at the show. Stopped by a few times but never caught you at the car. It was good to see at least one out there. I was a little chicken to try the 4 hour drive from Raleigh. There were at least two other owners that I ran into up at the autocross. A yellow '75 that was in the parking lot and a young guy who I think was from Atlanta.
The ski rack looked cool. Were those period correct skis, and can you still get the top off? Also, does the insulation on the fuel lines help? |

There was one SCCA guy that I talked to up at the Z4 autocross. I snapped a few pics of the yellow one in the parking lot. I got done looking at the cars in the show and started wandering the parking lot to see what people drove there in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Yours must have been hiding behind an SUV. I met a bunch of people while standing around the car that said that they had a 914 or that they had one at one time. I wasn't sure if any of them were you or not but it seems not (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I still have a little bit of hot start problem but nothing like before adding the heat shielding. You can still take the top off but it becomes a two man job. I'm not really sure on the skis there were in a friends attic and he gave them to me for free. He said that he was just glad to get them out of his attic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) and one of them had a sticker that they were made in germany so it's even better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge6.gif) That yellow and black 928 is my dad's quasi race car. I also saw a green 914 crusing through the SCCA autox on sunday. I tried to run but I got there to late due to a difference in times because eurofest said that it started later then it did.

My car was cleverly disguised as a Ford Ranger. I couldn't stay for both days.
There was a pretty good show in the parking lot too. The workers at the plant must get an amazing discount on Z4's. It seemed like they were everywhere. |

As I understand it depending on your level you can get a fully loaded Z4 or X5 for like 2-300 a month and only have to pay for gas. Insurance and all that other stuff is taken care of by BMW. If your an upper level guy you get a car free every 6 months. So yeah there's some definte perks working there.
