Phew, this work stuff is kinda like um WORK!
We flew the project today. If was nice in that it was 78 degree on February 15th, 2018. No coat needed. Now my jerk boss is gonna make me work all evening to process the data we just flew. The dang customer wants to see data tomorrow before noon! Since he has paid up, we deliver.
In the late 1980s, I took my 914 in to Dumont's for them to replace the first gear syncro. After a lot of miles and 4 or 5 hundred autocrosses first gear was hard to shift into. The cool part of a 901 transmission is one can pull the nose piece off of the transmission and replace the first gear syncro real easy. They got me in and out fast. It was my only car back then so I had my former boss pick me up and drop me off the next day. Dang that seems like a lifetime ago. I sold the 914 in 1995. I bought it in 1974 for $6,750 miles drove it as my only car for until I bought the El Camino in 1991. I sold the 914 for $4,500 after 159,000 fun filled miles and more autocrosses than any street car should endure.
