The wonderful Tim Kinney is providing a set of his 3rd generation led equipped dash gauges. I have the 2nd gen in my care and they are AWESOME. Can't wait to see the new version.

There is a good possibility that two REAL M-471 GTs will be at this year's Okteenerfest (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
And these cars will not only be shown but will be driven with the opportunity for other attendees to ride along (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) One of these is the Erich Strenger car and the other is the last GT of the line in 1971 and the only Gemini Blue Metallic one to be sent to the US. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) Have YOU registered yet? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Alright, this is a big one!
Charles at The Type 4 Store is providing a $500 gift certificate! That would put in a pretty good start on an engine rebuild kit or score some really nice parts. Nice - Very Nice! Who wouldn't love to have an engine with a set of Nickies? |

I was lucky enough to participate last year and just have to say that it was a great experience. One thing that stands out for me was the hour long factory film on the building of the 356, I loved to watch all the steps involved. This was after the cookout on Friday night I think. Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing all the 914-6 GT's mine will still be hanging on the Rotisserie.
Luckily I have a spare 914-4 2.0 that can't wait to get back, hope to see a record crowd!! Vysoc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |

Happy 4th of July everyone!!
Today Nadine and I spent the entire day running and documenting the route, meeting with the hotel and finalizing dinners, checking out lunch spots, etc., etc., etc.... All in misty rain, heavy rain, peaks of sunshine, getting stuck an hour waiting for the Banner Elk Parade to go by, and following some painfully slow drivers....BUT I think we got a lot finalized!!! I will try to put together a video, depending on what came through in the rain. While this year there are no "big name" roads like The Dragon or Moonshiner 28, there certainly will be amazing roads and something for everyone: tight twisties, lazy meandering mountain roads, creek/riverside roads, drives through farmland and an gorgeous stop at Linville Falls. Okteenerfest was developed to be a 914 driving event, to take advantage of the abundance of amazing roads we have in the southeast...so if you love to drive your awesome little car, you DO NOT want to miss this event! |

Oh, and the "on your own" Saturday/Sunday trips will include Grandfather Mountain, 'shopping' at the Mast General Store and the cool little town of Blowing Rock and the Banner Elk Winery!!

I hope it is a driving event! Just dropped a load of $$ on some Koni coil overs for the rear and got all new front end control arms ready to drop in. I am ready to drive!
