I was waitiing for someone else to start a thread, since I don't have pictures, but here it goes.
I phoned Ralf late Friday to say I would only show up on Saturday morning. Ralf phones back half an hour later saying: "Michel, Do you have a spare CV joint at home you can bring ? someone showed up with a broken one, like you did last year" I was only happy to return a favor, so I brought a whole half-shaft. Turns out the CV joint was not broken, but that the bolts had backed out at the left outboard end. Repairs got done, and the ramble happened. I rode with Ed Villela, in his 911, 'cause I felt like a break from driving (and because Ed is a nice guy). We were in a little group of three cars that had hung back on account of the CV joint repair. With us were Nick and Heather in their absolutely awesome 914 with flares and camed 3.0 SC engine, and Mihai with his 914-project-in-the-making (Hey, he made the trip and back). Then, a few beers before dinner, which was great. This thread will get more interesting as people post pictures (unless another is started) but the weather held and we had a great time. I left after dinner, around 22:00, and was home at 1:30 Sunday morning. The green car ran like a top and all was well. I did hit a skunk near Plattsburgh NY. Nice to see everyboy again, and I look forward to next year ! |

I had a great time as well. Michel was a great copilot and photographer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
Lots of nice cars and lots of new folks this year, once again the ECR was a great success. I had just finished the 3.0L 914-6 that I was building for Nick Cole on Friday. This was the maiden voyage. With the exception of the cv bolts coming loose on 1 axle, the car logged about 1000 trouble free miles this weekend. Nicks car has a 1980 3.0L, with a fresh top end, 964 cams, CIS, headers and a sport muffler. This car absolutely flyes. It is amazingly quick, snapping your head back into the seats in the first 3 gears. It may be the fastest 914 that I have ever driven. It is incredibly smooth and quite on the highway, an absolute pleaseure to drive. I now understand the mystique of a well set up 914-6. Don't let antone bullsh%t you, nothing else rocks like a flat six in the middle of a 914. Now I gotta build one for myself (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) . BTW- you can see the 914 in my webshots album, under Nick Cole's 914. I saw and drove Mihai's 914, he did an excellent job on his longitudianl repairs. The car is stiff and tracks well, No creaks or rattles or groans from the body. Keep up the great work Mihai. It was a pleasure seeing all my ramble buddies and we did miss the regulars who couln't make it. Ralph did an outstanding job as usual. Can't wait to see some pictures get posted. Regards, Ed |
