Not all of us made it to the "Edmund Ferry" Jamie and I were enjoying the beautiful scenic drive to the Ferry, when disaster struck. The blades on the electric fan on Jamie's 914 Buick V-8 came off and plowed into the radiator grinding, grinding, grinding until "old faithful" blew. And our drive came to a quick stop! 
We took the limousine back to the motel.

You should change your ID, I don't recall you having any troubles keeping up!
Your 914 looked good, touch up that front fender eh? Sorry I didn't get more of a chance to talk with you. Looks like you and your GF had a good time. Gotta catch up with the group on our teener Tuesdays. Those are always fun.

My wife and I stopped by as everyone was getting back. They looked like they had a great time. I'm glad I was able to let them use my car. Of course I would have loved to go but I needed to stay near my wife. Still no baby though.

BIG THANKS TO GREENIE, Greenie's Wife & KEVIN! And anyone else who helped with the event!
Overall a good time! I had some issues for sure. The fan & radiator issue yesterday. Fixed that this morning with everyones help . Stopped for gas real quick this morning on the way to Raineer. Took a wrong turn & lost everyone. Didn't know we had directions in our packet. So Mark & I went old school & bought a Map 
. Guess we were a little map iliterate & still ended up going the lon way up to MT. Raineer. Car was running great & didn't get over 190 the whole way up. Couldn't find anyone so we just turned around to head back.
That is when the shit hit the fan again! I blew something & started losing some oil onto my header pipe. Smoked a hell of alot & we pulled over quickly. Decided to hitch a ride back to get my trailer 
Luckily along came Tommy his fiance in their 75 green car. So after some waiting for others to show up we deceided I should pile in with them to go get my trailer. Mark would wait for me or the next teener with an open seat. That turned out to be Morgan in his very nice Orange 2.0 about 10 minutes later. Well the 3 of us in Tommy's car was a very tight fit. Thanks to Tommy & his very scrunched Fiance for the lift. She got stuck in the middle & it I am sure was very uncomfortable. THANK YOU 
You Rock 
I'll get my car home to figure out what else went wrong. My have blew head gasket but maybe it's somehting more simple. Either way I had plans to pull for some modifications. It may just get done a little sooner
Thanks to everyone who came. It was so nice to meet many of you. Great to see old faces again too. Everyone took pity on me while I was going to get my car & they were at dinner. They took a up a little slush fund since I had so many problems. That was very nice & though not neccesary I appreciated it. One thing I love about our community. Everyone really is so helpful 
. Even with my few problems I had a great time & will definately come to the next no matter where. I'll sure as hell be towing my car to it just in case though 
Huge thanks to Mark (computers4kids) for all his help. He came up Wednesday & helped me get my car ready. Then got stuck with me when my car crapped out. BOTH TIMES! His WCR was mostly spent screwing around with my car or getting screwed by my car depending on the time of day. I owe you one Mark That valance I gave you isn't going to cover it either . Mayb I'll ship you a slightly modified Radiator 
Sorry this is a book but you still got the cliff notes version

Friday was great, THANK YOU to Greenie and Wife! I met up with group two in Kingston with my neighbor, Dale. He thought that was gathering, he was very surprised to see the REAL gathering at Port Gamble. He is a new era MINI driver and commented that his club barely gets that many people to show up and THEY PAY DUES!
I am SO bummed that I am writing this post from my deck that I had to have a cigar and a wee dram of whiskey to drown my sorrows of not being there today. Seems no matter how old they get, little brothers still are able to be a major pain in the ass! He had his wedding reception today. Just Kidding about him, but REALLY? THIS WEEKEND??
You guys all rawk, even Craig. And seeing the result of the peanut gallery pictures, the line up was totally worth it. I have some shots to post later. For those who may not have know, I was the guy in the red Ferrari team shirt driving the unwaxed green 1970. When you have a green car and you know Greenie will be there, why bother shining it?
Cheers,
Dino

