This might be old news at this stage. But, I believe 2 M-471 914s are coming Okteenerfest this weekend. This event really has become such an important 914 event. I can't wait.

The weather forecast for the coming weekend in Banner Elk... mostly sunny with highs in the low to mid 70s. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
Perfect driving weather (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Anyone else besides me not even started to get ready yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

We have about 10 cars going, and one of them just got fired up for the first time since a bare-metal resto and 3.6L conversion ;-). It's going to attend only mostly complete - the interior won't be finished and the running gear will need some cleaning up afterwards, but with 205's under the back of a healthy 3.6 it should be plenty of fun coming out of the slower corners! FYI everybody, I (Cody Forbes) will be in an orange #2 Monte Carlo Rally GT replica (with a 3.2L) for the drive Friday with a selection of tools, volt meter, temp guns, and maybe a small selection of common issue items like points and a fuel pump. I'll also have a passenger seat available ;-). I'll give my personal cell number for emergency on-call service to anybody that approaches (or PM's here) so that there's a high likelihood of being able to find someone that an reach me, but I don't want to post it on a public forum. My father won't make it in time for the drive due to a commitment Friday AM, but he will be arriving to Banner Elk mid-afternoon Friday so if anybody needs technical help back at base camp he can be contacted.

QUOTE(poorsche914 @ Aug 31 2015, 11:07 PM) Still working on the details for the actual shirt art but here is the basic design. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Any chance of making this into a good sized poster and selling them? I'd take 3. I need top post them around the house so the wife knows that some people have running versions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |

I have made 12x18 posters. Will have them at Okteenerfest to sell. Any left I will offer to anyone who wants one.
