ron - think "Compton". The cops don't go there...
You may have to worry about gun fire, but it ain't the cops... James