Kudos to Greenie (Curt), General Greenie (Janet), Kevin & Jim Hoyland for all the work and worry they put in to make WCR08 a great party!
It was great meeting so many people who were previously just 'board names, attitudes and avatars'. The amount of time we spent driving these little cars was also impressive. Great roads, great scenery, great fun. I especially enjoyed the moment on the way back from Rainier when two strings of teeners, coming from opposite directions, converged to head north at the same intersection in the middle of the countryside - Hey! where did you guys come from?
Here's a few shots out of my camera:
Teeners take a boat ride
Oh, you wanted a straight line 
Grasshopper Lives! The two Barrys - that's senior behind the wheel - get ready for the Mt. Rainier drive in Jon's Phoenix Red six. Great to see father and son come all the way from Georgia to sample the way we roll in the NW.

Thanks... lot's of great stuff from other guys too... and I know there's even more out there.
Some of the pics are sharper than others... all of the ones on the road were shot blind (camera through the targa), so the quality varies. Good enough for web, maybe not for print. If anyone wants a hi-res file to make prints, PM me and I'll let you if the one that you want is good enough. I'll put the hi-res file of the Port Gamble group on my server and post a link. I have the versions with the drivers only and the drivers/passengers as well.
I had a great time, and I want to thank my driver, Roadster Fan!
Edit:
If there is enough interest, I can get a quantity break on large prints (less than $12 for a 16x20), but shipping might eat up the savings.

Awesome pics Todd. Nice having a good photographer with a good camera get some good pics!
Another snapshot pic here.... Got "B6" in this one (My car in the foreground. Get's that nickname from the initials "Baldwin Boys Basic Black Bastardized Beast" - the more you know of it's story, the more it makes sense).

So that was you with the loose coil wire?
Posted by: Rand Jul 13 2008, 08:04 PM
Yup! Haha. I had enough time while slowing down before the stoplight to tell it was DEAD ignition. I wondered if my Pertronix died or something. Turned out the primary HT wire between coil and dizzy came loose. Plugged it back in and fired right off.

We had a great weekend meeting and hanging out with all of you. Great to see everyone's cars, trade stories and most of all cruisin'. What a beautiful part of the country to get to see. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Greenie for hosting this years get together and thanks to everyone else that helped to make it happen. We will definitely see you again next year. I'll post some of our pics in the next couple days.
Cheers to all!

The drives were spectacular.
Posted by: greenie Jul 14 2008, 10:54 AM
This is my opinion only. I think the food is nice, the beer is good, the drives and any track events are OK. The real fun for me is the parking lot stuff. The BS and attaching faces to names is great. Stories of the old days and some of the characters these cars have attracted are great. Checking out the cars is great. The journey to and from is great (not much travel this time for me). It's tough to put a price on that stuff.

Well, I certainly wanted to be there... Unfortunately priorities kept me away... If I had known McMark was not there I would have dialed his digits and got some help with my project... I 5 lugged the front and started pulling my engine yesterday. Probably will get it done today.
Glad y'all had a good time and the weather was fine...

Even though Jamie and I had a few curve balls thrown at us, I for one can say I had a great time, especially meeting all the neat folks that made the trip. The parking lot truly became the "wateringhole" of the event.
One thing for sure after seeing all the great cars, I sure wish I was able to bring one up. Perhaps next year. I'm really anxious to get home to get my project going.

Awesome thread. Great pictures of an obviously fabulous event. What great locations! Beautiful group shots, I love the various "owners and cars series" and Todd's pics got all that "photographer" thing going on with framing and shadows and stuff.
Great job to all! It takes quite a bit of effort to host something like this, and quite a bit of effort just to participate with a 35 year old car. I appreciate the break downs, cramped drives, missed turns, and all the other descriptions of the WCR experience.

Hey Guys,
If there is one thing I'm good at is striking when the iron's hot ! The last time Janet gave me the go ahead on something it resulted in this year's Ramble.
This car will be for sale very soon, so if you know of someone who might be interested pass it on.

Well, If the pictures are any indication, this was an amazing and well executed event. My hat is off to Greenie and the team and all the spouses who put up with and supported the event... I am so sorry I had to miss it. I haven't even figured out all of the electrical things in my house that were knocked out by the power spike yet. I just finished replacing my programmable thermostat... Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!! And I find that the AC isn't working either... The Electric company is going to be here soon to figure out why I am spiking...
If I could ask anything, it would be to have that picture of Ralph Meany sitting in Curt's car printed in 5X7 and autographed??? I promise I will not miss the next NW event.. Promise promise promise!!!

It was very nice for the few of us that had a chance to visit with Ralph.
A few highlights of our chat:
He described being clocked at 171 MPH in his 2.0L car.
Jim (Roadster Fan ) says he now has the definitive answer regarding the
oilcooler/turbulence debate "it's hard to argue with Ralph"
I asked him a few 911 vs 914 questions " there's so much more you can do with the 914" he said.
Thanks for hooking Ralph up with us, he left with a nice WCR08 T-shirt !
You couldn't bring that car except to a shownshine?

Whew.............900 miles behind me and the family. We got home about 6 hours ago. Greenie and "The General" (with great helpers) pulled off a terrific weekend.
Great drives, great cars, great people, great food, and great drink! It was great to meet many on this board and put faces and real names to screen names and avatars.
Seeing some of the pics that Todd Enlund took from my passenger seat took me right back to the drives and bull sessions in the parking lot. It was great to meet you Todd!
I will sum up our 880 mile journey from Santa Cruz, CA with this:
WCR2008 registration $ 75........1971 Porsche 914 in cosmetically
challenged condition $ 750..................Discussing the racing/construction of a 914/6 GT with Ralph Meaney on Sunday $$$$$$$$ Priceless!!!!!

Good looking car and color combo. It's different and I like that. From the pics I have a suggestion. Despite the primer spots on the car, a $30 sail panel vinyl kit from Camp914 would do wonders for the appearance. At least that would seem to be the case from pics as I said.

WCR2008 registration $ 75........1971 Porsche 914 in cosmetically
challenged condition $ 750..................Discussing the racing/construction of a 914/6 GT with Ralph Meaney on Sunday $$$$$$$$ Priceless!!!!!
Can't wait till next year..............yoohoo SoCal peeps where are you?????? If you don't hurry it may have to be in Monterey!
Jim
What I want to ask is did you get your $75.00 Bones worth???
This is my last & final shot at Mr. 6Freak
(if he can dish it out ,he's got to be able to take it)I will have to say that 6freaK turned out to be a very good guy & a nice addition to the group.
(especially with that red car)Jim it really made the event for me to see you & the family towing your trailer queen all the way up !
See you at next year's WCR09!!!
well i got 70$ worth!! a Guards Red lanyard would have made the differance
Thanks for all the work curt and Company ..someone said you were gonna be chair person next year.My vote is for you ...P.S ive always been a good guy YOU just didnt know it

I just did that ride, unfortunately it was in a Toyota Tacoma instead of the 914. Since I couldn't make WCR, I'm looking forward to the Rainier run! When? When?

No doubt. A camping trip to Mt. Rainier was planned a year ago, figures it would be the same weekend as the WCR!

Again, why can't any of you guys read? Have you noticed Greenie's new signature block? Note the line that reads: WCR08 Organizer "Retired" - I'm pretty sure that means permanently retired!
Mine will soon read WCR08 CFO and hand holder - Retired - Been there, done that, got the t-shirt! Now it's across the mountains to Crescent Bar for a long weekend of relaxation (and some drying out . . . )

Thanks again to all the organizers and participants for making this such a fabulous and memorable event!
Sometimes it's the small details that really matter ...
Here are fews pics of some nice details on the Teeners ...
The roll cage connection and rear wheel on Elliott's car ...
Offenhauser power of JRust's ride ...
Sixnotfour's 2.4 - 6 powered beauty - he wins the award for the best gas and oil caps (sorry this pic doesn't show enough detail - but they are a work of art) ...

Actually, that was a statement for the General.
Because I didn't pre-register, she kept tracking me down with her hand held out. Sheese! It was pretty funny on the 2nd day. Michelle and I should have pre-registered. But I was working 2 full time jobs and didn't think we'd be able to make it.

i wonder if the kiwi that took pictures at the top of the pass will remember to register and post? that was a classic exchange with the older gent.

The General wore many hats during the planning and execution of this event . . . CFO and 'enforcer' were two of them . . .
If you ever need $$$$ collected from someone, you know where to find me - I'm STILL finding money stuffed in the pockets of various outfits I wore throughout the weekend.
For those of you who said "I'll send you a check early next week" remember - I know who you are, I know where you live, and I will hunt you down . . . .
BTW, how many posts does it take before you become a post whore?

Being a post whore is an art
More about you average posts per day. I'd say if you average 4 or more a day you qualify.

Hey this is my first chance to post since I left on Sunday.
I want to thank Greenie and Janet, for the excelent weekend. All was well planed and organized ( except for the idiot who led us from Pt Gamble to Bainbridge ).
It was great to meet all the local members and teeners who live the 914 lifestyle.
Thanks Troy, Kevin, and all the other folks who I had to relearn their names each day because of the keg.
I do have some pictures to post but I think the ones that are posted spell it out.
When I get back from Florida( it sucks, Hot and rainy ) I'll review my Video and see if any is worth posting.
Thanks again everyone for all the complements on my car,
I don't think Greenie should retire as an organizer, a promotion is in order.
I will see you all sooner than later,
Tony

Sorry about all the trouble. If it makes any difference the WCR was a complete bust. Nobody enjoyed themselves at all. The ride to Ranier was long and boring and I'm told the ferry almost sank and scared the hell out of everyone. The food was lousy and so was the hotel. Half the group was arrested for drunk and disorderly one of the guys was arrested for swimming naked in the pool. The Issawhatsit police were giving out nasty looks to everyone. One of us was even given a speeding ticket (a story that has yet to be finished) immediately upon entering the state of Washington. I myself was forced to drive through the Mt. Hood National Forest!! Nothing but curvy roads, huge pine trees, blue sky, and SNOW. I had to deal with snow in July!! Can you imagine? It was horrible. Because of the fires in California, I was forced to drive up the coastline of California and Oregon, adding literally hours to my trip up there. Nothing to look at but more big green trees and ocean. What a bore! Why your problems PALE in comparison to what we had to indure on the WCR. Count your blessings you weren't there.

I had to admit that when I heard just how bad WCR was this year, that pile of toasted appliances and electronic devices by my basement door suddenly looked small and insignificant. I felt selfish for bringing it up. I have to thank Elliot for bringing perspective to my point of view. I feel so sorry for those of you who had to go. Perhaps an online support group? It helps when you know others have suffered as you have. I watched Andy's video and I have to admit once you have seen a tree you pretty much have it down... The ocean? It's all wet.
I can hear it now... "hi, umm a... my name is Curt and I went to WCR in Seattle." Hi Curt! "I thought it would be fun but there wasn't any of the famous Northwest rain showers." Oh Curt, we hear you! "At last years WCR someone almost got arrested and they got kicked out of the hotel, This year all we could manage was a speeding ticket." Sounds boring Curt! "I love you guys. I feel so much better now that I have shared." We care Curt! We have been there too! Group Hug!!!

Great time! Where else can you go and someone hands you the keys to his 6 cylinder and says "have fun"? Thanks Jon and thanks to "those guys" that arranged it. I took two days of hell getting back to GA. We spent Sunday night in O'hare and finally ended up in Greenville SC and got a rental car. The glamour of aviation! Now GrasshopperJr can get back to his love life.
